Good morning everyone! Hope you all slept well and have a good day today!
Well I’ve been at work all night and have been up since 12:30 PM and have had about 2 hrs sleep in the last 18 hrs…I’m hoping I can sleep a bit better tomorrow for sure.
 
How are you Steve?
Aside from the lack of sleep noted in my reply above and general anxiety about my near future that’s helping fuel such, I’m doing ok. And I’m being sincere here. I couldn’t pump out 6 doodles otherwise. And my back is behaving almost normally for the first time in several months.

Oh man that's awful I would have a major migraine if I were you. Lack of sleep is one of my triggers for them. Have you tried a combo of melatonin and magnesium? The melatonin helps you fall asleep and the magnesium will help you stay asleep.

Ironically melatonin has very little effect. Which is funny because I’m pretty sensitive to meds(ie: they seem to effect me pretty hard)

Now a certain kind of chewy gummy thing works well. I need to pick more up. Ran out not too long ago.
 
I'm so sorry. I hope you get some sleep soon my friend.
The funny thing is I’m not hurting really. I apparently got thru a complete REM cycle when I did sleep and I’m percolating with about 600 mg of caffeine in my system right now

Good morning Peanut! I hope your back is doing better this morning!
