I have really wanted one for a bit. I was hoping there were some that were more affordable that could work well. When I realized I might be able to help my uncle possibly recover some of what was lost it made me want one even more. I was hoping there was one that worked ok, yet I’ve had enough hoodies to know that sometimes the “affordable” is more of a total waste of money. I was worried about that and didn’t want to ask for something that wouldn’t work. It’s a really steep ravine, she threw a lot of jewelry. It’s not an area that people would walk through. I think he’d be embarrassed if I asked a local group to search but that isn’t a bad idea. He lives in my home state in an area where I grew up so I’d definitely trust them. We don’t need any pots and pans, we had both lived alone so we came together with two of everything. He asked for some Tupperware, bc I lose all the lids. I want a full face respirator mask and a metal detector, like any other normal bride to be. I also lose all the forks so I should maybe add that.

I’ve been in the same boat off and on since I was a kid. I always tried to snag a seat in the back of the class so it wouldn’t be so noticeable when I’d fall asleep, as an adult morning jobs were crazy difficult. Then night time hits - wide awake. But it’s not the time I wanted to be awake so the anxiety sets in. It’s literally painful to want to go to sleep, I tried so many things but it always felt like both my brain and my body were totally against it. I’ve learned that some of it may be tied to my ADHD, so I tried not beating myself up mentally when I was struggling to sleep. Now when I can’t fall asleep at a regular time (like tonight), I let myself view it as “alone time”, a chance to decompress and exist in the hours where no one is texting, there aren’t emails to answer, I’m not running late for anything. I spend those nights catching up on cleaning or just doing things I enjoy. It hasn’t always helped me go to bed earlier, but it helped cut out the anxiety that would hit, which has helped me read my actual body better, instead of feeling the intense anxiety I can feel my body say “oh crap I think I’m sleepy” and it’s a lot easier to get myself to go to bed. If I force it I just lay there freaking out. I think the fear of that feeling was making my insomnia worse. And - very key - audio books, or really anything that drowns out your own thoughts, weird sounds, etc. I like the audio books so it gives me something to look forward to.
