So with work and stress getting every last thing done, sleep has been an issue. So, Sean and I bought some sleep aid pills yesterday. Melatonin and Ginko Bilboba, which are both herbal and natural off the shelf pills. We each took one melatonin, and I also took a dose of Ginko. This morning was not pretty. We both slept through the night, but I've been out of sorts all day, scared I wasn't going to be able to stay awake. Mentally I felt relatively fine, but until now could barely lift my arms to type. Luckily, my father was around and had the day off, and my land lady -retired nurse- was helpful.
But here goes the epic fail:
I decided to cancle work, knowing I'd not be functional. My reasoning was about sleeping pills, which I thought could sound a bit odd, like an excuse, so to cover my basis I told my boss I went to my doctors, when I in fact only had to call them and be supervised as the meds left my system. SO, then I text Sean to tell him I told my boss I was at the docs, and was off to dinner with my dad rather than our planned lunch, hoping food would jog me up. Well, here is my luck, I've been texting all this info to my boss the whole time instead.
Lesson learned:
1)Honesty is ALWAYS the best policy! Hah!
2)Only take half a pill!!! And don't mix!!!
Ah well, I was only a centimeter from the truth and I'm out of here in just one week, but I do feel terribly embarrassed about that. La la la.
Over and out.
