Up again.
It never used to be this way but over the last year I have developed sleeping problems. You might call it insomnia, I call it annyoing! I get sooo exhausted early in the evening but never allow myself to go to bed at 7pm, I try and make it until at least 10, then 10 rolls around, then 11, 12 and so on, until I end up giving up and go into the den and turn on some infomerticals or the shopping network. Nothing much good airs sooo late at night, so I have developed a taste for the most bizarre things, I’d never buy anything from the television but I am entertained none the less.
Today was my first day back to school and it was surprisingly exhausting, trying to pay attention and concentrate wore me out and deepened the ever present wrinkle in my forehead. So I’ve been to 3 classes and I still have 2 more to go, so far I’m indifferent. I feel like I’m ready for another summer or at least for labor day to roll around and give me my 4 day weekend.
I do enjoy my sleepless nights more when my kitties are with me, I’ll take one of them or both but just having them to keep me company makes the nights seem less harsh and lonely. If I’m starving which most times I am, they help me by sipping out of my water glass when I cant finish it all, or nibbling my snack if they like what I’m eating. Its just nice to know that they are willing to give up their cozy beds to spend a little tv time with me.
Having friends in different times zones helps too, it used to be great when I couldnt sleep, I could just call up J, who was 3 hours behind me. Now when I cant sleep, he is fast asleep and sometimes snoring me into a state of hightened anxiety or as Marge Simpson would say “a cat-like state of readiness”. At least I still have one friend 2 hours behind me, who is quite faithful to his computer…something I am forever greatful for.
Ok the time now is 2:24 am and I am off to the kitchen to see what I can find, possibly cheerios or strawberries or that other half of my croissant. Maybe I can eat myself to sleep…JK.
