Phiniac Pyrex Tank Contest

1994 was when I first started working in ERs, and worked 10am to 10pm ..... had problems going to sleep right away, and alot of times I would just stay up. At first they called it "Shift Worker Syndrome".
For me, and this has always been true, I have to have a good full hard sleep, or I feel worse. Hubby can take "combat naps" for 30 mins to 1 hr, but it takes me a long time just to fall asleep, and if I don't get at least 6 hrs, I feel awful, so alot of times it's just easier to stay up, and crash the next night.
I don't numb up, or sedate well either ... don't know if it's related. People have mentioned that's common with redheads. (I think my hair is brown, auburn at the most! LOL)

For meds -
Benadryl - bad, hard to wake up if you have to, same with ambien
Lunesta and trazadone don't give me any problems waking up. I'm a light sleeper, and my daughter mumbling in her sleep wakes me up even on those 2.

I guess that makes sense, although I've always had insomnia it did get much worse after my first child was born. I guess it was kind of similar to working the night shift at an ER. For the first few months after we had her I was usually up all night. The hubby was very helpful and I didn't need to be, but even when he said he had it and I should go back to sleep, I would lie there listening to the two of them on the baby monitor!

Benadryl doesn't make me sleepy. I am sure there are meds out there that would work wonders, I just can't get past my phobias!

 

[BluSwatch]

I hear ya, I don't even take the trazadone .... it doesn't do anything, so why take it?

Did you see this video???? http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/263065-what-stage-you.html
It is hillarious .... I can imagine what the guy is thinking when he stands there looking at her. LMAO

 

[moorea]

That was good. "I need more Vapor ... Vapor ... Vapor!"

 

[moorea]

I wonder what happened to vanZilla... Haven't seen him around lately! I would have liked to see what contest he suggested.

 

[BluSwatch]

I like those simple animation videos ..... like that one Geico commercial .... "I'm not your daddy, I'm your grandpa" LOL
Looked like Albert Einstein dancing.

 

[BluSwatch]

You're right .... haven't seen him anywhere for like 2 days? At least?

 

[moorea]

Well, I just checked his profile page, he hasn't posted any where since 1/24! And hasn't popped in and said hello on any of my threads since going all the way back to 1/19.

 

[BluSwatch]

Huh .... I would think if he's sick, he'd be on more (staying home) .... maybe on a trip? But now days, everyone takes their laptops with them. Hmmm, I wonder what is up?

Geesh, I should read what I type BEFORE I hit the dumb button .....

 

[moorea]

I actually try not to take my lap top when I go away. It doesn't always happen, but I work 7 days a week all hours of the day. On the rare occasions I do leave town, I try to make it "my" time. Same with my cell phone. I go to town so infrequently when I do, I don't check my mail or answer my cell unless unless it is the hubby. When you work 7 days a week you deserve time to yourself even if it just every 6 weeks when you visit the salon! It drives my husband crazy. He is one of those who has his cell phone (with internet and email) on his side 24/7! He can't imagine that I would want to get on a plane and not bring my laptop with me or why I do not share my cell number with each and every customer.

 

[BluSwatch]

I can see you not wanting to work all the time.
My hubby has your problem, he never turns his cell on. He goes months without using any minutes, unless he calls to say he's gonna be late, which isn't often.
Now our home phone we rarely answer .... we are on a "do not call list" for solicitors, but we are always getting called for dumb stuff. If I don't see a name I know on caller ID, I ain't picking up. (we tell all our friends to talk to the machine, then we know to answer. LOL)

 

[BluSwatch]

Oooo ... it just dawned on me that I might have 2 GLVs come tomorrow! I have the older GLV1 off the classies coming! Yay!!
What tank to put on him? ...... I suppose it depends on if hubby wants to use it. It's quite manly. LOL

[Odium]

Maybe they are sending me a second one!!! That's it!

Sure... And Moorea is just gonna wake up this morning and give us all free tanks because we're her buddies lol



But not to fret, because as the saying goes:

 

[BluSwatch]

I've been up all night ..... all that fluffy looks good about now.

 

[Odium]

Why you been up all night? Gonna stay up until the mail runs?

 

[BluSwatch]

Couldn't sleep. and didn't start getting tired until about 4:30 ..... had to get up at 5:30, so it wasn't worth it. Daughter goes to school at 7:30, so I'll try and get some sleep then.
Our mail doesn't come till around 2 (esp on days you are waiting for something) so I should be good.
