Sleep is underrated

Sleep, how I love thee! Nothing beats a good nights sleep except for maybe more than one in a row. These days (since building a house??) I don't sleep through the entire night, I always seem to wake up, turn over and then usually I go back to sleep straight away but the nights that it doesn't happen or only happens once or twice are magical. I wake up in the morning feeling well rested and fantastic! I have now had two nights in a row of good sleep and I feel nice and relaxed and good today. I love it! The only thing I can put it down to is the nurofen+ I'm taking for my neck, it would be a shame though if that is the reason. Hopefully once I am in my house I will get back to having good night sleeps regularly again.

Speaking of my neck, it's still not great. It's better than it was, but it's not great. If I lie flat on my back and tilt my head to the left there is almost no pain, but once I am standing or sitting up and do the same thing, even with correct posture, it hurts and pulls :( I was hoping I would be able to cancel my physio appointment for this afternoon but it looks like I still need to go.

I got my tax refund yesterday! All $61.64 of it - still, it's better than owing them anything! I decided to buy some cookbooks with my tax refund mmm cooking! The whole time I've been building I've really been looking forward to my kitchen! I really LOVE cooking but I really HATE doing dishes but my house has a dishwasher and so look out I am going to be cooking up a storm! Also, the tripling of the bench space that I currently have will also be very welcome and inducive to cooking! The two cookbooks I bought are 2 of the new Country Womens Association cook books - Soups n Stews and Cakes! yummmm!! I liked their Soups n Stews one as it uses basic ingredients that you normally have in the house and are simple but yummy everyday food. I'm also really looking forward to trying the cake recipes - the CWA are famous for their cakes so they should all be rippers to make!!
