Why can’t people just stop being weird?

Sometimes Amazon offers accident protection plans on the weirdest things, like say foam disposable ear plugs. (actual screen shot i took.)

And the # 20 bus route in Vancouver might possibly be the least pleasent bus route to ride.

I want to be able to sleep, only got 3 hours Friday night, which I guess was technically Saturday morning since it was 4am to 7am that I slept, so by the time I got sleep I had been up 21 hours, and not looking like I am going to be able to get sleep tonight either.

If you want to sleep tonight, what are you going to do today to aid that prospect? Go out for a walk and don't come back until you've walked 20km. Don't drink any coffee, tea or fizzy drink, and have a cup of camomile tea (sleepy tea) before bed.

I agree, I did think 1/2 a sleeping tablet might help also. I don't haveor need them but MrBEVS does sometimes because of his thyroid issue. He can get a bit head boil.

Melatonin may help too.

A family member is manic which is why I was unable to sleep, I would have otherwise slept like a baby.

One of the more unique new buildings in Vancouver, does kind of look freaky from certain angles.

Ah! Then that is different. That is you being prevented from sleeping rather than you cannot sleep. For this 1/2 a sleeping tab would not be a good move.:eek:
Just grab what you can when you can then. Will still feel like jet lag though.

Don't listen to these guys. Just pound a bottle of Espolon reposado tequila. You'll sleep like a baby. Just make sure you have the next day off. :thumbup:

Had a hard down pour a little after 4pm today, I was driving home and sheets of water, wipers on high and they were basically useless it was coming down so hard, streets flooded, the parking garage downstairs flooded a bit as well. Crazy and one of the hardest rain storms I have seen in a long time.
