My daughter got a bit upset and angry, I was tired and ready to sleep, I almost snapped but I held it together and found a solution to her problem and from there on we all went to sleep. We slept a good while too. I woke at 4:30 to use the toilet and it was a beautiful clear sky absolutely full of beautiful stars. The last 2 times I slept out there I woke at 2:30 needing a pee and had a beautiful clear sky. Last night I stood there and took it all in for about 5 minutes. It was stunning just being there under the universe.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We have had a day out today and I&#8217;ve felt pretty good but I&#8217;m a bit tired and will need a sleep soon, my wife is having a snooze as I type this. I always try to snooze if I&#8217;m tired now, in the past I would of thought that I was being very lazy. Not any more. If I&#8217;m tired and can catch a little sleep I might stave off a mood shift. I did sleep well last night considering it was in the tent.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I bought 2 books from amazon the other day to help me and they arrived while we were out. I bought &#8216;overcoming anger and irritability&#8217; and &#8216;overcoming mood swings&#8217;. I&#8217;ve just started to have a look at the mood swings book but couldn&#8217;t concentrate properly so I&#8217;ve put it down for now. I&#8217;m looking forwards to learning more CBT techniques but I&#8217;m also aware that I&#8217;m reading at least 4 other books already! Two are old magical books or grimoires, one of which is over a thousand years old and the other is at least 600 years old. They&#8217;re &#8216;the picatrix&#8217; and &#8216;the sacred magic of Abra Melin the Mage &#8216;. The other books are &#8216;the golden thread of time &#8216; and a book on kindle about living with fibromyalgia, which my wife has, so that I can try to understand and help her a little.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m finding it hard to read just now so I out the book down but I fear it could be a change in my mood so I&#8217;ll nap shortly just to keep on top of things.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I slept in the tent last night with my children and it almost went pear shaped.
