Monday 15th June 2009 Part one.

I can't believe it's a whole month since I posted here. I have really enjoyed reading Hollys blog and catching up. It's a lot more fun when read all together like that, more like a story. When I have only one or two to read I feel unsatisfied and come away feeling like I want to know more, lol. I hope she is feeling better as there was no mention of her fever or lack of I will worry until I know for sure she is better.

I'm sorry to read that you are having trouble sleeping honey, seems like you are doing all the right things to correct it though like checking out stuff on Google and such. I hope that you are able to get into a better routine soon. I like your idea of getting to bed 10 minutes earlier each day. I have no advice or anything I can say to help, I wish I did. I hope you haven't got Hollys fever too. The treatments sound do-able though, I especially liked the cannabis solution, hehe.


'Cannabis has been suggested as an aid to combat DSPS. However, no research has yet been done that shows cannabis works in DSPS. Sleep onset is affected by the two primary cannabinoids. THC, Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, dramatically increased melatonin production in some subjects in a small study in 1986 where the authors state that "These preliminary results are difficult to interpret". An older study showed that CBD, cannabidiol, was effective in helping insomniacs sleep. Heavy cannabis use can lead to decreased levels of REM sleep and increased levels of slow-wave sleep along with reduced mental function the next morning. However, 5 mg doses of THC and CBD have been shown not to have these effects.'


I am totally unprepared for writing this blog so I will have to come back later and write it. I haven't been through my photos or even taken some off my phone yet! It simply will not do, lol. I will check through Facebook to see what I did and when and then be back later xx

Thanks for the post! Holly is better.. She is finishing up her 10 days of Antibiotics and still a little off, needs a little more sleep/rest and is a bit fussier then usual, but I also think she is getting in some new teeth as well.

Do you know how you did on your exams and classes yet? When do you find out? When does school start back up?

Sorry I haven't been around to read this reply, I'm a bad friend. My exams went ok but not great as I was supposed to have a room to myself, it was nightmare to find the rooms, there were loads of people, I wasn't on the list for some and got singled out and well it went badly lol. Overall I passed everything except Maths, Stats and Chemistry 2. As I had an extenuating circumstances form covering me I decided rather than go back as a part-time student just doing Maths, Stats and Chemistry for only the last term that I will retake the whole year again so that I am not bored out of my brain. I would have no classes to look forward to as Biology is the only one I really enjoy. I start back again on Monday. My neighbour kindly now lets me use her wireless internet so I'm back!! Oh and of course when I'm at Uni I have their wireless network too but I'm not going to fail this year so I will not be around too much, I hope to be working harder than last time!
