I wish I could wax some poetic or deeply meaningful stuff or something. Isn’t there a supposed link about 3am and artistic talent? Or something like that. This meme certainly alludes to it. But Nope, all I can think of is: It’s 3:21am. And I’ll be up the proverbial creek without a paddle in the…

I have a xanax prescription but I try not to take more than my prescribed 1mg per day. However, if I have not slept a while and my xanax just got renewed, I admit to taking 1.5x or 2x the prescribed dose. As expected, it puts me to sleep for a good portion of the…

Week 6: It is what it is.
This is basically where I am sleepwise. But I’m sick and tired of talking about it. So on to other stuff this week.
