I'M BA-A-A-CK...

So, I missed a couple of days sharing some of my thoughts. Two days in a row of pretty much sleepless nights! I can safely say that the natural pill containing valerian root extract, melatonin and tryptophan DID NOT WORK!! What to do? What to do? Not only do I not want to continue with the prescription med, because I just don't want any more meds in me than necessary, and this particular one is known to put weight on (must slow metabalism), and I put on a couple of pounds I'm fighting to get off. I think already after two days, I feel the difference. Also, the longer you're on a sleep aid, the less it works .. may have to just use something else a couple of nights a week to get some recuperative sleep. Had an old "standby" med around for years, Restoril, it helped but then needed increased dosage. Hoping if I use it minimally, I won't get resistant to it!

Spent most of the day online yesterday, enrolling in my husbands health plan from work. What a job! However, thankful for a good set up, and our portion of the premiums for health, dental, and vision is doable. Not feeling too clever today....really tired...thinking of skipping the pool, and you know how much I love swimming....
