Bit of Ivory

A lot.

You see, I’ve been taking sleeping pills the last couple of days. Well, they’re not really sleeping pills– they’re actually anti-seizure pills, but in small doses they’re supposed to help you sleep. I think they’ve been helping a bit, except that they do make me a bit more drowsy in the morning. It’s harder for me to get up and get going. Consequently I’ve been getting in late to work every day this week. I think I need to get to bed earlier. Maybe that will help me not have so much of a hangover in the morning.

In any case, I forgot to take one last night. Just haven’t gotten into the habit, I guess. And I had the worst night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time. I didn’t ever do more than dose– I seemed to be aware of the fact that I was lying in bed with my eyes closed almost the entire night. And I woke up with the worst headache I’ve had in a long time. Even worse than my Wahleecon headaches. I’ve taken 2 ibuprofen, but they haven’t made a dent. So I’m supplementing them with a Pepsi. *sigh* I usually avoid drinking caffiene, so I always feel slightly guilty when I do, even if it’s for medicinal purposes.

And in the meantime, my head is hurting, and I can’t concentrate on work. Bah.
