Sleep @ MindSay

Ok, just a quick post to vent a lil angst.

I have no problem with people who buy fireworks for the fourth of July celebrations. I even have no real problem with people who light them on the 3rd or before.

I do, however, have a very strong problem and frustration with the all the idiots who decide to keep their loud, booming, screaching, whirring fireworks a day or so more n light them after the 4th! I heard bangs and pops and whistles from about 10 pm last night, til around 2. So, didn't get much good sleep, and now I feel all lethargic.

That is all.

I figure I should write something so that my overly dramatic blog isn't the top one on the list. :)

 

Well, today isn't too exciting thus far. Nice, cool and rainy. I slept in way too late this morning. Then again I didn't go to bed till 4:30ish so I think I deserved to sleep till noon. Now I'm trying to refresh my Spanish so that I can visit my high school teacher. I don't know what I'm going to do if they can't get me into a Spanish class first semester. I'm going to a tiny school and yet some how my schedule is completely fucked. Oh well, I'm tired of thinking about my stupid college decisions. I'll just have to study a lot on my own I guess...

 

I've been on this quest to learn to meditate, which I'm not sure is one of those things you actually learn so much as just develope your own style. I've just been sitting in my living room (in the basement where it's cool), listening to music, and trying to listen to my breathing. I enjoy doing it because eventually get to the point where I just think without conciously forcing the topics on to my mind. My goal has been to meditate for half an hour a day, but I usually end up getting to cold and have to find a blanket or I cry (yes that is how dramatic I am, sorry). Too much free thought leads me to be super emotional for some reason.

 

Okay, its time for me to cram on Spanish verb endings; enough random rambling here for now.

Found a really informative page about Melatonin tonight: http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/melatonin-000315.htm

So for the first time in a while I had a really bad insomnia attack last night. I woke up yesterday at about 3pm. I got a little depressed around midnight, drank a whiskey sour, still couldn't sleep. The usual 3mg dose of melatonin wasn't cutting it but I didn't want to take anymore. I finally fell asleep at 1pm this afternoon and slept until almost 8pm.

I'm thinking of starting a new blog just for DSPS and melatonin related information.

Good night, and good luck (sleeping, that is!)

I leave tomorrow. I have to take the train at 7am to the Nuremberg Train station and then from there I have to take the Subway all the way to the Airport. Hopefully I can manage all my luggage by myself. I've got two huge suitcases filled, a red duffel bag, and then my laptop case with laptop and books. That's a lot for one person, too much in fact.

I'm really nervous, because I know that even though I'm going home, I'm still not comfortable. There's going to be so much explaining and crying and anger and just all sorts of things that I don't want to deal with. Basically why I kept all this to myself for 12 years.

Well I'm off to bed. I have to get up really early. My tandem partner's picking me up at 6:30 then taking me to the train station. Good night.

Yesterday night I got no sleep at all, Rose kept waking up and wanting to be held, or needed an hourly diaper change...I'm surprised I survived, but today I slept about six hours during the day, during which Rose was sound asleep, ugh.

I hope she gets her days and nights back to normal, I really like to sleep at night ...:)

How is everybody else?  Getting more sleep than myself I hope :)
