I just woke up from sleeping 18 hours out of the last 24.
I just took my evening meds, so they're going to knock me out again, and I'll sleep another 4-8 hours again. You would think with all that sleep I would have gotten a bit of rest, but I'm still exhausted. It's like I never reach deep sleep.

:wtf:

I haven't eaten anything in over 24 hours but for some reason I'm not hungry. I know I shouldn't be taking meds on an empty stomach, but it's too late to order any take-out. So I hope taking my meds with a large glass of soymilk will be enough. That's all I have in the house.

My cats have both been curled up next to me in bed the whole time as near as I can tell, one on either side. Millie isn't even hiding under the bed while Silver is in the room. She's not leaving her spot. Even when I get up, she stays there waiting because she knows I'm coming back, and she has a prime spot right under my arm.
:loveya:

There are nights I get no sleep at all, and then days like this. The only common denominator is that I'm always exhausted no matter what I do. I swear that this rollercoaster ride the meds put me on is almost as bad as the pains they're supposed to help alleviate. Fuck me! x(

Oh well. I'm awake for a little while. :)

1. I'm so glad you have your cats.
I wish I was there to tend to you, honey. So sorry that this is a rollercoaster ride, but you do need rest now. I wish I could cuddle up with you. Too bad you only like the fellas... ;)

:hug: :hug:

3. You're always welcome to come over
and hang out. If I had an extra pain of hands I could whip up some food. :)

:hug:

5. Thank you, I'd love to come over.
It's just that you are so far away and I'm not good with traveling long distances. NYC seems so far away from Baltimore. :(

Let me just hug now dear friend, I wish I could be there and bring over my Buffy DVDs.

6. Is your shingle out while you're awake?
I got a thing behind my ear that needs to be lanced. :D

7. That's your brain. You need it.
I'm not supposed to remove that while you're still alive. :P

9. Good Night. Back to bed now.
:hi:

Meds are kicking in, and I can't keep my eyes open, so I'm going back to bed. :)

Talk to you all tomorrow.

10. Hey sweetie . . .
I can relate about not feeling rested. A few months ago I tried to get a *good night's sleep* and wound up getting myself into trouble.
Be careful with your meds, please.


Hugs & Best Wishes . . . .
