sinus pressure, maybe because I didn't take a Zyrtec that morning. I don't know. Either way, I took 2 nasal decongestants before bed. That stuff makes me drowsy. Occasionally, when I get sinus headaches, I'll take a certain sinus/allergy headache pill. That stuff works but instead of taking the 2 as directed, I take 1. And sometimes I can stay awake. Anyway, not thinking straight, I took the 2 pills before bed. And guess what. I passed out. For 2 hours. Then, as with other meds of that type, I woke up restless and itchy and miserable. I hate that. So at 10:30 last night I was wide awake.

| When Frankie Goes to Hollywood sang "Relax, Don't Do It", I'm not sure what they were talking about but I wouldn't be surprised if it was in reference to taking one of these before bed. "Relax, don't do it, you'll fall asleep soon and won't even notice the sinus stuff." |
Why didn't I stop and think before taking it? That makes for a horrible nights sleep. I mean yeah, I made a rule a few years ago not to take Zyrtec after 12:00 or so but I really messed myself up. So when at the same time Strat started banging on the door, I decided to just give up and get up. I came and got on the computer, halfway thinking about writing a blog post about how miserable I was at the moment, but logged in at Ancestry.com. I love getting on, seeing if anyone has added new pictures I haven't seen. You know, so I could search old pictures of people who I could easily imagine haunting a house… late at night… when I already can't sleep. No biggie though. I found a few pictures but nothing too scary. (Not near as bad as the photo of the ancestor I won't even open the screen for because her picture is THAT scary.) Seriously, that mess needs to be in a book or movie or something.
Anyway, that was my late night struggle and speaking of which, I just took 2 nasal decongestants. I figure so what if I get drowsy for a while, I should be wide awake in a couple of hours.
