So, to help combat my second attack of poison ivy this summer I’m back on Prednisone (which I also took for Ulcerative Colitis… it’s apparently my body’s drug of choice). And it drives me crazy. Whenever I use this stuff I’m up until all hours of the night and just can’t sleep. When I try to nap during the day I only get fits here and there, so never feel rested. And if I try to sleep in… well, I just can’t sleep in. I try and wake up with the sun anyway.

All of this leaves me in a bit of a nasty place, really, quite overtired and feeling a little stretched. It’s almost like the world is a little out of phase or pinched or otherwise not quite right. Certainly this isn’t the time to be driving or operating heavy machinery, but it’s not a good time to be doing anything, really.

So, here I am, blogging about this at 3am instead of sleeping like any responsible parent should. Ugh.

What keeps you up at night?
