There is something amazing about a good nights sleep.
We finished up last night somewhere around nine or ten. I’m immensely grateful to the part time helper/friend of the family who was willing to take over for us.
I really am too old and crabby to be up and working such long hours. We only worked from Friday night until Saturday night but because neither of us slept well/at all Thursday night it seemed much longer. (lack of sleep does weird things to ones sense of time)
I’m definitely grateful that we got to forward the phone calls to my cell and that I wasn’t stuck in someone else’s house the whole time. And that I got to ride along with Taylor, since I tend to worry if he’s out there on his own. (He gets SO aggravated with other drivers.)
And I’m greatful it’s over and done with. We made some cash, they got to enjoy the wedding and the dude who took over for us gets to make a little dough, too. Everyone wins.
The sleep I got last night was fantastic. I gobbled down an ambien just about as soon as we knew we were done and in for the night and was in bed before eleven.
I got woken up just as I started dozing but couldn’t complain cuz it was for some good sexing. And then, on top of the sex, Taylor took me to Taco Bell. Nothing like a good, one a.m., post sex Taco Bell run. Nachos never tasted so good.
By two I was out cold and I slept until almost eleven this morning.
I’m so SORE, though. Isn’t it weird how lack of sleep makes the body hurt like it’s done heavy labor or something? At least that’s how it works for me.
Today I’m going to go outside and weed a little and plant some impatiens and some zuchinni and a lone watermelon. The rest of my seedlings are still too small to put outside in this iffy weather we’ve been having.
Then I’m going to make some chicken and pasta with vodka sauce and gorge myself on it.
What are y’all doing today?

I drink a lot of coffee, ride a motorcycle, have an 18 year old son and a decade long relationship that began in a chat room.
I’m off to work on some crafting with old wooden doors once I consume enough coffee. (Didn’t get up until 11:30 here, but was up until 5:30 this morning waiting for b/f to ravage me lol–he fell asleep. Shoulda went to bed.)
Still have some plants to put in the ground as well–I hope our growing season is long this year–crazy weather here too (Indiana) I’m pretty sure the frost is over, but fighting rain for gardening time has been a problem.
Then laundry, dinner, grocery store, ahhh…yep, I’m a house mouse too. I didn’t know you could function after taking an Ambien–thought you were a zombie within a few minutes. lol.
Ambien is pretty nifty, depending on how it works for you as an individual. I’m lucky. It makes me a little goofy if I don’t go to sleep right away and will make my eyes do weird things – like see my computer screen as “fluttery” or make the text in a book sort of roll – but it doesn’t knock me out like most sleeping pills tend to do.
It just makes it so that when I DO lay down and close my eyes, I drift off easily and deeply instead of my mind not wanting to shut down and only dozing all night – which is what I do without it.
Some people have really, really bad effects from it, though, so it’s iffy.
Another thing I’m immensely grateful for. Lol. That ambien works well for me.
p.s. Sounds like a good Sunday to me, other than the grocery store. Meh. Grocery shopping stresses me OUT.
I am going to Walgreen’s to get more melatonin (last night, i didn’t have any and was wide awake till 5am!) and then off to the grocery store to pick up …whatever the hell I want to eat! :) It’s just me and Gunther for 2 weeks of alone time and I don’t have to think about anyone else and what or when they want to eat. Then I am going to walk around the house naked. All day. :)
Laurel’s last blog post..You have got to be fucking kidding me…
i loathe shopping, grocery or otherwise. Leaving the house to part with money (that I never have) stresses me out too.
And then, there are often STUPID people in mass quantities. People bumping into me/knocking me down (I walk with a cane–it’s kind of flippin’ OBVIOUS..but yet they ‘pretend’ to have not seen me.) AARRRRGGHHHH. Christmastime, you know, world peace, gratitude, happiness and good feelings and such? Even WORSE. I want to assault ‘stupid’ with my cane, but think I’m outnumbered. lol.
Another arrrghhh moment? Buying a cart load of groceries while the stock boy stares at the cashier’s boobs and ignores my existence as a customer. I have ‘accidentally’ dropped my cane and thunked it on a shin or two. Oooopsie. lol.
Sleeping pills sometimes affect me completely opposite than what they are supposed to do. I’ve stayed up 4 days lying in wait for sleep but to be tweaked out beyond belief. Now I just use an anti anxiety pill(s) and orgasms. lol. Or sheerly collapse after day 3 no sleep. Melatonin for me is kind of like taking an aspirin for a broken bone–can’t really tell one way or another.
Laurel–I miss walking about the house naked. I live in town now and have many windows. lol. Must buy better shades soon!
Slept in this morning and snuggled together for a long time since it was friggin’ FREEZING (for our area) and it’s still chilly-ish outside. Made a big breakfast (with bacon! YUM!) while listening to my favorite morning satellite music station, The Mansion of Fun with David Johnansen, watched a Nature show while eating breakfast, Dan is now editing Lucy and Jake’s wedding videos/pics since their 1 year anniversary is tomorrow and he wants to present it to them, I’m cooking my spaghetti sauce which I usually do every Sunday (we live off spaghetti for a couple of days after, lol) and generally I’m just hanging out, wishing the weekend would go on forever.
I don’t have problems with Ambien either although I don’t take it anymore.

morningstar’s last blog post..Impaled
Having read about Melatonin in Alaska magazine when they were discussing “seasonal afffective disorder” I started using it when I was working 12 hour shifts the last few years before I took their money and fled; it took 6 months to get over the exhaustion I think! I still use it when I need to flip my hours for some reason, though they are much more reasonable than they were while I was still at GM!
I may have to try that “run to the Border”…I’m usually happy with a glass of Quik!
May the kindness you did come back to you a thousandfold!
