Sorry for inducing the tears @Zoe7. But as we are all learning - sometimes shedding a few tears can be due to happiness or relief and can be therapeutic.
Naughty Cat. I bet poor old mummy ended up eating baked beans on toast or something equally boring. And they get to dine gourmet style for the next few days.
A dog that doesn't shed hair. What breed? Only one I can think of are those chinese crested dogs & I feel sick just looking at them. (Sorry to those who love the breed).
I'm just defrosting some mince and might just make a basic spaghetti for dinner. Really need to do some shopping. No vegies in the house.
It does sound like small improvements are happening for you. Extra sleep. A day or two without the nightmares. I hope it continues to improve - until the nightmares are a very rare occurance and your sleep pattern settles into a normal one. It does sound like it is heading in that direction.
Keep focusing on those good moments. They can help sustain us in the harder times.
