I am trying to sleep w/o medication.  This is very hard.  I have tried warm milk, chamomile tea, aromatherapy to no avail. 

Okay I just need to stop the obsessing and get to sleep.  I think I will do one of the Goddess card meditations.  Wish me luck.  Before I do the meditation I think I will do a Thursday Thirteen.
