not sleeping

I have not been sleeping well.  The hours between 3 and 5 AM are the hardest for me to sleep currently and I do not know why.  I have a thought it is when my body is most uncomfortable in bed.  If I can shift it to 1 to 3 AM, I do feel more rested the next day.  Not today though.

Many times, when I wake I move to my rocking chair.  I pick up some crocheting and work on it until I feel like sleep may be a possibility.  Sleep may not happen but it does mean I have just not laid there for hours.  And work has gotten done.  This time of year it is normally a present.  Actually, that can be year round.

I keep thinking I should pick up some hand sewing but I am not sure I am that coordinated in the middle of the night.  A crochet hook is a much better option.  I have had to take out a few mistakes.  It is a bit frustrating but it is what it is.  

This gift is down to the last skein.  I will take a picture of it soon and then it will be sent off.  It is really not a Christmas present but it is a request from my Dad.  My Mom has her own chair now too.  I can see me being requested to make something similar for her.  It just takes time.
