Argh! Crashed hard early Monday evening (between six and seven, I think), slept fitfully until after noon, spent the afternoon in severe pain because the tramadol wasn't enough and I didn't want to take codeine a) in case I needed it today and b) for fear of not being able to sleep last night/this morning, since I wanted to conserve spoons for HCB rehearsal tonight. (Fortunately the pain was down in the ignorable-with-tramadol range by mid-evening.)

So of course I've not slept since, anyhow. *pout* Hating this. (I've tried a few prescription & non-prescription sleep aids. The most effective work for two or three nights then stop working for me even if I stop taking them for a few months then try again.)

I set a series of alarms to try to wake me in time for rehearsal if I do fall asleep, but if it doesn't happen soon then I won't be in any shape to go anywhere when I wake up if I wake up in time. Argh, I say, and also Feh and Harrumph!

 

Caught Charlie Rose earlier this morning. Going to have to go back and mine that episode for quotes. Maybe they'll have a transcript up by the time I get to that.

Posted some half-baked, sleep-deprived thoughts about crime reduction in very broad terms, in a comment. Ought to go back and do the research I admitted not having done, and make a whole entry here out of it, but not today. (Because today I'm trying to #%^@ing sleep and then hoping to get to rehearsal.)

The other two things I was going to mention here just flew right out of my head. (Izzat the approach of sleep at long last, or just being scatterbrained?)

There's a Chinese remedy for sleeplessness; something flowery that comes in packets, add warm water and drink. It puts me out like a light -- but I've never tried it while dealing with pain, so I have no idea about that. If you like I will try to find the name of it. I got it at Maxim's, but probably any good Chinese grocery might know where to find it.
