Susan, I find that things like exercise or a shower right before bed tend to wake me up again. The latest I can manage a concerted exercise plan (not counting the usually seasonal evening gardening stuff as "exercise") is a walk after dinner, or exercise mid-evening, maybe while watching a prime-time program. Are you sure exercise at bedtime is going to let you get to sleep as early as you want?
I didn't get as much done this weekend as I'd hoped. Ancient history came back for a quick reminder of extended family issues, though a lot of good came out of the conversations held on several fronts. It is an eye-opener to see how your nervous system steps up to bat when the cortisol or whatever pumps. I was under this kind of pressure for 2 years back in the late 1990s, and the only reason I mention this here is because I am still firmly convinced it was a major factor in my cancer. I've set aside that toxic relationship, and have been healthier for it.
The weekend ended on a great up note. Moonglow and her boyfriend came for dinner. Since I had two more mouths than I had originally planned for when defrosting chicken breasts, I made a pan of rice, pulled medium-sized cooked shrimp from the freezer, chopped up my remaining carrots, celery, and green onions (I really did de-clutter the veggie bin!) and made fried rice. It works well here, because picky eaters can leave the bits they don't want in the pan or offer it to others at the table. We might embarrass ourselves eating like this in public, but it works here. Son doesn't like shrimp, tossed them to his sister's plate. . . I wasn't quite finished at the stove when the rice was ready so I mixed the Dutch Baby batter for dessert (and made strawberry syrup to go over it) while the kids ate and talked and laughed amongst themselves. Ex came over to deliver some stuff to Moonglow and we all sat around talking and laughing. This needs to be the focus, not the ancient history.
