Can't Sleep

My sleep schedule isn't quite back to normal yet after surgery. I stopped taking the heavy meds Monday afternoon, because they were really just knocking me out everyday and they were making me really nauseous after my meals. The pain isn't so much without them that I can't just handle it, given that ibuprofen really just does nothing for it.

Tonight is likely going to be a wash though, RLS in my left leg is making it hard to stay asleep when I start to drift off and since my stomach is still healing and sore I can't really move around like I normally would to try to alleviate the pain/discomfort. So I'm just going to treat it like insomnia #fuckfibromyalgia and try to get my mind off of it for a little bit.

While I write, I'm listening to this really great fanmix I found on Tumblr for Fleabag/(Hot) Priest and it's really good so far. I'd like to throw it in my New Music Friday post this week when I get to it -- if people would want to see things like that included? I don't normally include like a playlist unless it's a full new album but would people be okay if I included the occasional fanmix in those posts? (I've done one before, but it was a gift for me, so I felt like that was different than just like this which would be something random I just came across. Still.)

I sympathize. I hope you start feeling much better soon! I have really struggled with sleep since I got back from Japan, and honestly I think it's less jetlag than the fact that I just kind of suck at life without a demand for some structure. I've been doing a bit better since I started subbing sometimes again.
