Two Am

My mother-in-law who was so marvelous in so many ways used to drive me batty by saying, “Two am in the morning…” It is not as if 2 am in the morning could be confused with 2 am in the afternoon, now, could it.

Anyway, here I am up at 2 am no matter what time of day it is. I have had a cup of peanut-brittle ice cream and {mumblemumblesixmumblemumble} gingersnap cookies and, unfortunately, I know the calorie value of all of it only too well. But I tell myself this is a lapse and it will not happen again {well, perhaps if I am fortunate, not for a few days, anyway}

I also went into the bathroom and found one of the Klonopin tablets I haven’t taken since I started on the nortriptylene for Restless Leg Syndrome. I can feel the Klonopin lethargy and floating feeling sneaking up on me. I know why I am not sleeping well. Fred is not sleeping well and it is for the same reason. We are both worried about what is going to be found when he has the surgery for colon cancer.

If this sleeplessness continues, I will go and see the doctor. Normally I am not a believer in sleeping pills but this seems like the time for some.

i can understand the worry you two must be having right now. it’s perfectly normal. i wish there was something i could say that would make the worrying less. all i can do is pray that the surgery will not find cancer and fred will be just fine. take care,

Chrys.

Take care.

I can’t remember when the surgery is scheduled for, but I sure hope they don’t find anything major.

May they not find anything major, and get it all. I’d get so stoned on nortriptyline, I’d have to take it all at night. It helped me sleep.

I saw a woman walking yesterday and I IMMEDIATELY thought about you. She was about your age and looked somewhat like you, too. I said to myself “So…that’s what Patrisha is doing when she walks”. LOL! Thinking of you outside of OD, too. I hope you sleep better soon..they’res nothing worse in my book!

Hope you can get some sleep.

hugs. I’m praying for you guys

I’m sorry that you aren’t sleeping well.

Not getting the rest you need just makes everything else so much harder to deal with. I hope you can find the rest you need.

Two a.m. in the morning makes me think of how irritated I get by “at this point in time.” What other point would it be? Picky and crabby on Monday, I remain
