Por moi. Was a very restless night, and I am awake too early. I think I will want cinnamon in my coffee this morning.

Ugh, I had a bad patch of not sleeping well - stress and menopause. I cut out tea and coffee for a while, and drank iced water before going to sleep.
Sometimes if it's hot, leaving the window open at night helps too - that's how I make sure Piglet stays asleep, if it's chilly in the morning she is less likely to get up so I put the heating on half an hour before I get her up for school!
Here's a coffee with cinammon for you

TY pretty much exactly it - perimenopause I believe, and we were hoping for another child, so stress. Well, and thinking about someone got me going. 
Turned on the air conditioning and got to sleep.

mega stress! All my best hopes for you. Take lots of vitamin B6. Cutting out the caffeine really helped me. (That was a decaff coffee there of course
. Decaff is not really that bad. It was the tea I missed most.) Making sure the temperature is right at night is v. important too.

MIL is here for another three weeks. It's okay but I'm stressed, largely due to less-than-optimal sleep (which seems to be a theme judging by the last few posts). Think I'm going to look for an online caregiver support forum so I can vent. Sigh. It's not her fault. I'm annoyed at the situation in general, but not her.
PennGirl woke me up around 5am when she came into our bed. Finally got up at 7am since I wasn't getting back to sleep. Watching "My Neighbor Totoro" in an effort to relax. It's such a sweet movie.

Hello, old friend. We've gone our separate ways, for the most part, but I think of you often and with great fondness.

Clean it up before you leave. They can be messy.

I'm trying, really, I am, but I don't feel like I'm making progress in any direction.

We've all been there at one time or another, Mags.
And. . . Breathe
PS. What's with the cinnamon in the coffee ?

My mate & I were supposed to go to the Memorial Arboretum today.
But I guess his phone's broke, cos her didn't answer my call.
I'll have another go tomorrow.
So - what's with the cinnamon in the coffee please?

About an eighth of a teaspoon per cup?

I think he was more interested in why you would put cinnamon in coffee.
On another note: I like a steam bath as much as the next person but holy hell it's a mess outside.

Yes, you are right. Not so much "how much cinnamon in the coffee", but WHY ?
Do you mean that it's hot and humid ?
Not too comfortable, I think.

Um . . . because I like the taste of cinnamon, and I like it in coffee.
I remember my old Mum doing things with a Nutmeg "nut".
The smell would linger in the kitchen for days. . . .

Cinnamon and nutmeg, one of my favorite combinations, particularly in baked goods with apples.

only a little, me dear, please.
Apples, particularly Bramley cooking apples, benefit from a clove or two, I reckon.
And a few Raisins. . . .

Cinnamon is also good for clearing sugar out of the system.

We go for Northern Spy, though I'm not so much on cloves.
It does supposedly have a host of health benefits, I've seen it reduces hypertension.

Cinnamon is very good for reducing nausea and promoting appetite, as well.
If you know anyone in a position to test that theory, do please advise . . .
