Moving and Sleeping

Here I am stealing the mumster spot on the bed, all snuggled in against the cold.  Last night was frosty, but today was full of sunshine and mum saw some blossoms while she was out and about.  She bought exciting things like a new shower curtain, flea treatments (I didn't know she has fleas) and some groceries.  Fresh Hoki fish and salad for dinner for her, and a feast for me.

So we are relaxing and getting ready for sleeping.  This middle aged lady sleeping business is not for suckers.  Mum is trying to cut a pattern she has of not going to sleep til 1.30 am and only getting four or five hours sleep.  This makes her grumpy in the afternoon and ready for a nap come 4pm.  So she is trying to hit the pillow by 11.30pm at the latest, even if she reads for a half hour or so, it still gives her a better sleep.

Oh - and she discovered the pedometer function on her ipod today.  She managed 8500 steps which she didn't think was too bad, as her feet were sore today.  Good on you mum.

  2. Poppy, dear, please do whatever you can to enable your mum to get at least 7 hours uninterrupted sleep each night. If she thinks sharing her flea meds with you will help, be a good girl and say *thank you*.

  3. Four or five hours of sleep a night isn't good enough for anyone. I agree your mum should try for more, Poppy.
