Night Owl's Hangout

I had a lot of anxiety again today so I tried to get myself to relax more by taking a nice hot bath. That helped some but not completely. I think I need to cut down on the caffeine, too. I tend to worry a lot and think the worst is going to happen at times. Sometimes I can talk myself out of that but then something else seems to pop up to worry about. This can cause me to have sleep problems as well. My mind starts going and can't shut it off. The sound machine I have is somewhat helpful if I can quiet my mind enough to listen to it.

You have my sympathy, and there are plenty of real things to worry about these days.
 
You can put this in the fridge to chill for later tonight.

Something cute just happened. I play YouTube videos on my tv of Parakeets in an aviary for Jasmine my parakeet. She always gets excited when she hears the Parakeet chirping on the videos but just today has taken to sitting on top of the tv where the sound comes out. So she is sitting there right next to me as I type. She is such an adorable little birdie!
 
I was telling Suzy dog tonight she's got to bark to tell me when she wants something. She often sits and stares at me when she wants something and I don't always know she is wanting something from me. So, I asked her if she wanted her food tonight and she jumped off the couch and started barking to me. I fed her her food and also told her she needs to start barking at me when she wants something from me. I hope she will. It made me think that I, too, have got to ask for the things I need and want because they are not magically going to come to me if I don't. I think my life may start going better if I start asking for those things I need/want.

I think that is a key insight that all of us should think about. Bravo to you.
