lack of sleep

My house is still very quiet. It is the first time that my husband and I have been alone. Everyone has to adjust to that at one time or another, I know. But I have two things to adjust to now.

I have found it quite difficult to change speeds. For the past year and a half, I have been in constant motion between working and caring for my dad. While it was happening, I just kept on going and accomplished quite a bit, although neglecting quite a bit too. Now, I just can't find a happy medium between that high gear and low gear. Or maybe I should say between high gear and stop. It has been getting a little easier at times, but there have been those days when I have to force myself to go to work. I am literally kicking myself out the door! I just want to sit. Maybe sleep, but that's not the best because then I can't sleep at night. I have been living on 2-3 hours of sleep a night, and I know that is NOT good. So with a little help from my friend, and now my doctor, I know I will be able to get a better night's sleep. Which may help. I hope.
