No rest for the wicked
The past several nights I have been waking up between 1:15Am-4:20Am. I’ll be sound asleep, as far as I know, and then wake up as if I had dozed off at work or something. I am suddenly WIDE AWAKE and my brain is ticking quickly. Two nights ago when I woke up my brain was loudly singing a Chuck Berry song.
No Joke. “RIDIN’ ALONG IN MY AUTOMOBILE/MY BABY BESIDE ME AT THE WHEEL” AAAAAAAAHHHHH!
How the hell did THAT get in there??
Then I lay awake for hours thinking about how I should eat more salads and names that I like for future children (no I’m not pregnant nor plan to be any time soon).
Eventually I get up and read a book but I hate being a quitter and not falling back to sleep. Sleeping is what I do best and if I can’t sleep I am nothing to this world.
I’m not sure why this is happening–although I’ve had A LOT of time to think on it and I’m hypothesizing that I’ve done something wicked and therefore must not rest.
So….
I will offer a confession of my “sins” and maybe this purging will cure my insomnia. (I’m only going back to when the insomnia started–not to childhood. that list wouldn’t end)
1. I was 20 minutes late for work a couple days ago (but I emailed my boss and told her)
2. I ate taco bell last night, which is a personal sin against myself
3. I flicked somebody off but I hid it
4. I told my boyfriend I’d break up with him if he didn’t quit working for someone I hate
5. I bought a pair of jeans from JCPenny
6. I drink wine nonstop
7. I tivo Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
8. I read Twilight and told everyone I hated it but I secretly liked it
9. I bought a wedding gift for a friend and didn’t wrap it–I gave it to her in a Target bag
10. I liked stabbing the bus driver with the epi-pen
11. I lied to someone and said I liked their blouse but really it looked like barf
*Shew* okay, I hope tonight I will drool relentlessly in a shameless coma now that I’ve purged my sins.

I think I would like to EpiPen someone, too. It seems like it would be totally satisfying.

That bed looks really comfy.
I hope you get some sleep tonight. I’m pretty sure that list of sins bought you a few extra hours

Wow Chucky Barry, interesting choice brain. I like to some people all the time about their outfits, it’s natural but you own giving someone the finger. Don’t hide it!

…i think that all beds have secret bugs….i’m serious…they crawl their way into our thoughts and leave larvae of discontent until night after night we finally give birth to creatures that make us eat at taco bell and buy wedding gifts in tatget bags…
bed bugs…the true reason why this world is going to shit.
