sleep and quiet

 Since the clocks went back , i have had awful trouble being able to sleep all the way through the night. Master and i have tried altering bedtimes.. reading longer , not reading ..meditation, not eating or drinking things after a certain time, avoiding food.. well you get the picture....and the list goes on.
BUT, still , between four and five its like an alarm clock goes off and i am awake.
To be fair , Master has not said anything about it , as in worrying about it, but i am left with the feeling that it would be nice just to be able to curl up and drift back off to sleep next to Him when this happens....... i can't , i tried , but apparently i fidget and toss and turn, and no amount of correction seems to be able to cure this.
So, His answer was to be able to spend this time wisely doing things for me now.. Spring will come soon enough and then it will be light enough to work in the garden. How ever there is to be no crashing about in the kitchen....... ( ummm do i crash) no watching mindless television or video games, ... and so i have come to reading blogs, and decided that maybe it might be a good time for me to be able to do mine.
Daughter visited yesterday, and both her and the middle son were ultra hyper with the preparation to the holidays coming up. She very kindly brought me some pyjamas  as she was able to get quite a good price on these and luckily enough Master seems to like them also as they are practical and do not show off any left over strips or crop bites
i have been doing a little present shopping for Himself the last few mornings also and managed to find Him some beautiful gifts, if not some a little quirky, this year...... His collectible arrived from the states the other day and so many times i have almost told Him what it is by accident. Fortunately i have stopped just in time. i think one of the best times for  me is being able to watch his face as He opens the small tokens i have brought for Him out of my allowance , and seeing that i have got it right.
Hope everyone Else's holiday plans are going OK ...
hugs
