5 things about today

1. Today is the launch day for Whedonistas.

2. Today is practically spring-like! All the doors were open at the barn and I was riding in a T-shirt. We pay, of course, in mud, but it's worth it.

3. Today is the day I'm starting a prescription of sleeping pills. You see, the thing about Pramipexole, the RLS medication I'm on, is that at a dose high enough to deal with the RLS, it makes it hard to get to sleep and impossible to stay asleep. Waking up every two to four hours is not actually much better than just staying awake. So we try the Ambien.

4. Today is also the launch day for jimhines' Goblin Tales.

5. Today is the Ides of March.

Good luck on the sleep medication thing! I've found Ambien (generic is zolpidem, and vastly more affordable; seems to work the same) an excellent thing for that waking-up-at-ungodly-intervals. (My issue used to be called "CFS-related non-refreshing sleep" and is now "alpha-delta sleep disruption", but in non-medicalese it means waking up every 20 to 30 minutes, which is even worse than not falling asleep at all, IMO.)

Also, amused "beware the Ides of March" reaction; learned the phrase long before I was reading Shakespeare, as that was my mother's birthday. :)

Unrelated to your post: I received my copy of UC today! It looks gorgeous, and it even survived my mailman's habit of folding packages in half to fit them in the mailbox without permanent damage. Thank you!
