Insomnia

So, today was an ok day. I got a total of three hours of sleep last night due to the excitement from Girls Night Out and insomnia the meds have cursed me with. Then again, I have found myself laying in bed staring at the neon blue fan spinning above my head wondering if it's really insomnia or if my excitement level has dropped to a one year old. My doctor warned me about the insomnia but there are times I think I'm afraid to go to sleep because I might miss something!

Anyways, I woke up early and cooked some homemade pancakes with some jalapeno and cheese deer sausage. Now, I know what you are thinking and no I didn't partake in the comsumption of the delicious smelling sausage because it had jalapenos and cheese - being on this strict diet, those are two major NO-NOs! Although, I enjoyed devouring the pancakes with a glass of chocolate soy milk.

After an hour of letting my breakfast digest, I decided to lay down for a little more sleep. About an hour and a half later, I was woken up to a phone call from my mom asking me to join her for a "girls" luncheon. Of course I couldn't pass up on spending an hour with my mom inhaling lunch as we admire each other's company. I often dream about spending more one on one time with my mom; though, time has changed.

Later that night, I decided to cook a new recipe from my Crohn's cookbook: Marinated Portobello Burgers with french fries. Even though the recipe doesn't call for it, I will admit that I added a small meat patty to my burger. I thought it was very tasty. In fact, it tasted like an enormous mushroom burger with a slight Italian dressing zest.

The rest of my night wasn't really anymore entertaining. I put on some music and responded a few emails before going bed. Though, I am getting tired now, so I hope you all have factastic dreams! Until tomorrow...

That marinated portobello burger sounds yummy! I've found that fresh mushrooms are worse for my Crohn's than most other produce, but my tummy is quite happy with shroomies after they're cooked.
