So my mission last night was to find the right combination of meds, behaviors, and imbibements to result in sleep. I aligned everything I had in my granny caddy (a Rubbermaid bin that houses all my prescription medication), and carefully looked for words like "do not operate machinery" on the warning labels. Then I grabbed the remote, the new issue of Wired, and a bottle of Pinot Noir and headed to the couch. I decided to forego the prescription medications, since they have all those annoying primary effects. I considered the cable series Spartacus, but decided the combination of slow motion gladiator gore and regular-motion gladiator soft-porn wasn't likely to result in restful slumber (at least not for me, but possibly for the gladiator). I went with Old Dogs, the delightful tale of Mork and Vinny Barbarino, or whatever their real names are, as bachelor business partners who must take care of Mork's illegitimate and heretofore unacknowledged twin spawn for 2 weeks. Yawner - perfect! I slipped in a Tylenol PM just after the final credits rolled and read a couple of articles in the mag. I made it upstairs and... woke up some 6.5 hours later thankful for my Pinot and my Uverse Starz free trial.
Elizabeth, running partner and skin doc extraordinaire, did read yesterday's post and wanted to make sure my colorfully described skin issue was nothing to worry about. She declared me well, at least on the outer layer, but did leave me with some new (infant) cream to use on the spots, which was very much appreciated! It was also good to see her again a week after my low point so she could share with others that I'm indeed looking much more like myself this weekend.
I've used the Baby cream a couple times now with no ill effects. I need to fill up my Gerber bottle with pinot now and choose my movie, so night night all!
Where's my binkie?
You should try David's MBA Italian textbooks, they seem to work like magic... 10 minutes and you are guaranteed 5-6 hours sleep!!!
