I Have Returned!

I’ve been away from my blog for over three years but my insomnia is ever-present. Stay tuned!

Melatonin – Thoughts Anyone?

Being the non-sleeper that I am, from time to time I rely on sleep aids to get my night started – some OTC, some prescribed.  The prescribed meds get me to sleep quickly enough but don’t do such a good job at keeping me there.  With the OTC products, I started waking up with headaches so I gave those up.  Someone suggested Melatonin.  I took it last night and within 30 mins I was asleep on the couch.  On a side note, I was completely exhausted so I’m not sure if it was a result of the new ‘drugs’ or just good old fashioned fatigue.  I’ve read quite a bit about it, but would like to hear from anyone that’s had exposure to this supplement.  Anyone?

Spring Storms

Baltimore had its first thunderstorm of the season this evening.  We were actually under a tornado warning for quite awhile tonight.  It was a wonderful experience.  Aside from the thunder and lightning, the second best thing was seeing the neighborhood kids scurry from our front lawn.  One little chunky monkey was so petrified, all thoughts of his trike were dismissed when he took off for home – and yes, being the good person that I am I did walk it over.

Wow, just finished eating a Baby Ruth. Boy was it yummy!

My First Post

Hi readers.  Welcome to my world – I promise to bore you all to tears, or fall asleep trying! (and for those that know me know the odd's of that happening are slim to zilch) ;-)
