Thank you to all that wrote to me !!!Today is a much better day then yesterday . I got a little more sleep . Seems I am not the only one with this problem. Others I know and have talked with are having a similar problem.We have also had attention deficit problems off and on. Hard to concentrate on simple things like watching an entire movie or reading books . Some can do one but not the other , while others of us can do all , or neither .Stress. But it is getting better .

I got my 1st instant message on my phone from a friend tonight  . The 1st since I think May?So great to send a ms, stating what you want to say and not having to make conversation when you are really not in the mood or busy .Loving it.

The neighborhood shooter is still at large, shooting at will . We never see him . He is like a ghost. We certainly can hear him though. I wish they would catch him soon. We thought they might have this morning when we heard a lot of gunfire but since he has been walking around tonight and shooting , I guess they didn't. Oh well , soon ???

My daughter started a Facebook page for me and my cause. I am so proud of her for her support !It is for the organization of a legal petition to present to the NTC eventually when the new Libyan constitution is drawn up asking for certain rights for (women like me ) foreign spouses/ and children of Libyans married to foreign spouses . I will post the page for you to sign up and /or just show your support even if you are not in either of these categories , later on when I have the page ip here .So exciting to think that after 40 years, the many sacrifices made to live here and raise a family, may actually be acknowledged by giving me and so many others like me, rights that most Libyans take for granted in Libya. I have high hopes that the NTC will add this new law to the new constitution when drafted and ratified.

Sleep and Brains

I

I was watcing T.V. this morning .A medical panel was on the show . They were discussing this and that . The topic of evolved human brains came up . A scientific study showed that women's brains were much more evolved than mens . That women were actually much smarter than men, on a general whole . Since women were so much smarter and their brains more evolved than mens brains, they were able to muti task much more than the average man . The study went on to say that a person who has a more devoloped brain would require more sleep then the normal persons typical 8 hours . So , I am thinking I must have a SUPER devoloped brain . I need at LEAST  8 hours sleep , sometimes more to be a cordial  person , lol !How many hours of sleep do you need?

Sleep

Have you ever noticed how when you want to go to sleep sometimes , everything on your body starts to itch ? First it is a little tiny flick of a itch on the side of your nose , like a mosquito just flew by your head . That puts the idea in your mind that there ARE mosquito's in the bedroom and then that's all you can think about , those mosquito's looking for a nice juicy place to land on your body to suck your blood .

Then you feel something on your leg .A twitchy something . Something that keeps coming back After you have already scratched that place twice ? Next it might be your arm . So , now no matter HOW hot it is , you cover up with the sheet so that whatever it is that is crawling all over you ; and here your imagination is running WILD by now ,you won't feel it . BUT YOU DO ANYWAY ?

You toss and turn in bed and still feel that THING just as you begin to fall asleep . Now doesn't that JUST DRIVE YOU CRAZY ? You even go so far as to get up and turn on the lights to FIND the demon mosquito that you are convinced is on a personal mission to make you miserable ! Hunt as much as you will , it is nowhere to be found ! ERG H !!!!

Next you try to convince yourself that there ISN"T anything in the room with you and it is all in your mind . Your skin is crawling by now and every nerve in your body is on a red alert for any incoming enemy . You lie as silently as possible , straining your ears for any sound whatsoever , but all you can hear is the ringing in your ears from your blood pressure .

Finally you give up on any sleep and get out of bed .You go turn on the TV in the living room . And what do you know , here comes that pesky mosquito from the bedroom .SLAM ! You got it ! Hip , hip , hurray !It's DEAD ! OK , now you can go back to bed and get some sleep .No more bugs crawling on you looking to suck your blood . You are almost asleep and then you feel it ...... another darn mosquito ! OMG !
