I can't sleep
My husband is off at his parents begging for money so we can afford a nice new comfortable mattress. I've had a lot of anxiety lately. I would smoke some pot, but I don't know if I'll get the job and if it requires a post offer drug test and I have been abstaining from it for three weeks because of that. I have to go to work in three and a half hours. I'll probably be so tired at work. This sucks.
This post seems pretty choppy. Oh great, I'll mess everything up at work too.

1. I can't sleep either
and I am smoking as I type this as well but it isn't helping. Looks like I am going to be up all night and through the day as well because I have stuff to do tomorrow.

2. Nikia....
don't stress out over it. It just makes it even harder to sleep.

If you don't get to sleep, you can function for a day at work. Worrying about it will just make it all worse.

If you can't sleep, try to just lay down and rest for awhile. If it's real bad in the morning, call in sick.

6. I can't sleep either
I had a cup of decaf coffee at 9:30 p.m. I am not used to drinking any caffeine, and the decaf had just enough to put me over the edge. I was supposed to go to a meeting at 9 a.m. today. I don't think I am going to make it.

7. I haven't been sleeping either
for about the past 2 weeks. Thank God it's our spring break...maybe there's some kind of insomnia epidemic going around...
