brenda is me! I used to have terrible insomnia but thank DOG melatonin does the trick for me. I do not know how I'd cope.
Nice acronym, Mom!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay for excellent surgery outcome, Perkins!
Erin, yay for a sensible and helpful doctor! If you feel like it, you should tell that other doctor exactly why you won't be seeing her anymore.
smonster, yay for job offer! Do you need me to start calling you in the mornings again? I apologize for falling out of the habit.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Because of all of the drama about Christine O'Donnell and her "witchcraft" past, ParentDish from AOL interviewed a "witch mom" (their term, not mine) and when asked about O'Donnell, she said"
I don't want to claim Christine O'Donnell. It's kind of like when Sen. Larry Craig was caught in that airport bathroom. No gay person wanted to claim him, either.
I was amused. And on that note, am headed home.

Heh. I totally don't get insomnia because I have the opposite problem--I can't get ENOUGH sleep. I am ALWAYS ready for a nap (though naps don't work because I end up thinking "or I could just sleep til morning!"), and pretty much always able to sleep. (Especially "sleep longer", I'm not as bad about staying up, though occasionally....).
Only rarely am I unable to sleep (like, night before a big event or something, when I"m all jazzed up). But I can't imagine. Ick.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I was once, basically, awake for a month.
Actually, I got 2-4 hours of shitty sleep a night which was sufficient to sustain life but not sanity. Cass was nothing short of a saint until I got to the doctor. I've never been that bad since and I won't be without an Ambien stash ever ever ever ever ever ever ever again.
Once, on a road trip, I took a friend's Ativan which knocked me out nicely. It makes sense that anxiety is a big component of my insomnia. Once I have health insurance again I intend to discuss this with my doc.

Woman! Have you done a sleep study? It's possible the sleep you're getting at night is shite.
Wonderful news, Perkins. Wonderful. Oh what a relief that must be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am as one with meara on the sleeping. I can always sleep. I probably need to sleep less. When I'm anxious about something, my usual way of dealing is to hide from it by falling asleep. I once fell asleep while my boyfriend was yelling at me. Pack for the nerve-racking trip tomorrow or fall asleep? ZZZZZ

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Congrats, smonster!!
A bit of good news for me today. A friend is creating a new webseries. She happens to think my album would work well as music in places and asked me if I would allow her to use it. I said yes, of course. I figured that'd be the end of it until the series actually launches whichwill probably be a couple months from now but she's just announced that my music will be used. Given that trying to plug my album has been a really uphill battle, it's super-nice to see it get plugged. She has far more followers than I do.
