Insomnia

I hate not being able to sleep.

Yep, not being able to sleep is at the top of my list of hated things.

G'mornin, kerver. Welcome to A2K

Welcome to the club Rae...

Knew I liked you for a reason, cav! :wink:

Hee....I'm out of Prevacid and my acid-reflux is going bonkers

Oh man! That can't be too pleasant. You're a chef.....no baking soda in the house?

I have Pepcid AC, works okay...kicking in now, thankfully.

Prevacid is the best, but the pills are almost $200 for a 2 month supply

By the way.....this 'insomnia club' ~ I never signed up for it. I want out!

$200? With or without insurance?

Me too...I might try....I work at home though, so I can always nap later, heh heh. Found inspiration to post this in Edgar's Spontaneous Poems thread. It's a metaphor for my stomach problems, lol:

A Haunting

What noise disturbs my gentle sleep
and steals the dreams I wish to keep?
Strange sounds echo down below,
the cellar, where I loathe to go...
With candle lit, in dressing gown
I hesitantly venture down
to see what things awake me,
in fear of what awaits me.
The sound of chains across the floor,
a haunting cry, a slamming door,
are these just dreams or something more?
A flash of light across the room
broke my silent sense of doom.
Among the wine casks spirits danced
in cold pastiche of true romance,
and in the darkness one figure stood,
pale, wan, in cloak with hood.
"Ghost, what do you want of me,
to steal my dreams of revery!"
The spirit uttered just one word,
at first I thought I had misheard,
with bony finger facing me,
He uttered "Thee..."

Cav, cool words, nice code.


I can sleep okay just not at night.
All napped out, time to clean house I guess.

Well, I have full coverage, but need to pay up front, then wait for weeks to get the money back.

Clean the house eh...might give the wife a heart attack...not because of the vaccuum noise, but because I'm actually cleaning the house....

Thanks Code!

Awesome poem. (Reminds me of a b-day card from my Dad ~ the one with the lovely pic of the Grim Reaper on the front.)

At least you have insurance. That's a good thing.

Hiya, CB! Hope you are well.

It is kinda neat to be the only people posting....

Yeah, it is kind of neat. I feel like a kid ~ the folks are gone ~ what kinda trouble can we get into?!!

Hi both. :-) Thanks for good wishes. Hellava week.

Why nobody sleeping? Stress? To much rest? Rock'n'roll?
