[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1846238, member: 89387"] Yeah, it's no fun for me either. I'll be all settled down in bed reading a book or falling asleep, and then all of a sudden I have to get up and go make sure I locked all the doors for the night. I have these little mental rituals I go through to memorize the date and time that I checked the locks so that I don't forget if I did it and then have to go check again. Cleanliness, not so much in my case, and with my background in biology, you'd think I'd be a germophobe, but somehow that just didn't happen. My house would probably be cleaner and healthier if I were a little more OCD about stuff like that than I am, but I always liked a little wall plaque that my mother had -- It said, "My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy." :mrgreen: I've been accused of using my mental condition as a "crutch" too -- even by my own sisters. I get, "Are you sure you're not just telling yourself that?" or, "Yeah, we're burned out too, but we can't afford to quit our jobs." (Neither could I, but I had to anyway.) We're all retired now (I get to call myself "retired" now that I'm over 60), so I don't get that so much from them anymore, and I've learned not to bring it up. You and me both with the sleep thing too -- my circadian rhythms don't belong on this planet, so I sleep whenever I'm tired and get up whenever I feel like I have enough energy to do a few things. But I've tried keeping track this month and it's turning out that I'm actually getting about 8 hours of "sleep" (not always good quality sleep) per 24 hour period, just not all at the same time. So I don't know if I should call that "insomnia" or "non-24." I wish I could "pull my own weight" (because I've got a lot of weight to pull :roll: ), so that my husband would be able to kick back and have dinner and go to bed when he comes home from work, but he almost always has to help me with critter care. He's willing to do it though -- he loves Puff (and loved Squirmles, when he was still alive) as much as I do. And believe it or not, he appreciates the little that I'm able to do, no matter how little. We've both got good husbands. :) :) Puff is still stuffing greens in the front end and pooping out the back end almost every day -- like someone flipped a switch. He's more alert and active too -- almost like a different beardie. Gets excited when he sees me knitting -- probably thinks the yarn is worms. :lol: I was wondering about Victor -- nice to hear he's still singing and talking and doing well. Is he learning any new songs or words? Does he listen when you practice with the guitar? And BTW, that wasn't such a bad "TLDR" -- I think some of mine get much worse. :wink: [/QUOTE]
