NOTE TO SELF......

....STOP drinking coffee after 4 pm.....

I've been home for 3-1/2 hours, in bed for almost 3 hours.  Slept about 1/2 hour, and am apparently awake for the day.  At 3:10 am, Eastern time. 

I NEVER have trouble sleeping.   'Cept when I drink too much coffee.  Didn't drink too much, just drank a cup at 8pm, because I was still at work, and someone made it, and it smelled soooooo good.

If I wasn't leery of sleeping pills, and had one in the house,  I'd actually take it.  Guess I'll open up the new Janet Evanovich book and settle in for a long night.

Hope everyone is sleeping the sleep of the innocent....

Candy,

I hope today isn't one of your 12 hour shifts? We all seem to have sleep problems in one form or another. Bummer.
Kisses

I'm waiting for the doctors office to open at 8 AM. They are going to call and  make room for me now. Small bowels are not good. You can call now. I have 2 hours to wait.

Oh, Candy, I can so relate.

I take sleeping pills every night, but Old Dog gets one of us up every morning around 4:00. Maybe I should give him the sleeping pill?

Hope you enjoy your book, maybe there's a nap in your near future??

Well, I dug around the house and managed to find a Benadryl, took it at 4 or so, and get to sleep sometime after 5.  Thank goodness today wasn't one of my 16 hour days.  Slept till about 11, and I think I'm good for the day.  My plans for today had already been cancelled yesterday, so I don't have to be anywhere today.  I think a day on the deck with Stephanie Plum looms in my immediate future.

Yes, Ranger is a dish.  They make Morelli out to be a bad boy, too, but that Ranger gets the juices flowing.  With Morelli, you get what you see, but Ranger....Whew!!!  I've always been a sucker for the bad boys, though, so I imagine I'd never throw either one of them back if I could ever catch one...

Yes, Linda, coffee is my downfall.  I drink a lot of it, but am usually smart enough to stop late in the afternoon.  These double shifts wring me out, though, and sometimes I have a lapse in judgement that affects my sleep.  I usually sleep like a rock, so nights like last night don't happen too often.

Part of the problem, I'm sure, is the fact that I made an appointment yesterday for an interview for a new job.  Still nursing, still with the State, but a new location.  If I get it and like it, my decisions about retirement will probably be affected.  That'll be on my mind till next week when I see what happens.  I'm not sure I want to make the change, but where I am is getting pretty much intolerable, and I don't know if I want to pass up the opportunity.

Annette, you're in my thoughts. 

Candy
