3 Too Many

“You are never too old to set another goal or too dream a new dream” – CS Lewis.

Getting sleep again , Yay!! Not lots but enough to start making me notice a difference during the day. So last night I think I managed 4 hours in total which isn’t great by any means, but better than the 1-2 that I was getting. Pain giving me hell tonight, so spend a lot of time walking around and sitting on the edge of it. Not fun in anyway. Trying to stop picking up the tablet in the middle off the night to as it is a bad habit that is helping to rob me of sleep ultimately.

Even though we are heading back to Christchurch today, I let everyone sleep in as we are still on holiday and seen as it is only 7am and don’t need to be anywhere early. Shuffle around the place, make some breakfast and read the news. Relaxing morning had, bags and car packed and checkout completed. Head off to the Fafitas then one last time for a coffee. Well I try to stay awake , sorry guys don’t really do that too well. There is a growing hatred for these subtle changes happening everyday. –

Set off for home about 11am, Jacob is co driver as I keep falling asleep, Lachlan and I get to hang out in the back seat. Between the bumpy roads, Sues driving and the wheels needing aligned I manage to bang my head twice on the window. Not happy. Stop at Maruia springs thermal pools, very hot, a good break in the trip. Have a bite to eat and then load back into the car and head for home. All three of us boys are asleep with ten minutes, so none of us are useful co-drivers. Lachlan wakes me just as we get home. Unload the car – great to be home, washing done and on the line, lazy f and c for tea. Kids to bed… day done. I have fallen into a deep sleep next to Sue on the sofa … so she has finished my blog

(She thinks we should get a spa to aid my sleep if this is what I’m like after an hour at the thermal pools!)
