The Old Folks Home

[ShrekDawg]

If I can hang on for another 3 hours without sleep I should get some good sleep. It's been at least a week since I have slept well.

Oh no

 

[Nomadicus]

I've had chronic insomnia since my late 20's.

 

[Nomadicus]

Goodnight Old Folks. I'm sleeping with the bottle tonight. A bottle of NyQuil.

Goodnight! I hope you get a really, really good rest!

 

[Nomadicus]

NyQuil doesn't seem to be working. Tomorrow I need to pickup some makings for homemade couch syrup. Lemons and booze. Have some honey already.

This storm was not much for around here. To the north, there are thousands without power.

The next storm is slated for Friday into Saturday. Unless something socks it in the nose, it'll be a doozy. 10-14" of snow and 20-45 mph winds.

The winds aren't very strong (compare to what some are getting), but man, can they make drifts! Especially with that much snow. And then, the bottom falls out on the temps for 4-5 days. Low teens for highs, single digits for lows, and -5 to -25 F windchill.

I told DH we need to top off the generator, go to town and fill the gas can, and I need another bale of pine shavings for the coop. I want to add to the padding on the floor, give the chickens something to make fluffy bowls in to hunker down and stay warm next week.

We've got one coming too. The only thing different I will do for the main coop is only open it to the side pen, but keep that shut so they don't do something stupid and venture out. Silkies don't care what the weather is I've learned after picking 3 out of a snow bank last night.

I don't drink mostly because I have to stay alert and type this transcription stuff, but Bailey's Irish Creme I take a nippy of now and then. Have you ever tried Melatonin? A doc told me that it's not proven yet but people say it helps with migraines so had me try it. I have to be careful when I take it as it zonks me out.

I'm well stocked with Melatonin timed release. That had been working but now has stopped. Nothing has worked the last week.

Single digits to low teens here for the next two weeks, except for the three days at or below 0 F. Those numbers just keep dropping.

You're getting the same system we're getting over the weekend. We're supposed to be 7° Monday morning and 12° Tuesday morning. Fortunately it will be a dry cold so no slick streets.

How about CBD? I tried that once, and never again unless I vape a few of it right before bed. That stuff is weirdly relaxing.
