following too fast
Last night I got into bed at 1 am and fell asleep at 5 am. These bouts of insomnia need to stop.
I heard the room above me have a ruckus of a party- heavy metal and a lot of stomping. Meanwhile the girl in the next suite with the room next to mine was having sex, moaning and banging away at the wall. And Alex in the next room, drunkenly crooning away in a high falsetto, at 4 a.m. Surprisingly, the noise wasn't the problem, except for Alex's bad singing.
And there I was, lying in my bed, trying to establish the most comfortable sleeping positions- the best way to curl up, the best way to position my ankle so I won't accidentally lie on it in my sleep, the best crevice to place my hand. This moment really captures my entire semester- other people doing things and me trying to fall asleep. The only aspect missing is playing Bruce Springsteen on repeat.
But just when I thought I was a grandma, I received a voicemail this afternoon, "Hey Lucy. I think I'm doing E tonight. Call me back if you're interested." At least some people still think I'm exciting. Not all hope is lost.
