Re: Newbie here.

Thanks DreamDiver!! That blue house is my funky and very old Gothic Bungalow that I live in. Definitely has character. Inhabited by me, Dear Hubby and four mostly-outside watch cats: Figaro and his three nephews Arabella, Tosca and Faust, collectively known as The Punklets. (we're actually dog peopl...

Re: Newbie here.

Thanks!! Dear Hubby is very understanding. He snores too, and I think he will go in for a sleep study next week.

Then I got a BA in biology (never worked in it--parents made me major in science), a court reporting degree, and ...

This saga started over forty years ago. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was eleven years old. I came home from school every day and slept for three hours. This also happened when I started working. I would come home from work and sleep for several hours. The current episode started on Goo...
