Oh - you were having fun over the weekend - duh . . . I, completely, was in the dark about the Chicago IHD meet-up!  Glad you were able to go!   :yahoo;

Good night and pleasant dreams!

Chris,

That is the perfect gift for you - don't you think?  :2thumbsup;

So,   ;musicalnote; "Did you forget to take your meds?"  ;musicalnote;   :lol;

Let me know if that's beginning to annoy you!  I won't be offended!

I didn't take sleeping pills, I was working on several things. Had to scan and fax some documents, read and try to understand all new wireless router setup with new security features that still  puzzle me. Darn new wireless router project is something I come home to as a project to do and figure out how to do from my dad, but I have no idea what the settings he has on the old one and he didn't print that out. Just gave me the password to get into his computer. :rant;

Well at least I have two women who talk to me in the morning now :rofl; One says good morning, the other say It is 10 am, time to take your pills. Now if I get my Mandy of my GPS unit out of the mental health center, I would have 3 women, but one would be arguing all the time :rofl; :rofl;

I plan to take the sleeping meds tonight, I set a reminder on the pill container.

My husband seems to be over his insomnia, finally (3+months post transplant).   He's asleep now and I'm sitting here feeding my IHD addiction.  Better than carbs when on the South Beach diet  :rofl;

I have occasional sleep problems, but not enough to take anything for it.  Actually it's 10:45 my time right now and I'm exhausted from a week of class (i'm back in full time! :yahoo;)
But anyway, Benedryl in the hospital knocked me OUT.  I always wondered why about 5 minutes into plasmapherisis I'd be asleep, when I finally asked, the nurse says that's what nurses take when they want to sleep.  Hehe a syringe full of Benedryl makes plasma go by quick!  By the time you wake up, it's almost over! :cheer:
