Smallest Smallholding on Hold

tortoise tom sleep

Not much going on at the Smallest Smallholding right now. I’m experiencing what I hope to be a temporary blip. I’ve had breathing problems when falling asleep (as in, I fail to take “in breaths”), and as you might imagine it’s playing havoc with my energy levels., as I can’t remember when I last got a solid, undisturbed night of sleep. It’s got so bad I feel guilty about disturbing Rich so I have taken to sleeping on the sofa so at least one of us can get a good nights kip.
My concentration is shot and work is a struggle at the moment, but I’m trying to do a bit of exercise during the day and get out there, whether it be a bit of weeding or more robust work. But other than that I really just don’t have the energy to do much more.

I’ve had this problem on and off for years. So I’m biting the bullet and going to the docs tomorrow. Let’s hope it resolves itself soon as I’m fed up with feeling perpetually stressed and knackered by it. The cats like to rub it in my face by lolling about all over the place contentedly dozing away without any problems. Lilla has found a tear in my thermal fleece which is covering the carrots - subsequently she’s taken to sleeping under the stretched fleece on the warm soil, squashing my carrot seedlings in the process.

    Hope it sorts itself out too, doesn’t sound nice at all. Any idea what’s causing it?
