That defective sleep I keep complaining about? Has become more defective. At about 3AM I gave up and took half an Ambien; I finally fell asleep sometime after 4AM. Needless to say, I am working from home today.

Other than the continuing visits from the Insomnia Fairy, things are good in Cupcake-Goth land. October is here, which means autumnal weather, re-reading Something Wicked This Way Comes, Halloween goodies, my wedding anniversary, all sorts of good things. Now I just need to be well-rested enough to enjoy all of it.

I loathe those Fairies. And they were all over the area last night, weren't they?

Still, it's gorgeously Fall-like outside and that's kinda lovely.

I put a gargoyle decoration on my apartment door last night. I also dug out some window decorations I plan to put up today. I love October!

re-reading Something Wicked This Way Comes,

Oooo, I should do this. Haven't read it since I was a kid. I wonder if my brother has our family copy...

ALSO - I LOVE your profile in Bust. I think luluminion and I just might frame it, in an appropriately ornate frame, of course.

I hope you get some sleep soon.

I decorated my house last night and am planning my Dia de los Muertos party. God, I love October.

Ever tried melatonin? It works for me.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Sadly, melatonin does nothing for my insomnia. I've been an insomniac since I was a small child, and it's just gotten worse over the years. But thank you for the suggestion!

Ooops.

I'm always reminded of a character in a book I can't recall who waxed and waned with the moon, either beautiful and dumb or hideous and clever.

I promise to stay up too late reading tonight...

Ah, A Spell For Chameleon! I recalled it only because it's among a bunch of books I'm taking to HPB soon.

First thing I said this morning- " I bet Alexia got all the sleep."

Comedy can be so dependable.

I'm sure you'll TRY to stay up late reading, but I betcha sproglette will have different plans. But I appreciate the offer!

But hey! You're a bat! And everyone loves the Jilli bat. You've tested high amongst 4th graders.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaay! I especially like the idea that I've tested high amongst 4th graders. It makes me very happy.

Ambien

You might want to wear a bright orange nightgown in case you go sleepwalking on a major arterial.

Apropos of nothing I love the thread on MUA about Bing lipstick and how the reviewer two up from you is going, "I don't get how this is goth."

Sleepless in Seattle

[ladyjestocost.livejournal.com]

How could I resist such a title line?

But seriously, insomnia is not something to dink around with. If you haven't talked to your doctor, do so. My city (Seattle) has a very good sleep clinic and spending a couple of nights there changed my life.

I am in Seattle, and it's getting to where I'm probably going to talk to my doctor about the idea of going to the sleep clinic.

I know that part of the problem is that my body clock is just set differently from "everyday" life. My ideal schedule is go to bed around 3AM, wake up around 10:30 - 11AM.
