You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

msbelle, my body does a giant HAHAHA at OTCs. It even kinda snorkles at anything less than 15 mgs of ambien.

Stoopid brane.

Because books.

OTC sleep meds are just benadryl, aren't they?

OTC sleep meds are just benadryl, aren't they?

Usually, although Unisom and its clones are doxylamine, which is a different antihistamine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And then there's melatonin. I hope there's nothing against mixing them, because on the bad nights I totally add them to Ambien.

My shrink gave me anti-anxiety meds (Clonapin) to help with sleep. None of the OTC things that people generally use - Benadryl, Nyquil - have the least effect on me. But I don't think I'd told her that.

ION, huge relief, my sister is on board for the dog sitting. She'll come stay at my place while I'm in Mexico, hang over the weekend while I'm there, then take the girl to her place while I'm in NY. That's about the best possible arrangement Darb-wise, and good for Gracie too. I won't be able to spend extra days in either place, but still.

Plus I got a dog-sit offer from a friend I probably wouldn't have thought to ask, so for future last minute needs it's good to know she might be an option.

Lucy I could just take her to my dad's or sister's and leave her for however long, but Darb has such issues that I can't go there, not for this long a time.

ETA: Melatonin should not have any interaction issues with Ambien. [Not a doctor, but daughter of a board certified sleep medicine professional.] How dark is your bedroom? Ambient light can really fuck with natural melatonin production.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My sister called. She's packing the car. Will be here tomorrow.

I'm glad we've sold the farm, but I dread everything that's involved with actually completing the process. Mostly the driving to Tennessee part.

Read your new post, Nora. Well said.

Manicure done. Let's see if I can get through the weekend without fucking it up. My pedicure didn't last through Monday (paint stripper casualties and I don't know what the fuck.)

Got extremely dopey this afternoon. Actually had to stand up during a meeting to stay awake. Thankfully everyone just laughed when I explained and one other person joined me. I needed to be alert and engaged in the meeting, so needed to BE AWAKE.
