A few thougts...
I hadn’t said anything about something that has been driving me nuts (not Nutz) because I have never had a problem like this before. Saturday, I lay around the house and enjoyed basketball games while it snowed outside. I didn’t sleep well that night but I thought it was because of the fact I didn’t really get off the sofa much all day. Monday night rolls around and I get about 4.5 hours of sleep (not bad but considering I got less sleep the night before I was dragging by Monday afternoon). Tuesday was my class and I was on the go until around 3pm and once I slowed down I got tired but put off going to rest on the sofa until time for bed. I had decided to wait and go to bed when I was really really sleepy…the late news came on AFTER the Olympics went off at 11:30pm before I knew what time it was and I was still WIDE awake. I finally fell asleep for good around 4:15 this morning and was suppose to get up at 6am but I slept in till 6:30am!
So, since Saturday night I may have gotten around 8 hours of sleep total! At work today, I was dragging BIG time around 3-4pm…I got a Coca Cola for some caffeine and that helped until I left around 5:30pm. If I don’t get better sleep tonight I will be a zombie (and not in the good way) tomorrow. Any suggestions?
Also, I have said much but the company I work for sales hospital supplies and services to hospital, walk-in clinics and physicians offices. I have cover 5 states and was wondering if anyone in these states works for or know someone that works in these fields…Wisconsin (Weltek, Nolay, Dragonflies)??? Oklahoma, Indiana, Nevada or Washington (Cyndiamaus or Jimbo)? I am not looking for anyone to actually give me business more than I am looking for someone that could say, “hey…listen to what this guy is pushing”. Hey…it never hurts to ask!
I am off to other blogs and don’t know if I will make it to OT tonight but if these states ring a bell with someone you chat with over there please tell them to drop me a red wavy flagy thingy if they can help.
Also, happy hump day everyone!
BTW: Kahlua waited until the wee hours of VD to give me my present…around 2:17am (but who looked at the clock) Kahlua thought it was very urgent to leap from the center of the bed (barking as loud as she could while in mid-air) and practically bounce off the window a good 3 feet away. She continued to bark (the GET.OUT.OF.MY.DAMN.YARD bark!) so I got up and open the blinds. We were greeted with a really cute beige cat sitting looking at us about 3 feet away! After my heart dropped back into my chest from my throat I opened the door and made the cat go away. Kahlua stood guard another 45 mins just to make sure I was safe from said cat!

Oh my gosh, vols! A cat in your yard? You are so. lucky. your dog warned you. That cat might have sat there. Or sniffed something! I'm glad you're safe. :D
Kaluha is a good dog. Our dog used to defend us from odd noises outside and squirrels on TV. But not dinosaurs on TV. She wasn't stupid, after all.
Hope you can get a good night's sleep tonight.

Do you think maybe you were stressed about the new job? ... or excited about it? That could've been the cause of the not sleeping so much. It's a big change for you!
*pouts* that NJ is not in your territory.
*pats Kahlua* Good dog!

I can sympathize with the no sleep thing. It happens to me all the time and I've just sort of gotten used to it.

Hope you get some rest. I feel bad for you. Hope work continues to go well.
If you go to Twisted (link on my sidebar for peeps on my blog) he works for a major hospital in Oklahoma. I think he works in the IT dept, but might be able to give you a contact or something. He is a real cool guy. Hope that lead helps you.

Yes Doc I think that your new job is causing the sleeplessness. Just a big change and I am sure it will settle down.
There is a bad way to be a zombie? *boggle* :)

Thanks Sonya! I will pick up on that tonight.
Just taking a break for lunch and checking in. I slept better lastnight 5 hours uninterrupted! That isn't the best for me but it will do.
*whacks* Zombs!

Wow, you've got to get some sleep! Try some OTC drugs for a few days, just to get you back on track.
I work at UW Hospital & Clinics in Madison...but not FOR them. I work for the School of Nursing. What kind of products do you sell? Perhaps I could find a connection. And then? Vols could come to visit!

Sorry you've been having trouble sleeping. Try some Tylenol PM...works for me, especially mixed with a good amount of Skyy and water! ;-)
Take care.

Nights like that you wish you had a mute button for the dog! ;-) But hey, the cat might have been a dangerous one, so it's better off to play it safe...
My only hospital contact is a lady at my church who is a nurse.

I can't help too much because I never have trouble sleeping once my head comes into contact with a pillow.
My problem latelt has been staying up *way* too late, *way* too often.
5:39 PM
Sorry about the sleep problem. I'm supposed to be resting tonight (from the trip) but I'm here. Blogs are keeping me awake!
7:31 PM
At least Kahlua was warning you about something dangerous like a cat. Arkieboy had a dog that would bark at wasps and bees.
Hope the sleep thing gets better.
8:50 PM
I told Twisted he might be hearing from you.
