That is wonderful you took the first step to solving it. I hope it goes well and you don't have to think about it anymore soon.No, normally I sleep pretty good. I just have a lot on my mind this week, and I think it's just that time of the month for me. I seem to have more anxiety when I'm hormonal but luckily it just lasts a few days.
There has been something that has been bothering me but yesterday I finally took the first step on solving the issue and that did make me feel better

That sounds hard especially being from PTSD.Sorry to hear about the insomnia problems, my friends. I'm also in the Sleepless Nights Club. Due to PTSD I've slept through the night 7 times in just under 19 years. 6 hours (waking up a few times) is a good night.
I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
Thank you. Glad your insomnia isn't all the time.
Thank you! Yeah, it's unreal what our bodies, and minds, can get used to.Jen, I am sorry to hear that you are a Sleep-deprived Sister too).

Thank you.
Stupid PTSD... 
When I feel that way, it helps to list the issues and brainstorm ideas for what I can do to make things better. If it's school, your dean/advisor can listen and advise you to help find solutions you haven't realized yet. I hope today goes better for you.

How did school go for you this term? I thought about you a lot during this time. It took a long time to get some of my students settled but we ended the term really strong and bonded, me and the kids and the kids with each other. They did really well.
I can appreciate your strategy of moving forward just one day at a time. That’s about all we can muster right now.
Oh man I almost succumbed to the Rebecca Minkoff sale, must be strong! 
I need to distract myself with chores as punishment lol

Uggghhh so frustrated with myself! I received an offer, I countered and didn’t see that they countered back. I would have accepted. But then I get a message that they purchased it elsewhere. The second counter offer didn’t pop up in my notifications so it was sitting for a few hours.
Oh well
Oh well
I'm so sorry for those of you are having trouble sleeping. I have been there exhausted when my DS1 couldn't sleep through the night. We were all so exhausted. There was a point when DS1 had 3 doses of melatonin through out the night and DS1 still couldn't fall asleep. That's when we gave up and had to put him on prescription Rx.
I hate that! Which site? I've missed sales on Mercari because they don't send me notifications. PM has been great about notifications.Uggghhh so frustrated with myself!

I have exciting good news and not so good sad news. The vinyl sidings are finally going up on the house. It's only half done and looks so good! I panicked a lot when the trim came in which are "linen" and the sales guy convinced me it would look "fine". 
I decided to give it a chance and once the material came in it looked exactly what I feared it would look like: 80s computers bone color. 
I had to get it all changed before they even got a chance to use the linen trim. I knew I would hate it and be ok with just "fine'.. luckily for us they had everything in stock in glacier white and we didn't have to pay anything extra. I knew I would hate coming home to see the warm linen tone which I could see clashed with the cool tone of the cape cod gray siding we chose.
The pic isn't great as it's overcast here. But yeah no bone or linen for us. Phew! So glad I got it changed last minute.
As for the sad news.. my nextdoor neighbors GSD has cancer in her lungs. It's inoperable. I don't know other details yet except the cancerous growths are the size of a cherry a two pea sized mass. I'm so sad. That dog is just as much as my dog cuz I walk her every day and she always comes over to hang out with our dogs.

It was Mercari. Although this person had an open offer with me and made an offer elsewhere at the same time. Kind of risky.
I saw the bag they bought and for $5 cheaper they went with a preowned while mine was perfect and NWT …ok lol Maybe they had credits with Poshmark.

Glad you got the siding changed. Back when we did our siding we chose a warm taupe so a linen white trim went better for us. It’s better to spend the extra time getting it right.
What is a GSD? I’m assuming that’s a dog breed. That’s so sad, I’m sorry.
