Sleep...
...sweet sleep, where are you???
I haven't had a sleepless night of this magnitude in a looooong time! Tossing and turning since midnight I gave myself until 2:30 and then I decided to be done with it. Now here I am at my computer yawning and rubbing my eyes. I'd definitely rather be sleeping right now, that's for sure!!!
My thoughts are just so jumbled and all over the place right now. Today has been a long and varied day with a lot of things happening. I just wrote myself a very long private journal entry to try and get it all out of my head and I do think that helped. So much of what is on my mind is trivial and not at all interesting to anyone but me...and the rest of it...well it's the big stuff that isn't getting solved today anyway so there's almost no point in even mentioning it.
Plus...it's hot in my house, despite being cool outside; my dogs are having problems with their ears so they keep shaking their heads in the most annoying, nightmare inducing, speep preventing way; and Michael is snoring which normally wouldn't bother me one bit but since I can't sleep it's grating on my nerves. GAH!!!
And now on top of it...because I'm awake at this hour I'm HUNGRY and there is NO way in hell I'm eating right now because if I do it will screw me up for the whole rest of the day and I just don't want to do that. Double Gah!!!
So anyway...here's to anyone who's ever had a bout of intense restlessness like mine - and even more so to all those out there who suffer from chronic insomnia - that is something that would be very difficult to deal with for sure! Sleeplessness is one of those things that is so easily forgotten when it's not your problem. Then when you're the one who can't sleep you suddenly remember what all the fuss is about.
OH WELL - maybe now that I've purged my thoughts I'll have more luck at resting and if not well then it'll be time to get up for the day and I can catch up on my cleaning for a change!
Peace out,
