My memory

 

Quick sleep update - going into week 3 of my sleep app program I've had to do 'restrictive' sleeping. Based on my sleep diary of the previous 2 weeks the app calculated that I can only sleep for 7 hours this week. So because I want to get up at 7.30am I can't go to bed until 12.30am! I can't do anything in bed except sleep therefore I can only be in bed for 7 hours. Going to bed after midnight is pretty tough but I'm determined. The first night was not great. No meds that night and it took me ages to fall asleep so I was knackered but it's getting easier. This 7 hour window isn't permanent, it will grow. I'll keep you posted. 

The picture this week is Mark's birthday cake. Victoria sandwich sandwiches! They were good and I was chuffed with the design. The appearance of my cakes is normally my down fall, but these were canny.

I've mentioned my appalling memory many times but today I'm going to try to explain it to you, just because I want to and to stop the gas lighting! I know what I've forgotten or what I haven't forgotten. For example, if my boss asks me to email such and such I either do it immediately or I write a note to remind me. If I forget and my boss asks me again I'll remember that I was asked but forgot. Now if you ask me what I bought my bestie for Christmas last year and I've forgotten then I have really forgotten. She might say it was a sweater and I'll be like "oh a sweater, I don't remember that" and it was a sweater. But if she says it was Watch and I know it wasn't a watch - even though I don't remember what it was then I will know that it wasn't a watch. Even though I don't know what it was but it definitely wasn't a watch, I will be right! It's complicated but I hope you get a grasp of what I'm talking about. I know what I don't remember. 

Had a night away for Mark's birthday. Meldrum House hotel was very nice. Nice quirky room, lots of space with a big comfy bed. We had fun, I enjoyed a few drinks (my only alcohol for ages) and Bella had a great time too. 

Have a lovely week and see you next Friday xx

What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.
