No it didn't. My sleep doc says so. Because it's an anti-headache drug.

The doc looked it up at the time. There is a 1% that it happens to. I was the 1%.

Hah! I learned that my friend neighbors' code for "entertaining a boy, call later" is black camel.

I have no idea how they work it into conversation.

It was a total smart-ass thing. I was a newbie, at a party, and I asked The Boy if he wanted to play. (It suddenly occurs to me that "TMI" is just "Tim" with the letters moved around. Ha!) And because he was being all careful and shit, since I was a newbie, he asked, "You know what to say if you want things to stop, right?"

And I said, "Sure. Rutabega!"

And he said, "I was going to say 'red,' but, okay, we'll go with that!"

I said, "Well, I was just joking..."

And he said, "Nope -- you said it, you're using it!"

Perils of being a smart-ass.

t embraces her ability to be asleep within 5 minutes and to stay asleep except for occasional bladder issues, and pets that ability and calls it George

I know many of the sleepy people have had sleep tests, but have any of you tried sleeping under a CPAP? I sleep even better since getting mine, and it didn't take long to get used to mine.

The doc looked it up at the time.

The doc didn't look at the documentation they sent out with the meds, which warn that it might cause headaches. So I could rest assured that the massive headache I woke up with the next day was completely unrelated. I'm sure she'll be pissed I went to the ER for it, but she can bite any part of my ass she pleases.

I am taking Temazepam, which seems to working, sleepwise, with the added bonus that I am not doing stuff I can't remember while under the influence, the way I did with Ambien. That freaked the DH right out and he stopped wanting to talk to me at night--and late night talking in bed is one of the quiet joys of shacking up, IMO. I do have to take it an hour or more before bed, though as it takes a while to kick in.

I am also experimenting with having a glass of wine with dinner every night. I like it and I know it's healthy, but it makes me feel loopy. Like, seriously loopy.

I kinda hate this doc. I kinda wish you had your own personal patient advocate.

Kitties want a blanket too!

Aw, Patrick Wilson just sang "God Bless America" during the playoff game, and it wasn't bad. He even sang the first verse!

Lately, MK has been sleeping under the duvet, and at one point, Loki climbed into it. Fun extracting him. Oh, and he's been nesting under the sheet I have over the spare to burrow into the clean sheets, blankets and pillows. Sigh. Ain't that cold, but MK is extra fluffy and inclined to curl up on my lap when I'm drying my hair.

Devi, otoh, is a toughass. She'll curl up with me when she feels like it, but makes do with her fireplace throne.
