Thats the problem I have.......when I'm on my night rotation I have to take Benedryl or something to get some sleep. Today....I screwed up. I took a 25mg Benedryl, it was the alst one. So I grabbed another pack, but different brand name...same stuff. Those pills were 50mg. I didnt notice till after I took em. I pretty much had a hang over from the 75mg of Benedryl. Good sleep though.

55 minutes to go.........cant wait.........need sleep. But then I'll walk out into the sun.....be all awake and crap. Go get me a couple breakfast tacos.......take the dogs to the creek and let em swim and chase cows...........rinse em off, feed em. Then maybe they'll let me sleep today. No one else should be home.
Thats my plan.........so sure it wont even happen that way. I'm dreamin.

Ive been up since 6am, worked a 12, been on here off and on all day. Starting to get drifty now though, but I have to stay up so I can sleep in tomorrow. I work an overnight 12 tomorrow nite. My body clock gets so frayed sometimes that Im not sure if Im coming or going...until I get there...where ever that is.
