Yeah, sleep looks like privilege instead of necessity nowadays...

I've had similar struggles lately. Basically I'll get through about 3-4 hours of sleep but then wake up suddenly to battle with anxiety for a good 30 minutes before I can sleep again. Turning all the lights off helps, so does meditation. I've also heard good things about melotonin.

I don't get terribly anxious usually. I just wake up and feel fine. I'll sit up for awhile and read I just don't fall back asleep sometimes. I do all the "things" I'm supposed to do for sleeping but...I'm just an insomniac.

I have tried to color my red hair. I was... not overly successful. I think I'd have to bleach it first and I'm too cowardly. ^_^

Yeah...even though my hair is somewhat light already, the one time I was blonde, I still had to double process it and tone it to get a WARM blonde. LOL. So...I’d hardly call bleach a solution. I only do deposit only colors because I really do love my hair color. I just wanna play like everyone else!

Once you get it out, hold it directly over your head.

Not sure if I'd say I like digging, but it lets me zone out. When I help out at the gardening project, I tend to do the more laborious tasks because I can just lose myself in them. Only task I can't stand doing is weeding. I can't seem to zone out while doing that, I'm fully aware of how boring it is.

For some reason, I just find it so satisfying when I find the spot with the biggest give and get the root ball to pop.

Good luck! Hope your migraines go away soon

Then...no sleep.

Maybe you can lend a hand there, or do something else to help them out, when you have some free time. Hope you're feeling better now.

I missed a phone call from a Detroit number last night and I have a feeling it was my manager there going “pls...pls don’t leave. We need you. pls.” Like...I love my colleagues there but that manager. Woof.

Oh, that is actually very nice.

Chrono Trigger and Persona 5 are my two favorite JRPGs and they both have amazing soundtracks (and artwork).

Persona 5 is my other obsession lately! They're SO SO good!

And when do you sleep?

When we're fully staffed. XD

Agree. I've always liked these.

no way, i didnt know about this... well, beter late than never, thanks for sharing!

Quality will out. Expect to be running the department soon.

Do your best senpai!

I suppose it is a "we dub thee competent" except the know it all who will forever see me as "new girl." XD

Ah, you're almost there! Make/grab something delicious after 15:00 and ENJOY it!

(And as for the tech... force him/her into an X-Ray room and see what's hiding beneath that human mask! )

She had her crazy eyes on. To be fair, I warned her the nurses in ER were being all bite-y.

For some reason...all I want is broccoli. XD

Awwh. Such a caring soul, even when sick you still think of others. I hope you get well soon.

Oh, by the way, I like your profile picture. Looks awesome!

Thanks! My dearest Vexed made it for me, once again. <3

I was at my Detroit job. The winds came in so hard the automatic doors to the ER couldn't shut.

Rapid drop in temperature followed by strong winds... sounds like a cold front came through.

Exactly!

*sips tea under 51C°* ....

*stays inside AC controlled apartment and plays video games all day*

Also, this hospital is way, way, way smaller than the one I used to work at. So...das a lotta peeples.

Are you doing a full this time?

Still a half. I've had to scale back with all the health issues. The doctors obviously like that I'm active but they want me to be careful with how much I run since my weight is only now getting normal again.

Awesome! A half is still an amazing achievement. I was just curious.

Give them snacc and they'll forgive you lol

I like to go to her sleepy spot and just set a cat treat on her belly. <3

Do people get sick/injured more in this period of the year?

Well...the person I've been covering is believed to have to a severe case of "I don't want vacation to end" itis.

A very serious condition indeed.

I’ve had very, very bad GI problems for about ten years. They got horrifying last winter. I dropped almost 20 pounds over the course of two months despite eating like a maniac. I’ve felt very hypotensive all week and am getting neuropathy and vertigo again. I’ve lost 4 lbs this week despite healthy diet and now I’m getting a whopper of a migraine. Just took rescue medicine.

10 years??
Isn't there treatments or pills for this condition??

Hope for the best.

Have fun! Don't forget some shotguns!

LOL! I’m always on top of my hydration. I really am part fish. I’m pretty limited in what I can drink. I’m not going too hard but I haven’t eaten much so...crap.

Crap. Sky drunk is better indeed!

Thats rough! Everytime you do anything that involves someone you know and the word emergency its easy to lose your cool.

One of the advantages of being a stoic sociopath. When it is necessary, I don't differentiate a friend from a foe, because my emotional side completely shuts down until everything is over.
