jenny when do you sleep?

yes just got up to try and take care of leg cramps. they are startin to go away some now. good ole drugs renee

Hopefully it comes soon waiting a bit for another soma stupid muscles spasms and arm pain. Thank goodness for all night TV though. The birds will be chirping as I drift off to sleep and the phone will ring soon after that.

Anyone want my counting sheep? I think they count to loud and are keeping me awake these days.

Lol tamtam, I don't want your sheep, do you want my cats??? These past two nights after I spent over 7 hours in a car have been quite painful. I've been up off and on ever since 1 a.m. Ugghhhhhhhh....

Good morning Pete and Jay. Its 5:30 a.m. here in Maine. Looks like Jenny is trying to sleep???

Tc everyone and hope you have a good day....

Marianne

Hi it' 10-45pm here in New Zealand and no lights are on in the houses around me. Hubby is on night-shift, just me and my 3 cats-not great conversationalists. So Hi to all the insomniacs, hopefully sleep will be catching up with you all soon. Love how any time there will always be spineys online, not so alone. Hugs n' Loves to all - Paula

Its early afternoon 13.03pm over here in 'old blighty'(England)and a fine warm day it is too. I am sat in my garden with my laptop, a coffee and my dressing gown on.
Hope you guys get some sleep soon.

Rain

hi all! the beginning of another night.. i sleep in the afternoon from 1 to 3.. then again about 9-12. so i get enough in.. have been having some all nighters once in awhile! YIPEE!!! but here it is 9 and i am wide awake.. oh well!! hope everyone else and the kitties get a few winks in.. hugsss to all sleepless spineys! Jenny

Anyone still here? No sleep coming to me tonight... I have an appointment with my lovely doc tomorrow and am a little stressed out. Also, traveling in a car for 8 hours sucks for spineys... hope you all are sleeping well!

How are you?

I'm okay. As well as can be expected and all that=] And you?

Actually I am starting to fade. Benadryl, melatonin, zanaflex all combined to finally get me some sleep ... till I'm awake in 2 or 3 hours but what the heck sleep none-the-less!

Hope your doc appt tomorrow/today goes well

I'm happy for you! And thanks very much! Hopefully I will follow into unconsciousness soon

Been busy trying to load the 5th wheel for camping this weekend. I do alittle at a time so it takes forever to get things packed and ready to go but that's okay Iam not doing much else anyway... We are having a big family get together and camp out this weekend, Iam so looking forward to it.
How has everyone else been???
Well, my husband found out he has 2 weeks left of work and then his job ends... He does have leads on some other jobs but no benefits so we would have to pay our cobra $800 a month, isn't that just dandy. I can't believe how much they reem you for insurance these days........
Oh well, things will work out they always do some how....
Hope everyone else is doing great !!!!
Jeanette

hahaha, my oldest asked if I went to Woodstock. He was giving me a hard time and we laughed when I told him I didn't remember much... because I was 2! He of course had to make some comment about drug use as I was taking my morphine & valium. I told him he had to talk to grandma about Woodstock, I'm sure he'll ask in a couple weeks when everyone visits for dinner! lol
Hope everyone has a great week!
Spiney hugs
Jay

My son always asks me if I was a hippy, lol. I was a teenager in the 70's, and ummmmm, well I was sort of a hippy but certainly not a flower child, lol!

Best to all,

Marianne

Well i want to be a flower child seems everything i eat goes to my hippies. So needless to say i will take the flower child. Oh wait that is what i stuck on my windows and everything i could find. Grrr i telling my age again. I think I'm going to start telling stories. You can all add in if you like.

Once upon a time there was this magical place and the counting sheep were locked at the gate. when they gate keeper said hark who goes there they said blahh black sheep. Gate keeper said that is not the pass word. He once again replies hark who goes there next reply was blah blah serta gate keeper responds that is not the password. Gate keeper says hark who goes there and and the sheep said...... to be continued

tamtam, i can always use a good bedtime story!!! i was just a teenager during woodstock but i love knowing we have some "would be flower children" and "hippies" on the forum!! i think i am a 'hippie" too! sleep well!! hugssssss, Jenny

I've been up off and on all night, my aching back won't let up. I've been doing too much getting my wonderfully old kitchen ready to paint. I think I'm going to be a lazy girl this Sunday!

to you Jenny!

Marianne

Our next thread can be for the hippy late-nite non-sleeping folks! Kids are funny, aren't they?

Looks like we have the whole crew up this morning
that's too bad!! Aside from the obvious, how are you all doing?
Spiney hugs to all
Jay

Jay, good morning!!! are you on your way to work? i like the idea of a Hippie thread! LOL! i think we are all old fogies now though jay!! atleast with young hearts!!! i am sick as a puppy this morning but still want to say hi and get some sleep everyone!!!! Hugsssss, Jenny

The whole idea makes me laugh too!

Yes, Jenny, I'm up for work, the last few days have been hard so I'm not not looking forward to it! Sorry you're still not feeling good, is it still the pancreas thing? Or am I thinking the wrong person? lol I can hardly keep track of myself lately it seems!!

We had to go to walmart last nite, it was a complete zoo!! I think because most of the kids start school today. Anyway, it was the first time I used my handicap parking placard. Good thing too, I'd have had to park in the north forty! Jeez!

Good morning Marianne, I have some pictures from the zoo a couple weeks ago, I'm getting them ready to post, some are cute! (We have a baby giraffe!)

Tam, all ready for the rest of your story!!
Jay

Can't wait to see those pics! I need a new camara, lol. Went to my favorite beach last evening to try again to walk on the beach like I used to, but not happening, sniff sniff, lol. I need a sand dune buggy wheelchair for that now! So we went to another beach across the harbor with the jetty and I sat on a rock and watched, still had fun. Took some pics but camara needs new batteries so can't post them yet.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Jenny. Being sick and in pain, double whammy, no fun at all.

to the Good Morning Hippies, LOL.

Marianne

marianne, thank you for the extra hugs!!! you be so careful painting!!!! it can be so hard on your back and neck!!! i have an old kitchen i need to take the cabinets off and redo.. don't think it will ever happen though! LOL! good luck with yours!!!! and let's get some pics out everyone!!! i just love looking at what you all are doing!!!! Jay, have a good day at work....right!!!! and i say, "sleep well all you hippies and good morning"!!!! L, Jenny

Hmm a dune buggy crossed with a little rascal chair, now that sounds like fun! Big tires... big motor... lol

I bet the beach was beautiful! Any time we travel we do our best to see the beach. Not many of those in Colorado! So where is your favorite beach? It's hard for me to say. I've always liked the west coast beaches, but we stayed in South Beach Florida before a cruise a few years ago and the sunrise was spectacular! I woke up before the sun came up so I could take some pictures!
Peace!
Jay

Here's a taste for you Jenny... This little guy saw us watching him swim around and decided to come right up to us and pose for me!!
Jay

Marianne, maybe something like this LOL:

Wouldn't I be the talk of the beach! Too funny!

You know I thought today was Sunday???? Lack of sleep causing severe brain fog here, lol.

HAGD,

Marianne

You gals have a good day! Jenny I hope you get to feeling better soon! Time for me to go get ready and head off for work!
Spiney hugs for all!
Jay

armph armph. i love the seal jay!!!! what a sweetheart!!! that put a smile on my face!! as far as favorite beaches jay, i have to say i am spoiled by the waters of the Caribbean and of Hawaii.. the waters of s. cal just don't compare!!! hey, can i take that "what cha ma call it" out? out where i don't know but just out!!!!! what fun!!! have a good day everyone!!!! hugssss, Jenny

I agree about the Caribbean, I loved the beaches at the Cayman Islands. We swam with the stingrays there once. That was the most cool thing I have ever done.
Jay

Iam jealous about the whole swim on the beach thing, I have never gotten the pleasure....
Boy, speaking of woodstock I feel like Iam there now.... My Doctor changed my meds and for my pain med Iam on 4mg hydromorphone but that stuff kicks your a-s!!! I hope things get better in a few days but all I do on it is sleep Is anyone else on that stuff and how long does it take the body to get used to it
How this finds you all well....
Jeanette

11:11PM!! no sleep for the hippie-flower child- just plain old insomniac tonight!!! Jeanette, i bet you are going to feel much better pain wise once that medication kicks into your system! give it alittle time..i managed to feel a little better for a few hours and saw that new sci fi movie area 9(?)? about aliens.. it was pretty gory and not to good but it had a good space ship and the aliens were OK!! well enough of that!!! i do need some sleep!!! the new meds don't do anything to help me relax or sleep. see the doctor on Tuesday and cannot wait!!!!! everyone take care and get your rest!! L, Jenny

Got new mattress box spring, was hoping for more sleep and better pain control at night, NOT, lol. Oh well, 4 a.m. and I'm up. At least its cooler this time of day! My kitten is happy to see me awake.

Hope you all have a good day!

Marianne

Kinda hard to sleep when you cant get comfy and the pain wont go away, My puppy dog is happy to see me too, maybe tonight will be different, my average is up two nights then sleep 5 hours on the third night, that is tonight, we will wait and see. How do you pass the time when you cant sleep.

If its after 4 a.m., I get up and make a good cup of coffee and start reading here, lol. I usually will try to go back to sleep on the couch after a while. Sometimes before I go to bed I'll take one of my Vicodin, but I hate doing that as a preventive to night time pain.

Got pics to share of that puppy??? I'm so glad I got this kitten as he likes to snuggle and is good company. My other two couldn't be bothered, lol.

HAGD,

Marianne

I have some but not sure how to put them on here, do I send them to you in a pm or how do I attach them to this, there realy isnt anything to do but plat on the computer,not at this time of morning. The dog is a black poodle, what kind of kitty do you have.

tweety, Jay911 will help you will the pics... he has offered and i know would be more than happy to help you!!! can't wait to see the pics!! and some of you!!! sleep tight! Jenny

I have been trying to relax and get over the camping trip last weekend. I sure had fun but, it seems my body thinks different.... Wow these meds are making me sleep alot. I can't seem to stay awake when I take them, sure hope that changes too when my body adjusts to them.
How is everyone doing???? Jenny, have we givin up on the wedding plans for now? I haven't heard you talk about it in awhile.
Hope we get to see some pics of those cute little animals soon...
Jeanette

Hi Jeanette, good to see you back, seems to have been a little while, but I could be at my normal clueless state I hate paying for having fun, seems that is normal any more! Hope you adjust to your meds, some of them really knock me for a loop!

@tweetybird: Look in my signature, there are several ways you can post pictures. I have links with instructions on using Photobucket or Flikr. If you don't use either of those you can email me the actual pictures. The email is in my signature also. I will put them on my server and send you and email with instructions on how you can put them into a post.

It seems this week has been a little more difficult for a lot of people, myself included! I hope this weekend makes up for that for everyone!!
Spiney hugs for all
Jay

Yikes! the Wedding, so sad!! how many dates can i keep setting? and i am still no better really.. so we are thinking may be i should just get married sick!! how fun! LOL! no really,it could be!! my spirits are pretty high right now... maybe going forward with the wedding would help even more. anyway, that is the story of the wedding!!!! the end! L, Jenny why so you get to have all the fun Jeanette?

ok, almost 2 and not a snooze on me!! crazy California weather today! would have liked to have had that funny mobile of Jays to tool around in... well, just listening to a little Sting.. what about you sleepless friends? L, Jenny

Ugghhhhhhhh, get stiff and after being up several times, I give up, lol. I'm beginning to enjoy these early mornings though.

Having son problems again, grrrrr. He's an on again off again addict and I get to be his scapegoat. Lucky me! He's almost 27. His girlfriend calls me, she tells him I called her, and the vicious cycle begins. I get lots of support, especially this past year. Time for me to keep him out of my life.

Going to watch the ocean today with hurricane Bill making big waves. Just watching the waves eases my mind and my stress.

Hope you all have a good day. Tweety, check out Jay911's info on his signature, he has good information on how to post pictures.

Marianne

Mariane, be so careful down by those big ocean waves! we are watching Bill move up the coast and i hope you are safe!!! Jenny
