Wii, have you tried Melatonin for sleeping? It helps you to relax and puts you to sleep? I take it once or twice a week when I have some tension and anxiety.
Well about the cottage thing, it'll be tough for sure but perhaps the kids can call and check in with you each night? And you can make plans to be with friends for the week? How about a party at your place? invite that girl that falls asleep after talking to you!
The thing is Wii, there will be lots of firsts for all of us and we just have to come up with ways to deal with them better and replace the old memories that haunt you with the new ones that you'll enjoy next year.
