Ambien Rocks

I've blogged once or twice about our sleeping challenges. We've dabbled in just about everything you can imagine to get a good night's sleep -- short of rolling a joint and puffing on it. We've pretty much achieved it now....with Ambien (just a half pill, please) or Lunesta. It definitely does the trick. Last night, I decided to really live on the edge and take a whole pill....and I always leave out the appropriate dosage for my honey bunny to take. He said, "A whole pill?" I said, "Just take it." So, we're upstairs, checking out Family Guy and we start fooling around a little. Okay, a lot. But, see, here's the problem. I kind of remember the start of things, and even parts of the middle, but that's where it ends. Fade to black. I think I'll go back to the half pill tonight.

You Rock! Nathan has become one of my best friends in the blogging world. He and I have exchanged some great emails, phone calls, and share many of the same ideas. He knows full well that I've had a rough summer...for one of the first times in my life. I've been frustrated, a little depressed (which is very unusual for me), fed up with our society, and just generally been tired and irritable. He asked for my address a while back and said that he was sending me a rock. A rock? Yes, he was going to ship a gratitude rock all of the way from Tennessee to Oregon. I told him that we had rocks here -- that Lewis and Clark (no relation that I'm aware of) had brought them out a few years back. I was sitting here on the computer today when the mailman arrived and slipped the mail through the front door. Ker-Plunk! The package had arrived. You'll see the note and picture attached. He's a dream....a very good friend indeed. And I promise to remember that "my friends and family love me" whenever I look at this nicely polished rock. Thanks, Nathan. I appreciate your friendship and thoughtfulness.
