SLEEP, my pretty.....SLEEP (cue wicked witch laugh.......)

Yesterday was an interesting day.   At least psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists might call it interesting.  I call it sheer hell.  I've been having my "off" or "down" days, and now a month has passed.  A month!  I've got extremely low blood pressure and I'm on what feels like three thousand meds each day, so I've been having dizzy spells.  My throat has been bothering me and it feels like there's no part of my body that doesn't hurt.  And those aren't even the worst of it!  I've been having horrific problems with my memory.  It used to be that I would forget an incident here or there, then the episodes became a bit more frequently.  Now, I'm lucky if I can find my way home if  I go out alone!  If you're waiting for the punch line, there isn't one.  I'm serious!  I have to rely on other people to tell me what happened or what I said the day before, which is really bad, because what if someone wanted to mess with me?  They could tell me anything and I'd believe it!  Someone might tell me that I ran around the house buck-naked, or maybe that I was yelling "the sky is falling, the sky is falling!" like Chicken Little.  Or is it Chick-Fillet?  I don't know!  I didn't sleep AT ALL last night, except when my head dropped down and I hit it on the computer desk and the shelf right next to it.  I can still feel the pain from that!  I have all these things going on....things that need to be done and I can't help thinking about the movie, "The Wizard of Oz" when Dorothy & her pals were running through that field on the way to the Emerald City and then you see the wicked witch saying, "poppies....yes, poppies!"  and they all fall asleep.  Well, not the scarecrow and the tin man.  So I guess it's only Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion and Toto too!  I'm getting sleepy...yes, sleepy, so maybe I should go get in my bed and ponder these thoughts....as I drift off and fall asleep in that field.......on my way to the wonderful Emerald City.......
