It's 3am. I'm still awake.
I'm feeling dopey and stupid and itchy and I hurt and even my meds aren't knocking me out tonight.

Blaa. :(

I hope you're all happily asleep having happy dreams.

1. I'm still awake
my lab stunk me out of the bedroom. I figured I would let it air out for a few minutes then head back in there.

I get kind of goofy when I'm doped up on meds, exhausted but still awake.

I'd even bring the popcorn. :9

8. Why?
It's late. I'm sure there are lots of good reasons why you need rest.




You're getting sleepy! Very sleepy! Your eyes are getting heavy! Very Heavy!




Did it work? :P

13. My dear ThomCat...
I'm still awake, sweetie...

I've had a fun-filled evening, and now I just need to decompress a bit...

I'm sorry you're not feeling well...

:hug:

15. Hi Peggy!
For some reason tonight is different from other nights. The pain fairies have decided I need to stay awake. Normally my meds knock me out and the pain fairies move into my dreams for 5-6 hours. Tonight they're being stuborn and insisting on staying out here.

:P

At some point exhaustion will kick in. Then I'll rest. And then all will be good. :)

20. Not a chance.
I started falling asleep around 8:30PM :shrug: so I went to bed around 9. That's all I remember until 2:30 when my hips decided to wake me.
I took another Lyrica but I can't seem to go back to sleep. x(

21. I hope that Lyrica settles in and you fall back to sleep.
:)

You have at least two more pleasant dreams due to you tonight. :P

24. Maybe I should hurry back to bed!

"two more pleasant dreams" is at least one more than I gotten in a long time. I've only started dreaming again since I started taking Lyrica a month ago.

:loveya:

17. I'm deliriously tired and just about destroyed now. I sat up late talking to my mother.
I made her a special dinner tonight for Mother's Day. All her favorites - salmon, scallops, cooked shrimp, her favorite veggie and the cheesy scalloped potatoes that she loves.

She stayed up late and talked my butt and legs off tonight. She's not a well person, mentally, but I'm glad I could give her some happiness tonight. Even though I have to hold my tongue and take some things with a grain of salt.

She just went to bed, and I am going to drop like a rock in a couple minutes.

*thud*

19. Mozel Tov.
You did a Mitzva, a Good Thing. :hug:

I'm sure this makes you both very happy, so it's worth being a little tired. And now you'll sleep very well. :)

23. "Girlfriend?"
:shrug:

That's an odd word to put in quotes. Is that a hopeful set of quotes? :)

25. Yes, it's a hopeful set :)
We've never met in person (obviously) so it's an online relationship only at the moment. We "may" meet in Hawaii for a seminar she's going to, but I haven't booked anything yet and may wait until she knows for sure if she can afford to go. I can and may help her out some if need be :)

27. I hope so too :)
Since I met my "past-wife" online, too, so there's that hope here as well :)

Okay, I am off to bed now because I'm going to see an early showing tomorrow morning of Iron Man with a good friend of mine. Should be great!
