Life is too short to drink bad wine.

I have more times now when I pause and think "life's pretty good right now" and smile. I've gotten better at not catastrophising and letting my anxiety over things I can't control run riot in my head. I can easily slip into a 20 min meditation. Still having trouble with sleep even though I don't have to rise so early anymore so that's a big thing on my list of things to tackle. My Mother keeps saying I need to get checked out for a CPAP but I'm resistant, should probably get over that. I'm looking to change GP's and that's going high on my list of things to talk with her about. Still not moving enough and snacking too much but I'm a work in progress. Money is tight but not desperate, once I have my credit card paid off and several projects taken care of in the house there will be more disposable income.

So overall I give this year a solid B (to my American friends, that's a great grade)

I had a slow start this morning, I think I'm going to try to get to be a bit earlier today, 10:30 lights out will hopefully do it. I've been working my way through various sleep meditations on InsightTimer and some are really excellent but few are exactly what I want. There's way too much you feel sleepy, very sleepy, you deserve to be sleepy, your definitely sleepy. On the other hand, I want something more exciting than the average body scan with relaxation. I don't want to do too many chakra meditations for fear of conditioning myself into falling asleep whenever I do one. I guess I'm just picky. Toaster kept me company for a lot of the night lying right next to my feet, after I went to the bathroom she decided to perch on my shoulder and proceeded to slowly slide off as she fell asleep.

Were' trying a new dish, a beetroot, salad with feta and those bitter salad leaves the name of which currently escape me. I've also recently found a split lentil dhal recipe I'm dying to try, it's simple but I think will be very yummy. Maybe I'll try making roti again to go with it.

My nervous eye twitch is still bothering me, it's been well over a year now and it's getting worse rather than better. All I can see online is sleep more, reduce stress, and drink less caffeine. Which I've done a lot of but apparently not enough.

Need to motivate on making more mustard for yule presents soon, need to add that to my Google tasks.I need to start inventorying my stores to prep for holiday baking, this weekend perhaps.
