Or in music: a short movement separating the major sections of a lengthy composition or work.
Or in my continuing battle with insomnia: a new drug! Intermezzo was just approved this month and is for people who awaken after a few hours of sleep and can't get back to sleep. I had a particularly bad night on Tuesday. Went to sleep around 10:30PM and woke up at 1 AM and could not get back to sleep. I was so irritated because there was no reason for my sleeplessness... not worrying or thinking about anything. I called my doctor's office in the morning and asked for a Rx for Intermezzo. It is so new that my doctor hadn't even heard of it. I told his nurse to tell him to google it. She called back a little later and said they had just called it in to Costco and Costco told them they had just received it that morning for the first time. So I am on the cutting edge (or I'm a guinea pig) and will let you know how it works out for me. You are not supposed to take it when you first go to bed. You are only supposed to take it if you wake up and still have around 4 hours of sleep left ahead of you- hence the intermezzo name. HERE's the news report where I first heard about it.
The continuing computer problem... Scanning my computer for spyware didn't help the problem but I did find exact descriptions of my problem when I googled it and one suggestion that seemed to help others was to get a new keyboard and mouse. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse and I've worn off some of the letters so I figured that was worth a try since I could use a new one anyway so I found a good sale at Office Depot on a MS Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000. Will let you know if that solves my problem! So far, so good! Fingers crossed!
Hi Darylynn;
ReplyDeleteIntermezzo was a favorite movie of mine ;-} I've never used any kind of sleep aids but if it works for you, I'm glad. Leave it to you to be on the "cutting" edge. LOL! Good that you solved your computer problems. Have a great day my friend. Hugs
Hi Darylynn,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great pill to take I just might ask for that when I go to my yearly appointment in June. The Kirkland sleeping pills work for me pretty good but I still sometimes wake up in the middle of night and can't sleep. I am writing this down :) Good luck and let me know how it works for you! Also good luck on your computer hope this fixed the problem! Have a great Thursday. Hugs, Dru
I hope it works for you Darylynn. My problem is getting myself to bed at a decent hour. I blame it on FV :) Once I get to bed around midnight, I am out until they bring in the baby around 6 am. I am just a late bird. I sleep in on Saturday and Sundays. Yes company does get work done around the house. Hope you get your computer fixed soon. Enjoy the hot weather.
ReplyDeleteI hope they work for you. Not being able to sleep is extrememly annoying and very exhausting.
ReplyDeleteI'm ahead of the trend too! I've been using Butter London nail varnish for a little while now, and read in a magazine this week that is 'fast becoming the insiders brand of of choice'! I only happened upon it by accident, but I love that for once I'm one step ahead!
Have a lovely weekend, hopefully with lots of sleep.
xx
Good luck with both your insomnia and your computer problems.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Friday and hopefully a weekend with lots of sleep! :)
Happy Friday Darylynn!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend.
Hugs, Dru
Hi Darylynn, hope that cures the problem. I still have the problem of my internet popping on and off at times. Guess it will always be a bit of a problem. Only when it gets to doing it a lot do I call for help. lol. Cute picture of the boys in jail. I will mention that drug to my doctor as I have that problem bad. Hopefully it will have made it to Oklahoma by now. Anxious to hear what you think of it. Love and Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteToo funny Daralynn... I just posted about a similar topic (minus the drugs) yesterday - ha ha. Guess we're going through that similar "phase" ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I've been by (in fact my first visit to your new "home". Your grandsons have grown so much!! Gorgeous boys ;-)
Enjoy your weekend!! xo
You are one smart lady. I hope both Intermezzo will work for you, as well as the wireless keyboard & mouse. Will keep my fingers crossed for you about these two troubles. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHope you don't have any more need to use the sleep aids but if you do I hope intermezzo works. Nothing much more important than a good nights sleep. Happy w/e too! Hugz!
ReplyDeleteHi Darylynn,
ReplyDeleteI hope that it works for you - I don't typically have an issue with my sleep but occasionally I do where I wake up and can't fall back asleep for hours.... I couldn't imagine it happening all of the time.
Hopefully you can figure out your computer problems too!
Happy Sunday and happy Earth Day! ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Darylynn, so sorry about your sleep issues. I have insomnia, that comes and goes basically I can't fall to sleep at all unti like 4 am. on e asleep I can sleep through anything. Steve has the same issue you're having. He takes over the counter sleeping aide or these days Aleeve for pain. It's the pits getting old, I like the wisdom but please please keep all the rest of this stuff. eeks. I hope your new meds work out. I would not want to take the hot of the press meds it makes me worry. Why are you taking it? I mean not why, but rather why that particular RX? Have a great weekend. hugs
ReplyDeleteHi Darylynn;
ReplyDeleteDropped in to wish you a happy Monday and to see what's new. Hope all is well with you and yours my friend. Hugs
