2am in the morning...

Its 10til 2am. I have been trying to go to sleep but it seems like everything want to keep me up so *started pandora once again* and thought I would post this as I thought it was funny...

My dog who sleeps at the bottom of my bed is snoring and making the puppy yipes and moving her legs as if shes running as cute as that is...I wish I was able to be the same deep sleep but she sure is having fun.

I'm just happy that the owl that was out my window some where who was hooting like hell is gone now but the sun will be cracking up soon.

But some of us do have hard time sleeping so what do you do when the sheep just will not come to your bed?


I do a lot of thinking and relaxing. sometimes jump on the laptop and catch up on e-mails and other fun things like that.





Also if you know a good trick to get sleep when sleep is hiding from you...please share lol

you most likely have a light form of PTSD from your traumatic experience of being on top of the world and falling off.

PTSD is something I am intimately familiar with. It is also something I believe, only you can deal with. For over 30 years the VA pumped me full of grocery bags of drugs, sent me to psychologists and psychiatrists and the only effect that had was to loose me my second amendment rights with a Psyco jacket.

You just have to put on your big boy pants and deal with it. (sry , a little tough love).

When you think of moving on to new horizons, your subconscious drags up your bad experience with out your conscious mind knowing it and says no you will fail just like last time.

In my case I constantly have to battle the fear of success, because my subconscious says I don,t deserve it. You just have to be aware of it and move on, deal with it on a daily basis.

Face the fire,Lace up your brogans, put on your flack jacket, lock and load, and move out. You will find the excitement of the next fire fight will erase the worry's and regrets of the last one.

I love youtube because you will be on one thing and then end up someone where else and then your left scratching your head like wtf? And old dude yea, I had a lot of crap going in an out of my mind but the pain issue I was having last night was my back twitching and pulling hard and even the hydrocodone where not even touching it but came on here and others sites to pass the time now.....if it does not stop soon I will have to see if my doctor in today (don't think so)

yeppers, got the same prob. If I take enough lyrica and Hydro to ease it I turn into a Zombie so the only thing that helps is , every two weeks I get 4 shots of lidocane in my spine. It hurts like He** for about 30 seconds each but I,m good to go for about 3 days.check into it.

Yea I will ask my doctor about it. All I know is that I am trying to power past the pain and I'm walking more and trying to move more but at the same time I end up like this where my back will not stop an well you know the pain that causes

ok...this is war...its 11pm and I have not had a lick of sleep and now i feel like i'm going crazy, going to have a drink or two..that should help me fall asleep and should also help settle my back?

anyway later ya'll

I have been going to a chiropractor a few times a week right now and he is doing a great job! An age 12?? what did you do at age 12? (this sounds like it will be a good story)
