Stress: remembering to do my sleep journal getting better with this. my sleep schedule causes stress between me & M.

Scott & I both need to get in and get checked out for sleep problems (husband thinks, from observation and research, that we both have non-24-hour circadian rhythm disorder) and we’ve got to keep Scott in school (how?!!!) long enough to be diagnosed. Mammegram was clear but doc was a recheck in May not thinking about this right now. I have Federal Jury Duty in May and I’m not looking forward to being in LA by 8 a.m. 25th anniversary this year and NO WHERE NEAR being able to fit in my wedding dress. (It looked good on Sam!)
