Now Give Me Money

God, I sleep lousy when I take my codiene. I didn't go to bed until 4:09 am last night, finally fell asleep around 6 and was wide awake by 9. (and this is taking all my sleep medication as well) I swear it acts on my body just like speed. I get palpitations and have a great deal of energy and I am really f'ing jumpy. Last night watching Threshold (which I didn't care for either), I jumped about 2 feet during one of the scarier parts.

I made over 400 dollars on Ebay this week. (but then you have to minus postage and fees) It went out as fast as it came in. I don't have a lot more to put up. I need to find a source for back issues of art zines... They sold well and for beaucoup bucks. Also, I must remember to ask for the day off on that first day of the library's book sale in October. As far as the stuff that I have on Amazon goes, I was really shocked that the F Scott Fitgerald stuff I inherited from my 2nd husband, sold so fast. Yuck...I hate F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I think when all  3 people who read this blog post comments, I'll respond to them here. Its just easier that way.

Thanks Midge for being concerned about my safety!

hey, what sleep medication are you taking? i know a couple of people who were on ambien, and it didn't work for them at all.

i was having a lot of trouble about a month ago - after approximately five days without sleep i finally ended up having to resort to a cocktail of melatonin, valerian root and single-malt scotch...

i do not recommend this method, but it worked pretty good.

I take 25 mg Seroquel and 1 mg Ativan.
Seroquel is actually a drug for Schizophrenia but it is prescribed at 300 mg for that condition. It used to work all by itself but since I've had breathing troubles, we added the ativan for anxiety.

Wow...melatonin, valerian and Scotch...Hmm, I wonder which I would puke up first :) Have you tried Valerian in a tea?? Nasty!

haven't had the "pleasure" of trying that in a tea. the capsules are bad enough; all i can do is swallow them down quickly and try not to taste them. i have to keep the bottle sealed in a ziploc bag so as to not offend the entire household.
