All I Want Is To Sleep Through The Night

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I woke up way too early again. I wish I knew why I was waking up so freaking early. I just want to be able to sleep and not worry about insomnia or PTSD getting in the way of me able to sleep. I will need stay focused at work today so I am not a cranky bucket. Since I have not been able to go back to sleep, I have been working on a jigsaw puzzle. Specifically, a cat jigsaw puzzle. For some reason, doing a jigsaw calms my mind.

Too Early To Be Up On A Sunday Morning

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I am up way too early on a Sunday morning here in Seattle. I’m not one percent sure why I am up so early and I have my theories on to why I am up so early. The two theories that come to mind are a combination of insomnia and PTSD. Both royally suck shit especially when both are wrapped as one present. Since I have not been able to sleep, I have been working on a cat jigsaw puzzle.

Still Haven’t Slept; Been Awake Over 24-Hours

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I have not been able to sleep, and I am tired as hell. My theory on why I have not been able to sleep is due to a combination of insomnia and PTSD. Since I was unable to sleep and still unable to sleep, I have been listening to various types of music and doing a jigsaw puzzle. In fact, the jigsaw puzzle I am working on is a cat puzzle. I love doing jigsaw puzzles especially when listening to awesome music.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except I hope to get some sleep at some point today as I cuddle with my cat, Billie. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog.

Sleepless In Seattle Type Of Night

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is 2:07 in the morning here in Seattle and I am unable to sleep which sucks shit. Since I have not been able to sleep, I have been doing a jigsaw puzzle while listening to a podcast about philosophy. The jigsaw puzzle that I am doing is a cat puzzle which should surprise any of my regular readers as I love cats. The podcast about philosophy that I am listening to is Philosophize This by Stephen West. I am slowly but surely getting caught up with the podcast. While doing the cat jigsaw puzzle and listening to Philosophize This by Stephen West, my cat, Billie has been curled up in my lap sleeping.

The Holiday Traditions I am Creating for Myself

Posted on by Gertie

Happy in the middling of the night from Seattle for those of use who are unable to sleep especially when a cat decides to sit on your lap and will not move for the life of him. I do love my Billie boy though. I am so in love with my cat Billie.

For many people in American culture, spending time with family and/or friends indulging with food and spending too much on unnecessary family drama. Yes, I am guilty of continuously playing this role but my family isn’t getting any yound and despite how dysfunctional they are, I still love them.

On that note I had a therapist that suggested I start my own traditions which I did with some push back. I started by reading A Superhereo Christmas comic books volume one and two and doing wintry and/holiday jigsaw puzzles. I then tart reading holiday books which helps with my tradition. Now I am doing Christmas Dot to Dot ro adults and NO they are NOT X Rated. I am also starting a new tradition this year by doing a Christmas logic problem. Oh lets not forget the artwork of coloring. I love the coloring part of the holidays.
