Hurricane? Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaasee!!
We scoff at predicted weather apocalypses in my house. We make fun of our friends who are all flying out to the supermarkets to empty their bank accounts on "supplies."
Ok yeah it's always good to be prepared. But until I see a Category 587874894389 hurricane spewing hellfire all up on the northern east coast, I'm not going to believe that we will have anything more than lots of rain, some wind that may knock out power for a bit, and some flooding in the places that get flooding anyway every time it rains.
This is the 21st century, folks. And weather-wise, we live in the most boring spot on the planet.
So yeah, as far as mixing magical Chinese herbs with sleep meds--I did think of that immediately AFTER taking the sleeping pills on Monday night. When it's getting closer and closer to dawn and you need to get at least some sleep in order to function at work at 9.00, you tend not to make good decisions.
But I'm still here, and MIRACULOUSLY, I have been falling asleep without drugs or alcohol!!!
LIKE OMG.
First time in something like 8 years? I mean I'm not falling asleep right when I go to bed--it's more like at 1.30 AM or 2, and I'm still waking up every hour or so, but this is still a HUGE improvement.
I'm currently waiting for Aliens to finish downloading into itunes so I can go to the gym and watch it on the elliptical.
(And am praying the good people at Planet Fitness are not sissies who will close early because we're about to get a bit more rain than usual.)
Then I'm heading to a supermarket. Not sure which one yet, but I need dinner supplies. I'm hoping some of the nearby ones will still have food items left by the time I get there. Mum, Little Sis, and I are planning on being stranded at home, so we're having what used to be our Saturday Night Dinner before eating disorders ruined that sort of thing.
If Mum and her 2 youngest children are going to be stuck in the house all night, the only way they know how to behave is to stuff their faces.
Otherwise we'd only eat each other instead.
So Saturday Night Dinner: steaks (filet mignon marinated in lite Caesar dressing and broiled), fried onions (there's no way to make that healthy--it's just a load of onion chopped up tiny and sauteed in a pan with butter), and chips (steak fries--in the oven though, not deep fried). This is the ultimate comfort food, and we haven't done this on a Saturday in AGES, so I'm trying not to freak out about the calorie content.
Plus if we do end up getting a giant hurricane and we're stranded in a post-apocalyptic New Jersey for the next month, I'll need to beef up for when we run out of food.

Hope you're all having a good weekend! <3
"Goodnight Irene"!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere in the wind and rain, much more fun predicted to come! Stay safe, my Dear!
Am loving on your dinner table!
And you are getting sleep, glorious sleep...Yay!!!!!!!
Love you, Girlie!
Haha, I cannot imagine you beefed up for post-apocalypse survival.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd really just be prepared for some high winds, lots of rain, and power outages. That's what our neighbor said when we still thought we were going to be pummeled by Irene.
Also, got a little yoga ball. Have been doing crunches on it. Tummy feels a bit tighter, but my pride is wounded as I apparently have no balance and continually fall off. Haha.
Much love! Stay safe! Don't gorge yourself to death before the hurricane has a chance to kill you! :P
Your dinner sounds nice. Minus the meat and onions haha. I might come over just for the chips that you are oven cooking. I can't stand it when people fry chips.
ReplyDeleteHurricane Irene has no chance against you. ;) Haha! Stay safe. xx
I'm so pleased that you have been sleeping. I hope it continues!
ReplyDeleteFamily dinners can be quite a savage affair. Good thing you got supplies to soften the blow! I hope the weather isn't too awful. Being shut in with family for extended periods of time can drive one to murder! Good thing you work for lawyers! "I'm sorry, Your Honour, my sister just NEEDED killing!"
Stay safe and dry! Love you! :)
Yeah I have heard LOADS about irene hurricane! But I predicted it was blown way way way out of proportion and it definitely has from what I've heard so far lol I'm glad you're safe though! I always get a good giggle when people swarm the grocery store when a big storm is known to come, as if it's not possible to live just a couple or few days with out food.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on falling asleep without drugs or alcohol! yay:D
I hope you're right about that storm, I also hope your sleepytime results keep getting better! I'm really tempted to call Matt and start talking about acupuncture. That would be so funny.. so cruel.. he has a needle phobia. He'd probably threaten to kill me five different ways. Or more. Oh! You have a letter to write!
ReplyDeleteFuck Yeah! China: 1, Insomnia: 0
ReplyDeletelmfao XD love it x x x x
ReplyDeletetrue that! fuck the hurricane. we didn't get anything here. >:( i was expecting something grand.
ReplyDeleteSo long as you and the Ronsons are ok, I'm not worried. Does that make me selfish?
ReplyDeleteYay for falling asleep without the drugs! Maybe the acupuncture did something even if you didn't feel it at the time. Or the herbs rest something in your brain? Whatever happened, I'm glad it worked. Here's hoping for even more improvement! >-- (wineglass)
I'm always amused when the ignorant masses go into hoardingpanic mode. And it seems the fatter the person, the more they freak about having enough to eat. Well I guess to them that makes sense.. I know I can live on my potbelly for weeks. Those panicking fatties could probably live on just water for months!
Enjoy your armageddon dinner!
hahah the grocery store wheni was nuts when i went for just dinner on friday nite wow mine acutally closed sat anite and all day sunday
ReplyDeleteWell I hope everything ends up okay for you and there's no damage to your house or anything. 1 comfort meal is definitly not the end of the world, especially when it's with people you love.
ReplyDeleteStay safe x
