Morning insomnia
Question:
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hey Meryl – be careful, I know how to buy plane tickets! Walmart is starting to look mighty good. I have my eye on that "greeter" job. You say hello, and offer the person a shopping cart ("buggy" if it’s in the southeast U.S; lol). Yep. I spent quite a large amount of time in FL and met greeters in Walmart. Trolley if in OZ but no Walmart. I’ve even practiced my new job skills. "Hello, would you like a buggy?" LOL ! See, I’ve got it down pat already. Pretty good. Wouldn’t work as an option for me sadly. It has been made very apparent that my interpersonal skills are very lacking. I finally decided that I was just so mad about what happened Friday (long story – bottom line, I was treated VERY abusively, and I can’t really do anything about it – so this goes against my very soul which wants justice all the time, blah, blah, blah….) that I actually called in, and slept until I felt like getting up; even turned OFF the alarm clock. But I was treated badly Friday, very abusively. I have been advised not to go the justice route. It taxes me too much. I need to find the what is best for me route. Still looking. Hey Meryl Justice and fairness are scarce as hens teeth. Just say – fuck it - and do something fun. Put it right behind you like garbage. Really does work ya know. Ma I have done that before. This situation is more complicated. I am getting help tomorrow. Hi Meryl, just caught the end of this thread. Email me if you don’t want to go into details here, it’s been a while. If there’s anything I can do please let me know. Sounds like something awful happened at your workplace 
Vanessa You have guessed correctly. Awful (sorry LM) for me at least. I lost many addies in a computer crash. I am better at responding than initiating mail right now. I would like to talk with you off Usenet.
I will email you shortly and include my home phone number and mobile number. I’ll leave it up to you when and if you wish to contact me. I’m here for you {{{Meryl}}} Vanessa

Hi, Vicki, Sounds like you deserved a nap! You’ll be enjoying those veggies all fall and winter…so there’s the upside to all of your hard work. smiles, Elise
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi Elise, Trying to get that recipe for ya! Anyway, I can sympathize with what you are saying, Tell yourself you can take a nap later. With me sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. This morning I called my husband at work around 11:30am. Next thing I knew after I talked to him it was 12:50! I absolutely passed out! I was tired since I was up late last night canning green beans. (he has to get up at 4:30am to leave for work, and I am up with him) I am finished with them for the season, I hope!! I don’t mind doing it, it just takes a lot of time. Now the corn, butter beans and peas will be ready!!! I need to do some power walking to get myself in shape for that!! LOL I feel blessed that we have a good garden this year. I always appreciate the vegetables especially around November. Love, Vicki Hi, Gary, I am an early riser most of the time. I usually tell myself when I awaken too early, "there will be a nap today". Regardless of a nap or no nap I give myself some leaveway to get a bit of rest. Some times just laying down, propping my feel and resting my eyes is all I need to get through the day. I hope work isn’t as bad today for you as it was on Friday. Maybe you’ll sleep better tonight after you have been to the work place and hopefully it’s less stressful today. I hope the work day goes quickly for you so you can get some sleep tonight. Glad you had a pleasant Father’s Day!!! smiles, Elise I have always read that if you are wide awake and can’t sleep you should just get up and do something for a while, so here I am. I caught up some correspondence, paid a couple of bills, and watched the sun come up, and now I’m just wondering how long I’ll be sitting here wide awake – this is relevant only because I have a job to go do for 8 hours which starts at 4 in the afternoon, so all this time is just time I’m gunna be *not sleeping!!*. No changes in meds, no caffeine issues, no obvious cause; ate a pleasant dinner last night with the family for Father’s Day; all went well. Friday at work was admittedly a nightmare, and then when I thought it could not become any worse, a key player in the show became extraordinarily inappropriate and confrontational toward the end of the day, and I have been thinking about this, and maybe that’s why I’m not sleeping. Honestly if I ran the entire planet, I would not have to go there today, because I just don’t feel like it, but I realize that is not sufficient justification to stay home, so I won’t. Maybe my statement "no obvious cause" is really just not so, the more I consider it. I wonder if I start acting really psycho at work if they will send me out to somewhere like you see on TV, one of those places like "Greenbrier Psychiatric Institute" with the wrought iron gate at the front, circular drive entrance, lovely idyllic green grass where the patients wander about, contemplating the meaning of their freakin’ existence…. As long as the nurse (or anyone really) brought me my meds, I think it could be quite ok. I’m really a fairly humble person, and don’t think the stigma normally attached to sitting in a place like that would bother me in the slightest. It is now 8 AM, so if I fall asleep RIGHT now, I’ll get 6 hours of sleep – I think maybe a 10 mg Valium is the solution for today. I hate (hate) to do that, but the prospect of working 8 hours on no sleep is nothing less than intolerable. I’m sure things will be alright, they always have been. I hope everyone out there has a good day, and I will not become psycho at work, I promise. Gary

"I don’t worry for a second about you being psycho, here, at work, at home or anywhere else." That was really very kind of you to say Philip, and I genuinely appreciate it. Sending kindest regards to the Netherlands…. Gary

Gary I’m sorry about the sleepless night which sounds like it was indeed caused by this person acting confrontationally to you. Of course I don’t know anything about what happened and why but sometimes people fly off the handle. To each their own stress, so to speak but don’t let his (hers?) get to *you*, don’t give him/her more power, one sleepless night will do 
I don’t worry for a second about you being psycho, here, at work, at home or anywhere else. Philip

I hope everyone out there has a good day, and I will not become psycho at work, I promise. Gary

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I have always read that if you are wide awake and can’t sleep you should just get up and do something for a while, so here I am. Only if you don’t have insomnia Getting up and doing anything or just the act of getting up will sent me into more awake mode which obviously is worse. So I usually just lie in bed until I’m out, if not then sleep wasn’t meant to come that particular night. It is now 8 AM, so if I fall asleep RIGHT now, I’ll get 6 hours of sleep Oh how many times have we all watched the clock count down…One thing that helped me is to keep all clocks out of sight so the above thinking doesn’t take place. Whether it works or not, it can’t hurt the situation. Of course this assuming you have an alarm to wake you up if your body decides to go out a couple hours before having to get ready for work. – I think maybe a 10 mg Valium is the solution for today. I hate (hate) to do that, but the prospect of working 8 hours on no sleep is nothing less than intolerable. Does taking extra Valium normally work for you? I ask because the times I screwed up my Xanax dose times, taking an extra that day or night didn’t help sleep at all. I’m sure things will be alright, they always have been. Of course. I hope everyone out there has a good day, and I will not become psycho at work, I promise. Ahh shucks, it may have produced some interesting stories for people to tell their grandkids Hope you’re able to sleep tonight Gary. Kevin..

Hi, Gary, I am an early riser most of the time. I usually tell myself when I awaken too early, "there will be a nap today". Regardless of a nap or no nap I give myself some leaveway to get a bit of rest. Some times just laying down, propping my feel and resting my eyes is all I need to get through the day. I hope work isn’t as bad today for you as it was on Friday. Maybe you’ll sleep better tonight after you have been to the work place and hopefully it’s less stressful today. I hope the work day goes quickly for you so you can get some sleep tonight. Glad you had a pleasant Father’s Day!!! smiles, Elise

I caught up some correspondence, paid a couple of bills, and watched the sun come up, and now I’m just wondering how long I’ll be sitting here wide awake – this is relevant only because I have a job to go do for 8 hours which starts at 4 in the afternoon, so all this time is just time I’m gunna be *not sleeping!!*. No changes in meds, no caffeine issues, no obvious cause; ate a pleasant dinner last night with the family for Father’s Day; all went well. Friday at work was admittedly a nightmare, and then when I thought it could not become any worse, a key player in the show became extraordinarily inappropriate and confrontational toward the end of the day, and I have been thinking about this, and maybe that’s why I’m not sleeping. Honestly if I ran the entire planet, I would not have to go there today, because I just don’t feel like it, but I realize that is not sufficient justification to stay home, so I won’t. Maybe my statement "no obvious cause" is really just not so, the more I consider it. I wonder if I start acting really psycho at work if they will send me out to somewhere like you see on TV, one of those places like "Greenbrier Psychiatric Institute" with the wrought iron gate at the front, circular drive entrance, lovely idyllic green grass where the patients wander about, contemplating the meaning of their freakin’ existence…. As long as the nurse (or anyone really) brought me my meds, I think it could be quite ok. I’m really a fairly humble person, and don’t think the stigma normally attached to sitting in a place like that would bother me in the slightest.
