Lie in at last

I realised yesterday that I haven't had a really good sleep since the end of August, probably since my car was broken into and wrecked after being left in a Birkenhead car park. Since then, I've had so many things to get sorted, so many huge adjustments to make, that sleep has suffered. I moved out of my own house shortly after that to my parents again, rented my house, and moved to Falmouth for a year. I haven't caught my breath yet. It's taking a while to get settled and to adjust to the idea that I now live in someone else's house, with them, and with two other students. That has been harder than I realised. In fact, I don't think I thought very much about that aspect at all before moving here. I am slowly accepting that I now have just one room which is bedroom, living room, office and bathroom (toilet and shower in a cosy en suite!) to me, and that I do not exclusively use the kitchen. I am definitely an independent person, sharing is tough at times. I'm fortunate to be sharing the house with some nice people.
Sleep though. Last night wasn't too bad, it was only around midnight before I fell asleep, and I did manage to lie in, blissful. Tomorrow I will try to as well. Today has been a good day, almost every item on my 'to do' list has been accomplished. Also, I found some good things at the car boot sale so ebay can be up and running again, some money in at last, my poor bank account is crying and starving. Almost all to do things have been done, just a small matter of essays and letters to write. I'd better go and make a start, or it will be another sleep barren night.

Sleep is so important! Hope you sleep well tonight. My publisher says she doesn't know how I sleep at nights (I write crime thrillers) but actually I sleep very well.

Thank you for your wishes, i'm beginning to sleep a little better. Crime thrillers sound fantastic, I will have a look for your books, are you having success? Sorry to be ignorant, but I don't read a huge amount of crime fiction. Best wishes.
