Insomnia 2.0

I'm still not sleeping.  I fall asleep with difficulty, then wake up a bit later and can't get back to sleep.  Dreams are restless.  I know why it is.  September is always a difficult month, and I'm still coming off an extremely stressful summer.  I don't get stress symptoms during stressful situations; I get them afterward.  Since the stress was drawn out over several months, it only makes sense that the come-down would be drawn out as well.

At any rate, because I'm not sleeping, I'm getting sick a lot.  Like ellameena has been going through, I've been having low-grade crappiness, and last night, I was feeling even worse.  And then I couldn't sleep again and woke up feeling horrible.  So I called in today and made a doctor's appointment.

(As an aside, I'm interested in seeing when I get back what happened in my absence.  The school still assigned a sub, but did R--, my intern, take over most of everything?  If so, how'd she do?  I really want to know.)

The doctor gave me a prescription for sleeping meds designed to get sleeping properly but not be a long-term crutch, which is what I wanted. 

Afterward, I went out for breakfast.  So there!
