Day 13

Day 13

Last night was a pretty big fail. I was unproductive, unmotivated, and uninterested. And there just weren’t enough episodes of Criminal Minds on tv. I decided I’d take my L and C at 10p. Then I’d fall gently to sleep on the couch and awake refreshed with all the possibilities of a new day in front of me.

But I couldn’t fall asleep. At all. Then my left leg started flipping out. It was like 2 legs worth of restless leg syndrome climbed into my left leg and wouldn’t let go. I was pretty upset. I started thinking of taking one of the P and that when the confusion came to peak.

I take one L a day at the same time each night 10:30. Got it.

I thought I was to take one C at the same time for relaxing sleep. Actually the instructions said ½ to 1 when needed for sleep. Hmm… I had never taken a half.

I also had a prescription for P. The instructions were identical to C but I’d never taken one.

I wasn’t sure if I could mix them and not die so I struggled with the online walgreens pharmacy chat until I got the answer. I would live.

By this point it’s 1:20a. I ended up getting to sleep within a half hour.

This morning I wake up at 7 because I hear K downstairs. I quickly get up so he doesn’t have to climb that extra set of stairs. I think I get a drink and brush my teeth so I can kiss and then I end up in bed. All of the memories of that half hour are kind of hazy and I don’t actually remember saying anything to K. I just nestled myself in and went back to sleep. I think I finally dragged myself out at 9a and made it to work by 10a.

It’s 12:30 now and I’m cramming granola bars into my mouth to try to satisfy the sweet tooth I’ve had recently. Other than that I feel like a zombie and I can’t wait to go home. I’m figuring out a way to leave early. I’m also having hot flashes.
