I was supposed to be back at work today but that didn't happen.
This insomnia is getting just ridiculous. Saturday night I got sick of the not sleeping so took the Really Evil Prescription Sleeping pills. Which failed to work, in that I still took hours to get to sleep and then didn't get the right stages of sleep in the right order. Plus I felt like a complete zombie all day yesterday, which was extremely unpleasant.
Last night I got to sleep eventually, only to wake up at 4:00 this morning. Tried really hard to get up when the alarm went off. When I eventually woke up at 9:30 I thought about going in to work for a while, but I still can barely walk and I've got a thumping headache that just won't go away.
I've read a couple neat books lately that I keep meaning to tell y'all about, but can't put sentences together to do them justice at the moment.
Anyway, it was really good to have actual people in our house yesterday! I was hoping that would give me the boost I needed to feel better. Oh well.
If I don't get out of the house & back to work soon, I'm going to lose my confidence and end up being clinically depressed rather than just pissed off and fed up.

Date: 2003-12-01 06:12 am (UTC)I've been meaning to give melatonin a proper try for sorting out my sleep patterns. Jarkman gave me a few tablets once to try and they did seem to help. I know my brain chemistry is messed up at the moment anyway (coming off happy pills).

Date: 2003-12-01 08:03 am (UTC)But it was lovely to see you again, and I shouldn't leave it so long the next time. Actually, given that every time I do visit you have yet again increased the number of furry bodies resident in the place I reckon if I leave it so long again I'm not actually going to be able to fit through the door!
