I've been an insomniac since I was a kid. It's really awful, isn't it? But this week the lack of sleep is from staying up keeping an eye on Java, not an inability to get to sleep. Plus getting up at 4 am to move from the sofa to the bed.

I guarantee you Benedryl wouldn knock me out like a light. LOL All of the antihistamines except Sudafed do that to me. When I'm really having trouble sleeping, though, I take a couple of 30 mg of gingko biloba. Works like a charm and I don't feel like I'm a zombie. You do have to make sure it won't interfere with any prescription meds you're taking.

Java got her name because I'm crazy about the Inkspots and because she's brown. Actually she's black and gold but the mix looks brown. (One of their songs is Java Jive, for those of you who aren't nuts about the Inkspots.) Jello because she was such a wiggly puppy, still is, who wags her entire body.

We both slept great last night. It really helps that she's going upstairs now.

This is Java the day we brought her home.
