After a month of sleeping better than I have for years, I've had about a week of sleeping poorly again.

I have a worried mind. I worry alot about my sister-in-law, and how we're going to move her up here from Brooklyn, and how she's going to manage when she gets here.

She's going to be my neighbor and I worry about the responsibility I feel because of that.

I worry about the money needed to make that happen.

I worry about the logistics, who will do the work, what vehicle will be needed and accessible.

I do this worrying after waking up when I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Then, although tired, I can't go back to sleep.

This is a familiar problem, but the worry is a new twist.

I certainly know what my worrying is worth - nothing. But still, it is present, and I'm not letting go with my usual ease. I think the lack of sleep has a lot to do with my recent uptick in weight.

But I don't know. I trust things will work out - they always seem to.

I'm grateful for hope and optimism.
