I do some crochet before going to sleep. But I like the probiotic pill idea and the mask. I think that I will keep that in my nightstand. Thank you. Blessings for you and your family.

Oh my gosh, I see the copy of Timmy Failure on your nightstand. My boyfriend and I work as background actors and actually were in Disney’s production of it that was filmed in Portland, OR!

However, I’ve been staying busy baking and doing fun science experiment with my youngest, (been homeschooling for 18 years so we’ve got a rhythm). So, one thing on my nightstand is an old file box of recipes from my mom. I go through it a little bit each night to find the next day’s baking challenge.

I also took the plunge and subscribed to a quarterly box of goodies. My first box included a weighted sleep mask, the quality of my sleep has improved exponentially since I got that mask. Sometimes, I’ll spritz it with lavender, sometimes it’s lemongrass.

Next, I have a stack of books. I devour books daily, my appetite for reading is insatiable. Next to my bed and beside the nightstand is a cloth bin filled with even more books. Books have been one of the things that’s helped me manage my anxiety right now. The smell of the pages is enough to transport me out of my head.

Last, I have a pack of dog treats. We have 3 dogs so we have packs of treats and dog toys scattered everywhere. Also, occasionally, there might be a cat on my beside table, she likes to sit there and knock everything off then run to living room to sun herself, sigh.

We will all make it through this. Everyone is finding out what their strengths are, my wish is that these strengths will make us better people.
