How are you today my lovely? I hope you managed to sleep well last night. I received about 6 hrs, it was very humid all night and I was awoken early, but I can survive on 6hrs (I do well on 8 though). Some sleeping meds can cause a hang over the next day I have experienced - I take them as well due to ongoing stress. That is all I take now as I cannot handle the side effects of medications that were prescribed in the past. I found a type of sleeping med that suited me better - they work well for 4 hrs of solid sleep and have no after effects the next day if I take them early. I understand how important sleep is to cope - I need a lot.
I hope your daughter didn't lose a lot of uni work when the computer crashed. Did she pick up a computer virus when it crashed? My computer crashed like that quite a few years ago - we were lucky that my husband was able to retrieve the files on it - it was years of photos, videos and memories. I was devastated at the time so I can understand your disappointment. I was working on putting together a video of my daughter's younger years with special effects etc when it happened to me. It's good that your daughter is able to use the computer again - essential for study now a days.
I love curries @Former-Member - Your cooking sounds too tempting. I am like you where I eat basic food most of the time, but will lash out occasionally. I make my own version of Indian samosas with mint yoghurt sauce and I have a waiting list for dinner at my place for them - they are a winner. But otherwise my cooking is average. I have cooked the Samosas for weddings and functions in the past. It's very hard work - I admire chefs and how hard they work (so stressful).
I hope your stomach has settled down - I find sugar substitutes and fatty foods does the same to me so I try and eat lots of fruit and vegetables (raw salads).
I have just returned from visiting my best friend and her sick husband (he has stage 4 cancer). He starts chemo next week and I need to get myself together as they will need me. I can't let them down in their darkest moments.
I hope you and your family are have a relaxing weekend and that there are many peaceful moments for you all to enjoy 😄😘x
