scared
I am scared to go to bed because last night I woke up at four in the morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. Like at all. Normally I’ll lie there and lie there and lie there, but it got so frustrating I got out of bed and started obsessively webbing around on the innernet like a freako. I guess around 6:30 I finally dozed but it was unpleasant and I had a weird dream. I called my doctor’s office to get them to represcribe me Ambien (Favorite Drug Ever) and I tried to act all casual with the assistant on the phone, like, “Oh hey, I just wanted to set up an appointment for a physical – ” (I didn’t at all, but I thought it would make me sound responsible, like someone who isn’t addicted to Ambien) – “ohandalso could youcallin a presecription forAmbien.” I speeded up the last sentence, and I kind of wanted the assistant to forget that I am not her boss, so I also tried to say it like a command. She didn’t forget. She replied, very sweetly, “Sure, well the doctor isn’t in yet but I’ll ask him when he arrives.” Long story long, they did not call in the prescription. So now I have no sleeping pills and I have an appointment for a physical I don’t want.
Meanwhile, I ate an enormous burrito about an hour ago. That will help me sleep, right?
Random thoughts: I love Amy Winehouse’s album Frank. Not as off le hizz catchy as the new one, but kind of fiercer in a weird way.
Sneak peek: Tomorrow I might write some mind blowing insights into relationships.

Maybe you could try a nice hot bath? I sleep more deeply when I try that.

How about some non-prescription sleep aids? I find that they usually do the trick, even (dare I say it?) the Wal-mart brand. Alternatively, drinking oneself into a coma is also quite effective.

if you didn’t sound so paranoid i’d suggest some good ol’ fashioned weed just like grandma used to get baked.
