Cold Hot Apple Pie.
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night. I tried to go back to sleep. I counted sheep. When that didn’t work I sheared them. Then I thought, what do people in drug treatment centers drink to go to sleep? Warm milk. So I went to the community kitchen and heated up some powdered milk. I took a sip. BLAH! I had to find something to eat with it to give my taste buds at least a love tap. Off to the fridge for some kitchen riches.
I needed sweet. Not candy sweet, not cake sweet, not even sweet meat could satisfy me. I needed a miracle. Then as if Moses had parted the red mold sea, a beam of forty watt soft appliance light glistened off the golden arches of a crispy, perfectly tanned pastry filled with forbidden fruit. Nothing hits the spot like a cold hot apple pie.

You know what works for me? B.O.O.Z.E. And I want to state in public and for the record, that’s not to be mixed with Adivan or Ambien or anything like that, ‘kay?

Late night + apple pie = table top pie sex.
Maybe that’s just me.

I would have fed you wild honey and locusts.

I couldn’t sleep last night either. So, I read my super Study Bible. “Red Sea” is a mistranslation of “sea of reeds”. It wasn’t even CALLED the “Red Sea” back then and it certainly wasn’t the swampy reedy area where the miracle took place.
If you had a cool Bible like mine, you’d know all that! Grrrherhahahahhahaha!
Gorilla offers a biblical reference in his comment too. Perhaps unknowingly.

Drug treatment centers generally provide either Trazodone or Seroquel for sleep…

Moi is SO right, it’s really, really WRONG to potentiate any Class 4 drug with alcohol…. unless you really, really need to sleep.
But I bet you heard that in the morning meeting.

I’ll just stick to food Sammi and say add cold whipped cream and ice cream for the perfect combo to satisfy your tum. If that fails at least you have a decent lining on your stomach when you hit the booze and drugs so hopefully there is less chance of it returning from whence it came in the morning if you get my drift.
