So, THIS is insomnia.

:-) 2:31am, and I'm not tired in the least...and yes, I've been lying in bed, trying to sleep, for the last 2 and a half hours.

Took Tylenol PM a while ago...didn't want to "waste" the Lunesta samples I was given, if this was just going to be a "Oh, TPM will help kickstart me into sleeping", and Lunesta says it needs at least 6 hours of sleep...

Yeah, probably should have taken it right at 1:00, but I really didn't think the brain would still be whirring this late...and, it's not like I've been dwelling on deep topics..it's been more of a "duh......." in the brain.

Fuck...no vacation time to burn (Already turned in the report to cash it out), do have sick time, but I'm already burning 4 hours of that to go to the Dentist on Tuesday while I still have dental, and finally get the hole in my tooth fixed. And really, I shouldn't be gone from the office more time than necessary for the dentists, or any interviews that pop up last minute...which, if it's anything like the last two weeks, I'll get one or two interviews "last minute".

So what do I do? Come and babble on LJ...that worked, months ago, when I had a nightmare that I couldn't fall back asleep from...hopefully, it'll help here too. :-)

Helluva start. :-P

:-)

3:03...still awake. Still not tired...no, I don't quite feel like a cranky 5 year old, screaming to mom and dad that "I'm Not TIRED", and yet yawning at the same time..I've yet to yawn...tho, I do feel a slight heaviness to the eyelids...TPM must be kicking in.

Night (I hope).

Still....

Still up. At what point do you give up sleeping until the next evening?

Just started looking for the old SNES Power adapter, and converter for TV, and have given it up just as quickly as futile...don't want to clean the Apt. more...so, do I just go lie in bed, trying to shut the brain completely off?

Am past the point of htinking that Ambien or Lunesta or any pill would have helped me get sleep tonite...for some reason, body and brain don't want to shut off to allow it.

Wondering if this is my brain's way of trying to trick itself, but don't think so...then again, how would I know?

*sigh* At this point, the MOST sleep I could hope for would be 3 hours. I've gone on less before, but that was a REALLY bad day...worked for NOble Roman's at the time, and managed more stupid injuries that day than any other...scraped my fingers pushing a dough cart through a door, burnt my hand and arm on the oven, twice...tripped many times...

Eyes are droopy, but the last 50 minutes I spent in bed haven't done a damn thing. ARGH!

May as well try to go back for more..and must remember to ask my Sister if she remembers seeing the SNES power adapter...Super Mario World would be a good way to blow some brain cells and time.

Hmmm...quick capsule reviews of movies I watched yesterday.

Punisher - Good action flick...kid from Six Feet Under played a similar role, angsty teen type, and Thomas Jane actually pulled it off better than I'd have thought. Travolta played it straight, and it worked for him for that...I didn't recognize Samantha Mathis (Of Pump up the Volume and Broken Arrow fame).

28 Days - Good Sandra Bullock movie, with Alan Tudyk (Of Firefly) and Viggo. Drama, so not a whole lot of "Fun" stuff to post about it.

Dawn of the Dead - Remake..zombies in a mall. No Happy Ending (which I thought the original kinda had). Makes me wonder about seeing the new ROmero film "Land of the Dead", just to see where the story logically goes, according to the creator.

Half watched Family Guy...I'm losing my feel for it...it just doesn't seem as funny as it did several years ago..and it's almost like they are trying too hard...I won't last very long with it..tho, I did see a preview for Boreanaz' new show...dunno if I'll watch it or not.

Ok, back to attempted sleep. 3 hours is better than nothing, right? Right? Hello? Is this thing on?

(no subject)

Made it in, and even made it in in time for work. Tired? Oh hell yeah. And I'm fairly certain I will sleep well tonite. Go Sleep.

Now to see how the day matches the sleep cycle. I'm Optimistic. :-)

To the anonymous sender...

To whomever has been combing Monster and Careerbuilder (And finding jobs that have missed my searches)....thank you. All but one that you've sent me have been applied to, and fingers are crosed, again. Not knowing who you are, I've not been able to say it, but thanks.

In other news, I got my first "Good Luck" card, from the girls down at DMP (A subsidiary type company)...only two of the girls I supported down there are left, and it was a nice "Awww" moment when the card was handed to me this morning.

Other than that, I've not fallen down on the job yet...so I count that as a win. :-P

No injuries, no pain, other than the whole work gig..found out I'll be sharing my goodbye lunch tomorrow (Which, actually, I'm happy with, as the contractor that's been here is a sweetheart, who really it was just forgotten that she was leaving..)

I'm DAMNED tired, my stomach is DAMNED angry, and I feel liked I need some DAMN sleep. :-P

Girl who I work with, whom I've been talking TV with forever, was bursting to talk to me about Six Feet Under...

Sleep...perchance to dream? Dreamt the con committee was twisted..like we were running a carnival...and not the fun HBO kind, either. :-)
