Update: I wrote most of this in the morning during a break and then…forgot about it. Whoops? So here we are! Late posting ahoy!
Last night was an adventure in OTC meds: I was anxious about having another night broken up by nightmares, so I took one (1) advilPM pill, which is usually enough to knock me out, at around 9 pm.
Only… I didn’t.
Instead, I apparently grabbed the migraine pill bottle. This OTC med is a combination of acetaminophen, aspirin, and CAFFEINE.
So I laid in bed feeling like I needed to jump up and…go…do…something. Anything. Just absolutely anything but fall asleep!
Perplexed by this strange reaction, I got up and went to the kitchen thinking I’d take a second pill, which is when I realized that the migraine med bottle was sitting next to my water glass. Oooof.
I waited another hour and then took some melatonin, which is not quite as effective as advilPM but I never want to fuck around with acetaminophen reactions.
And so, dear hearts, this is how I ended up sleeping in until almost 7 am and then barely getting the dog walk in before having to log on to the day!job.
Very much a Monday of a Tuesday, yes?
Thus I really can’t say what the morning walk was like, other than kinda speedy. More people out! Sunlight! I took a photo of where the gazebos used to be since there was enough light out to see it by, but I’ll post that tomorrow.
We are told we’ll get rain but every day we don’t, and so the pond’s water level is getting low again. As is everywhere else.
