I love yours, too. If you open a Wordpress account, which is free, you can upload whatever type of avatar you want. You don't even have to start a blog there ~ just make up some "fake" blog so you can create a profile and add your avatar. Palinode’s is super cute, isn’t it? I love yours, too.

Do you have to be on WordPress to get one of your own choosing? That’s cute, but I like Palinode’s, which reminds me of a green kiwi.

It's really small. I only fit in it about halfway. Sigh. So the calming bath experience is not mine to be had, unless we remodel or move to a new house. The quilty-thing is some automatically generated thingamabob the Wordpress folks came up with. I also have the option of choosing monsters. I will switch it to that option and we can see what monster it assigns to you. Catherine, my bathtub sucks. It’s really small. I only fit in it about halfway. Sigh.

If you ever feel like changing it, I'd like to be some sort of funky chicken :) Hey, how did I get that little quilty thing by my name? did you make those for your regular visitors?

But then, I tend not to be afraid of things much (OK, I am afraid of things like making a fool of myself, or having people not like me, but I don't worry about spiders, being mugged while walking alone at night, drowning in the bath or any of those sorts of things. I realise that your insomnia is quite deep seated, and I didn't think hot baths would be the whole answer. If your insomnia is really bad, it might give you a little relaxation, which is better than none. It helped me through a couple of nights when I was out of my mind with worry over someone close to me. The only alternative was pacing the floor, which wasn't very appealing. I also sometimes soak in a hot bath if I wake in the morning with sinus pain. I take a couple of tablets for it, then soak in the bath for an hour or two and hope the pain eases off while I'm relaxing. Hope you have more of those good days really soon.

Unfortunately my insomnia has been more difficult to treat than with any relaxation or sleep hygiene measures. I still do those things, but they don't seem to be helping. The problem is pain and discomfort. I've been having those issues for some time now, and it makes sleep elusive. I felt a lot better two days ago for some reason, and I slept great. But last night capped off a day of pretty intense discomfort, and it was difficult to sleep. I woke up again today with a migraine, so I don't hold out much hope for sleeping well tonight ~ or for having a good day today. Aren't you ever afraid you will fall asleep and drown in the bath? I guess that's more of a problem for children than for adults. I dated a guy once who drank wine in the bath ~ stayed in there for hours until he was good and drunk. It pissed off his roommates, understandably. That is a good idea, Catherine. Unfortunately my insomnia has been more difficult to treat than with any relaxation or sleep hygiene measures.

You can soak and doze in the hot bath and if you don't sleep, then you associate it with the bath and not the bed. I guess you should probably check that with your therapist or whoever before you try it out, but it seems like a good possibility to me. If I can’t sleep, then I sometimes run a hot bath.
