end of day six
mike brought me another plant today, so i have three plants (a money tree, a plant from his work that's been growing for about a year now, and a huge hanging plant that i can't wait to put up. or, have someone put it up for me) and a huge bouquet of little white daisies from mike. its nice having plants around, and the best part is, is that when i get home, i get to take all these home with me and we'll start our little jungle.
i took my ambien earlier than usual, i could barely stay awake this morning. tammy had to come in and wake me up at least once. it took me a long time to fall asleep last night, mostly because i felt like i was in the middle of a waking nightmare. being stuck in bed, and i just wanted to get up and not be where i was. but all i could do was stare at the ceiling and think about going home. i hope this doesn't continue. it's bad for morale in camp erin.
however, my stomach is feeling a little better. but it's not completely gone.
i feel the ambien kicking in a little, so i suppose that's my cue to wrap up and call it a night. but i tell you what, the big long body pillow is no replacement for sleeping in the same bed as someone. doesn't even come close.
-sigh-
night night. seventy eight days left.

Hi sweetie,

I know it's just me and I'm sorry the excitement of "new comment" wore off so quick.
But I love you
a lot
A LOT
and...
that's it. That's the over whelming sensation.
except... what's "ambien"?
