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....

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.
