  • Insomnia

    I have it.  I'm sick of it.  I was doing so well there for a while, then I got sick and took some Tylenol Flu night-time and it's been a stupid road back to non-drug sleep ever since.  I'm just dreading those 2-3 days of crappy sleep after you stop taking something to HELP you sleep.  My husband takes ambien to sleep, which I've tried a few and they do well, but I hate having to rely on that to get to sleep. 

    J's uncle has been moved to hospice.  He's having a hard time with it.  He doesn't have a father, so his uncles WERE his father(s) in a sense. 

    I have to teach an entire intro to creative writing class on Thursday.  The topic?  Pantoums, sestinas and poetry grammar.  Ugh.  I don't even know what a pantoum is . . . or a sestina for that matter, and I always thought poetry grammar was, you know, kind of loose anyway. 

    E is wonderful.  She's all about Barbie these days.  I was such a Barbie freak when I was younger. 

    Sunday nights are so depressing now that HBO has no new shows.  Bleargh.  In good news, Game of Thrones (the pilot) is in the process of shooting.  If it gets picked up--and I don't see how it can't considering all the awesome, cool names involved--it should air in 2011 sometime.  Maybe Martin will actually have Dance with Dragons finished by then?

    Anyway, there's an update from my groggy-ass self.

  • I do feel for you - - insomnia is not a pleasant thing. I've had the opposite probelm in the past: not being able to stay awake. I hope you'll start to feel better soon.

    "Game Of Thrones"? I haven't heard of that one. I'll have to read up on it.

    Best of luck to you on teaching the creative writing intro.

  • Poetry grammar???? Do those two words even go together???  *scratches head*

    I sympathize with the insomnia part, though I'm the complete opposite. I've been sleeping for ten to twelve hours lately, and it's too much rest. makes it hard to get going in the day... or, evening...
