Don't take your dog's pills

Audrey is on 6 mg of Melatonin daily, to help her relax and to help her grow her hair back. It's a miracle drug for dogs, and the vet told me if I ever needed to "relax" I could take it too. This past week I haven't been good about taking my real medication, and last night I started to experience withdrawal symptoms. I couldn't fall asleep for over two hours, my body was super tense and itchy, and my teeth were clenched to the point where it was painful. I realized that I could take the melatonin, so around 3 a.m. I took 6 mg, which is what my 10 pound dog takes.

I promptly knocked out, but had to wake up at 8 to feed and take out Audrey. I felt super foggy when I took her out, so I went back to bed. I didn't set my alarm because I figured I'd probably get up around 11 or 12 naturally.

Nope.

I just woke up - at 2 pm. And I have so much to do before tonight's festivities! Yet, I blog instead. Time to get off my sleepy ass and get movin. No more melatonin for me.
