I had a couple mosquito bites that were driving me crazy, so I took a Benadryl before dinner last night at my parents' house. By the time dinner was over, I could barely keep my eyes open. So I laid down on the couch and took an hour-long nap. Didn't sleep well since everyone else was watching TV, cleaning up in the kitchen, talking, etc. My mom woke me up around 10:45 to take some photos of the family together (my aunt and uncle leave next week to return home) and then I drove back to my apartment in the city around 11:30. I was so tired, but kept waking up during the night and had several nightmares. I wonder if all this is caused by the Benadryl or the hot temperature.

We had a girls' only dinner at my house last night and we ate and drank a LOT. 3 bottles of wine between 4 rather small girls. Time passed very quickly and before I knew it, it was 1:30 in the morning and we still had dishes to do. After we cleaned up and everyone left, I tried to go to sleep but couldn't. So I read for a bit first. I love reading before going to bed, unless it's a book I can't put down. Then I just sacrifice sleep to keep reading. Oh well, I'll finish the book tonight AND get some much-needed sleep.

Had such a hard time sleeping last night. I blame the Diet Coke at dinner. I don't drink too much caffeine late at night these days, but I used to drink it during dinner and afterwards with no problem. So sad that I might not be able to anymore. I did NOT enjoy tossing and turning until after 2 am.
