I'm tired

I'm having sleep issues again. This sucks. My faithful readers might recall that last week I mentioned a few nights of minimal sleep. I hoped to catch up on sleep over the weekend, but the only night I slept well was Friday. Even then I didn't get enough sleep. I hate this.

I rarely wear aprons anymore (mine disappeared in the move out of 702 Lawrence), but I am enamored with the lace-up version of this pattern. Isn't that charming? I think it's bizarre that it's labeled the "Witch" apron. WTF? Looks more Moulin Rouge than witchy, but whatever. I think I might try to wing it and make one for myself. With pockets.

My eyes burn. I should have worn my glasses today, but I hate how glasses fog in the cold. Meh.

Poor dear! Have you tried any herbal sleep remedies? I know my sleep issues are menopausal; oh joy! But they're no fun regardless the cause.

I'm with you on the WTF over the 'witch' apron. But you've gotten me started thinking apron thoughts since I'm tired of ruining regular clothes with splatters from cooking. Heh - maybe we'll start a new trend, hey?

Think I'll whip out an apron idea myself. Post pics when you get done? *snerk* I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

Hugs!

I had a cup of the Yogi Bedtime Tea last night, which usually does the trick. I did fall asleep sometime after midnight, but woke up at 5:30. Yuck.

I've got too many holiday sewing projects going on right now, but maybe I'll have time for apron-making after the new year.

Yeah, I have other stuff I need to be working on right now, too...does that stop me? No... *eyeroll at self*

Maybe worth a trial of that Lunesta crap? It's 7 days for free, so at least you'd get ONE good night even if it didn't work for you.

I think the Pilgrim looks more like a witch apron, haha!
As for me, I think I need one for eating. I'm so guaranteed to drop something on every light-colored shirt I own.

I hate to resort to sleeping pills. I worry about being a total zombie the next day, as opposed to the current half zombie state. But at this point, I might have to!

Is it prescription, though? I'd pay $30 for that "free" prescription from my doc, thanks to my newly increased co-pay.

urgh. Yah, it's Rx. Unless you have the sort of doc relationship where you can call and have them call it in for you. There was a website mum pointed out to me for the free trial, offered by the manufacturer.

Supposedly it doesn't have the Zombie side effect. My dad testified to that...ambien cr made him almost drunkenly staggering the next day, but this didn't.

If it gets bad enough, I'll have to make an appointment. I don't have any sort of relationship at all with my current PCP. Bleh.

I'm gonna wait til I have to go in for something else, then ask Doc for some samples. He's pretty good about handing out the freebies if he has them.

Good idea. I wonder when my annual spread-and-scrape is due?
