Sleep and Allergy Shots

I don't really know why sleep is alluding me this week. Thanksgiving is over. I'm caught up on my paperwork....well, I was until today. Last night I woke at 2:30AM and never really got back to sleep. I got up and went to the couch around 4 and watched a Meryl Streep movie that wasn't too bad.

Slept from 6:00-6:30 and then peeled myself up to get ready to go in to the allergy clinic for my weekly allergy shots. Ugh. I can't wait until I build up enough so that I don't have to go in weekly. Since I am getting an allergy shot and a venom shot as well, I have to wait for an HOUR after getting the injection!!!

I was so cranky in there today that I got up and told off a guy who was talking on his cell phone really loud. (His unlucky day) It was really inappropriate since he is a physical therapist and was calling his clients or their parents and calling their names and discussing their progress, making appointments,etc. Talk about messing up the HIPPA laws!!! There is a clear sign on the wall that most people can see that asks people to have respect for others in the waiting room and not use their cell phones. I couldn't stand it any longer and felt much better after asking him to be considerate and reminding him of his violation of HIPPA. Just his unlucky day to run across me with only 3 hours of sleep. Then I was off to work to see parents and clients all day until 5:00, THEN supervision for an hour.

Tonight, I just fell asleep sitting up on the couch filling out forms for an intake I have scheduled tomorrow at 3:00. So Steve came and woke me up and I got up and have moved to the bed to do a bit of "fun" before dozing. Yes, people, this is my version of "fun" for the day.

I spend time almost every day teaching others how to relax and improve their sleep, yet it seems sometimes I randomly go through periods of time when I cannot sleep. It doesn't help that I look over at Steve who sleeps like a baby and could literally sleep through a small tornado whipping its way through our bedroom. How I envy him sometimes.

Well, I'm going to go for now and see if I can start counting sheep or something.
