It has always been hard for me to fall asleep the night before I know I have to be up early in the morning. I start thinking about how I have to go to bed early and I’m not tired and how I don’t want to be groggy and useless the next morning. All of it is in my head. And knowing this, I still can’t tell myself that putting in a movie at 10pm when I have to be up at 4am is a terrible idea.
So I’m going to surf the web, too. That should help, right?
I bet reading the book I bought today would work. I’ve heard things about The Incredible Lightness of Being (Milan Kundera) for a while here and there. Mostly snooty writing circles where I don’t really listen, but finding it pretty cheap ($5) on the used shelf in a bookstore in Arkansas, I couldn’t pass it up. I even put it down twice thinking I couldn’t afford it. I’ll update you on its read-worthiness.
I also picked up some fabric to make a laptop cover. I’m excited to get crafting, been itching too for weeks now. Unfortunately, the old, clunker PC is still sitting on my desk and the whole house is a distracting mess. So I’m using the project to motivate myself to clean. Got the bedroom in pretty good order, the living room is half way there. Just the kitchen and office left to tackle.
I’m still not sleepy, but I’ve run out of things to talk about. I foresee naptime, tomorrow.
