My brain is an asshole

Sometimes I find it hard to get to sleep

WHen I am reasonably stressed and a bit tired and run down (or other end of the scale and really depressed) my brain does that too. Its REALLY ANNOYING.

Fortunately I have a dr who understands and keeps me in a supply of sleep meds for the time I need to take half of one to turn my brain off. A script of 10 usually lasts me a couple of years :)

Yay for meds that work! Could do without the hangover the next day but its a small price to pay.

YAY PONIES!

These pills, are they smallish and blue and kind've oval-shaped?

If they are I sometimes use those too. They terrorise the Brain Toddlers into submission right nice.

Yes the ones that taste terrible!

[micheinnz]

But oh my god they do the trick!

I love your brain, sis. I'm glad I don't inhabit it (not least because it's quite crowded enough as it is), but it's fascinating to observe, and you do an impressive amount of really cool stuff with it.

You get brain toddlers?

That's nothing. In the old days, we all got issued brain weasels on crack, and liked it. Both ways uphill.

Since I got real toddlers, this doesn't happen much any more. :) I suspect that they will return occasionally once I get used to regular sleep again.

I'm glad your EF got its act together, but yeah... I've had nights like that, too.
