"Don't ask me about the potatoes... they just didn't work out."

Metallica's new album Death Magnetic came out a few days ago. I have yet to listen to it because there is no place to buy it around here. From what I have heard, it's awesome... Metallica plays metal again, which makes all children from the 80's very happy. We'll just pretend St. Anger never happened.

Next week I will start training a new girl who was hired for the closing shift. She's still in high school I guess so she'll only be working a few days a week. Hopefully this means I will be relieved of the monotony of closing every night, 6 nights a week. I can see the light of a day off in my future... I might have some of my shifts changed to working through the midday then to keep my hours. The morning shift has been mentioned as well but um... yeah ok, NO.

I still struggle with insomnia and this past week has been especially terrible for some reason. One night I only slept for 40 minutes!! But I don't want to take anything for it because I'm afraid of building a dependency, but I finally gave in and asked my aunt (who is a nurse) about it. Did you know if you take Tylenol and Benadryl, it works the same as a Tylenol PM?

It still took me a few hours to get to sleep, and I still woke up in the middle of the night, but it was the best sleep I had in a while. I'm still scared of taking pills in order to sleep, so I'll only do this when it is absolutely necessary... like another 40-minuter. I don't mind lying awake at night so much anymore, now that I have something new to think about... or someone. (wink wink nudge nudge)
