My superpower? Drug resistance.

Yo, guys. This sucks. I took one Restoril last night to sleep, and it did nothing. This is the 30mg dose, mind you, which is apparently the highest dose they make, and absolutely nothing. The pharmacist and doctor both even warned me that it was a really high dose and I should immediately get in bed when taking it. I took it at 8:30 or 9pm, sometime around there, and then we laid in bed for a while and then turned the lights off and absolutely nothing. The last time I remember looking at the clock it was 3am, and we had to get up at 7:30. I have no hangover feeling today, no side effects at all. It's like I never took the drug.

What. The. Hell.

WHYYYYY? I am displeased. This was supposed to be a Super Sleepy Time Cannon Drug for me, and nothing! I didn't want to take anything else, just in case it proved to have some weird interaction with my system and I accidentally murdered myself or projectile vomited or something, so I had a horrid night. I finally got some sleep after 3am, but it was all broken and terrible, and then we got up. UGH.

I am going to try it one more time tonight, and if it doesn't work tonight then I'm going back to my wonderful mixture of Ambien and NyQuil. At least that works sometimes.

Also, there was a burning bus on the I-5 express lanes this morning (that site is where I found these pictures), so traffic was an absolute nightmare. And the server at work is being fixed, so I can't really do anything useful. I should've just stayed home.

All the white stuff is fire-retardant foam, NOT snow.
Exciting!
I want a cupcake. Or a pumpkin spice latte. Or chocolate. SOMETHING.

WAAAH!

I will get over my complainy-ness soon, but right now I am unhappy and the world must know!

Oh no, darling! That is horrible news! I'm so sorry that your pill did not work as it said it would! I've had a similar experience to yours with a medication called Trazidone(spelling?). Everyone said that this medication was supposed to be like the instant knockout drug and it did absolutely nothing for me! I took like 10 pills one night not even caring if I fucking OD'd and still I did not sleep! I hope the second time is a charm for you, darling, and your pill works tonight, though! That would be lovely! <3

Very cool pictures of the burning bus, darling! Thanks for sharing! Although, I am sorry that it caused you traffic headaches! Ugh, I hope you get your sugary treats so you can at least get something pleasant out of this shitty day! I'm pulling for you, darling! A lovely evening for you! <3 <3 <3 *

Aw, poor girl. Here's hoping your weekend is an improvement. I'd go to Starbucks with you if I was around.

I once took 12 melatonin (since I was pretty sure it wouldn't kill me, being a hormone, and I was kind of desperate), and NOTHING. Sigh. I emailed the doctor about my issue, so we'll see if he actually writes me back.

I miss you. Why must you live in Wyoming?! :p I never have anyone to go to drinks with now. But that might be my own fault. I am sort of antisocial. I hope your weather warms up a bit. I saw the report for Laramie on my phone and just looking at those numbers made me shiver! Brrrrr...

It would be great to have a resistance to some drugs, but NOT to a sleep aid. That sucks! Are we still on for tomorrow? I haven't seen a current weather forecast, but I'm game if you are. xoxo

We absolutely are on. I am going to get up at 9:30 and leave by 10:30. I'm leaving so early so I can drop by and pick up the flowers first. If for some reason the weather absolutely goes to hell, I will call you before 10.

You let the world know, girl! I'm always here via blog/email/text and hope I can be as good a listener for you as you are for me. I really hope you get some precious sleep hours in the nights to come- I too am completely miserable without a standard base amount. Loves.
