Well, I was a good girl and went to bed around 1am, which is better than the usual 4. It is now 8:45, and I have not had a minute of sleep.
I realize I had 2 cups of coffee and an energy drink at work, but still? I've taken my usual 400mg Seroquel (quetiapine), 750mg (I think) Depakote (valproic acid), 2 benadryl (although that was for my arms itching), 150mg of Trazodone. And apparently that just made me tired as hell but not actually let me sleep. Oh and I did take a Bronkaid (contains ephedrine) at around 9pm.. that probably gets added to the caffeine total.
I go a little crazy staring at the walls that long. Tonight's obsession was primarily binging and any other possible plans for today. Plans, of course, should probably not include lots of driving unless I get some sleep. I am thinking just Target and maybe buying hair dye if that store is open. I always get it at Sally's Beauty Supplies because I swear the ones where you buy dye and developer separate work better than the usual boxed kinds. I am bored with my current color and I think it's fading. Also one of my friends recently dyed her hair blue, and I'm jealous. Not going to dye mine blue, but I want something new now. Then I will probably binge because I have been obsessing all night about where to go.
For now I think I will give up on sleep and go shower. I left 3 out of 4 burns uncovered last night, and it seemed to be fine. That means work tomorrow I may try it. I am currently thinking (can you tell how much I think when I can't sleep?) that the burns actually may worry people less than mysterious bandages. Also, they itch less.
So I may write again later. Now I will shower to try to look presentable and go somewhere to acquire some caffeinated beverage.
This is random but that last sentence makes me think of this customer at the bank who I think was trying to flirt (?). And while I was working explained how to shotgun an energy drink. I got some interesting looks from coworkers after that conversation. Still have never tried that (with energy drinks or alcoholic beverages). It sounds rather tempting now, but I can finish an energy drink in less than 10 minutes anyway. Not sure why I felt the need to tell that story. The guy was kinda cute.
Also, why is it that right when I decide to get out of bed, both cats decide to lay on me so I feel like an asshole for making them move? This happens so often. Oh well, I love them even if they're inconsiderate at times.
And in case you wanted a picture of my cats butt. Nermal is by my feet.
Adding this later, but this is my new hair color. I don't think the picture does justice to how bright it turned out. It's Clairol's Chroma True Reds line in Ruby. I almost bought one of the red-violet ones but wimped out. Still really like it though
This is probably gonna sound silly, but have you tried decaf? I'm a huge coffee drinker (usually 15-20 cups a day, brewed, not instant), and can fall asleep *while* drinking coffee, but last payday I bought a bag of decaf beans. I've been having decaf only after 5 or 6pm, and it's definitely been easier to get to sleep.
ReplyDeleteWhat colour are you dying your hair? I need to do mine again soon once the bump on my head heals up. I might have to try buying separate colour and developer.
Boo - the picture won't show up :( When I try to open it directly it comes up with a 403 error (forbidden). I always want to see cats' butts.

I think I fix the picture. I can never get them to work if I am on my phone. Also added a picture of my new hair color. This time I used Loreal Technique the Chroma True Reds line, which I think is fairly new. Mine is the Ruby shade https://amzn.com/B00YW5RTKI I get it at Sally's but I think you can find it online. I used a level 20 developer.. the levels depend on whether you're dyeing it darker/same or lighter than the previous shade. The higher the number, the more it lifts the old color. https://amzn.com/B00BDJ7NG6 You need equal volumes, so one bottle of developer can be used with multiple bottles (which you may need for longer hair than mine) can be used with multiple tubes of the color (usually about 2oz each). I also like Loreal Preference Mega Reds (and I think there's one of the Mega Browns I've used) because they don't fade much. Red can be tricky because so many fade so quickly. Sorry if that was a really long response
