Sleep...Finally

I got some GOOD sleep last night. After tossing and turning Wednesday night and lying awake for several hours, I decided NOT to mess around last night and I took a melatonin and voila! Well-rested! Woot!

Jim got some sleep as well. I sent him a text in the AM after I got a text from my mom telling me (again because I hadn't listened well enough the first 2 times) to have him look into meloxicam (a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory for those who suffer from osteoarthritis). I did and Jim got a prescription for it which we filled last night (for "free"...since we've hit our deductible). He was feeling the effects soon after taking and he managed to sleep pretty well. I'm hoping this is the trick until hip replacement time. I'm not sure I can handle listening to him literally moan and groan for hours on end. Seriously...I know if I weren't in the house or around to hear it, he wouldn't carry on like that. I came downstairs to leave for work yesterday and he was draped, literally face down across the counter. I was more than happy to get the f*%k out of the house and go to work. I've tried to be very good about asking him how he's doing, how he slept, how work was, how his pain is but I have a hard time with his dramatics. Poor Jim...poor Muir.

So happy it's Friday. Yesterday was basically a wash. With my IEP meeting 1st period and then weird meetings the rest of the day which took my kids in and out of my classroom for one reason or another - I was unable to get any teaching done. And the kids were wild. Oh well...we all deserve a little break sometimes. Today - it's back to the books! Ooh, the trial starts today in To Kill a Mockingbird.

And I believe that's all I've got. Happy Friday! Woot! The weekend will be a somewhat busy one as we're headed to Trip and Susan's on Saturday for cards. I'm out...later!
