I've been taking valerian root almost every night since the weekend. It doesn't put me to sleep, but once I am asleep it helps get deeper sleep. Man... that stuff knocks me out! I barely move at all!

Matthew came by lastnight yayy! He's so cuddley! Before him, I couldn't cuddle with anybody! I always wanted my space when it came to sleeping. He wrapped himself around me lastnight like I was a stuffed animal or something and knocked right out! I, on the other hand, was having some back pain, so I couldn't sleep and the position I was in was uncomfortable. So I had to slowly peel him off me, find a comfortable spot and then wrap my arm around him, THEN go to sleep. Poor guy.

This period is killing me! It usually comes on a Monday and is gone by Thursday and usually pretty light. But this time, it came a day early, is heavy, and it makes me feel so yuck! My skin in that area is so irritated from the pad. It sucks, really sucks! Make it stop! And to make matters worse, the sun has been shining every day, and I can't go to the beach! Go figure!!
