LM, I'm so pleased to hear that you had such a fabulous birthday week. What a kind and thoughtful daughter you have!
Hope you feel better soon, Diana.
Sorry to hear you are working under such pressure Pharma and have not managed to get a good sleep. Hope things go well tonight.
One of the elders at our Church gave the sermon a couple of weeks ago, I think it was, and during this he gave a personal story of having to take his elderly Mother to A & E recently (it turned out she had a broken arm). He said the waiting room was full and waiting time was meant to be about 6 hours but they ended up waiting for 11 hours!! He said his Mother was crying with pain and was offered some paracetamol by another patient.
I don't often sleep too good either but I did have a reasonably good sleep the other week after eating pumpkin seeds. We had some pumpkins at work for decoration and I cut these up and gave this to the cook to make soup. The soup was very nice. I found out by googling that you can also eat the seeds so I gave these to Cook as well.
Cook said, I don't think anyone will want these but you - they'll say it's bird seed. I said, you never know some people might be adventurous. Cook said, I doubt it. It turned out Cook was right and no one wanted this but me so it was put in a bag for me to take home.
Bus at the station was very late that evening and I got bored so I opened the bag and began chomping on the seeds. A bit chewy, but alright and apparently these are full of health benefit nutrition. I'm trying to eat more healthier now as I recently found out my cholesterol is up a bit. I'm afraid I did get a bit slack with things during covid but I am going to try to make a better effort now.
Anyway, according to the internet the seeds are also a natural sleep aid and I did get a quite a good sleep that night. So maybe it is true .. or perhaps I am just very suggestible.
