This is one of those days in which I wish I had a post already scheduled or another, at least, prepared. I didn’t sleep last night. No, I don’t mean I didn’t sleep “well”; I mean, I didn’t sleep. I stayed up a bit late, but nothing I haven’t done before. I took my meds for sleep, sat down at the computer to finish something, and then went to bed.
When I got in bed, I was extremely fidgety. I could not settle; I could not concentrate; I could not dream well enough to ignore everything. Finally, about 5am, I got up and went into the computer area. I was done; I just didn’t know how much yet.
I looked through some things, then, in a fit, I ordered online a streaming version of “Dexter” Season 7 and began watching. It is now about 5:37pm and I have watched 5 full episodes. I have watched the pilot of Stephen King’s “Under the Dome” and added it to my watch list. I have played “Minecraft”. I have checked email, read posts, read news, and tried to fix a computer problem (bad news when you are tired). During the last, I managed to knock stacks of things over around my computer, lose all my passwords (found them), and load/unload “Firefox” multiple times.
Oh, yes…I lay down twice to “sleep”.
I, finally, got about 3 hours in 1 hour increments spread out over 5 hours. What does this mean?
It means…I am exhausted. Understand that I can’t just lie down and sleep when I want to. Right now, I am very tired, but my mind is not sleepy and won’t cooperate for a nap. I will just get feisty again.
The good news is that I am going to Indy early in the morning to see my son and I will need to get up about 8am, earlier than normal. To do this, I was going to have to try and sleep earlier tonight – I don’t think that will be a problem now.
Thank you friends, for reading this and understanding and caring about my life. It means the world to me.
PS – Went to see “The Heat” yesterday with Sandra Bullock (Well, I didn’t go with Sandra, but you understand). Anyway, language is very strong, but the movie gets a 5 star from me for being the funniest thing I have seen in quite a while.
Namaste,
Scott
