... sleeping.

For the past few weeks, I've had a really hard time sleeping at night for whatever reason. Yesterday, I gave in and took myself to Instacare after work because my back had been really lame for a couple days and I was in a fair amount of pain. Anyway… the doctor was really cool… but kinda weird. He said that the back pain was caused from favoring my one leg for so long after hurting that and still running on it for so long. So he said, “I’m going to go ahead a prescribe three different medications. The first is basically a strong Advil. The second is a muscle relaxer, this will make you a little sleepy, (here’s the kicker) so I’ll prescribe a narcotic, as well.” Huh!? So on every one of the bottles there is a warning of “May cause drowsiness”, “Do not operate heavy machinery”, or “May experience blurry vision”. Back to the point… I took all three last night after Mer and I got home from out celebratory dinner ending our 12 week Body-for-Life stint. And hour later… I was out. Mer had to drag me from the futon to my bed. I couldn’t even get myself to the gym this morning… bad. I took a “strong Advil” and the muscle relaxer this morning and I have been wicked tired all day. I’m gonna go home and nap… an hour and a half to go.
