Insomnomaniac

I didn't sleep at all last night.

Was reading a little, then got tired. Tried to sleep, but realized.... hey, debu. You're feeling really pukey. So I tossed and turned and thought and didn't think and meditated and stretched and breathed deeply and prayed and waited and waited and waited until finally I got up. And stayed up. And stayed up more.

Tested my blood sugar. Ok, a little high. But I think I have a kidney infection, so there you go.

So I took some meds, but had to eat with them, had a banana and a little cereal. Then realized....hey debu. You're feeling really head-achy. So I tossed and turned and counted sheep and pigs and shoes and toes. And breathed and breathed more and meditated and prayed. And got up again.

So here I am. Knowing that my neice and nephew are well on their way out of slumber and will definitely be bum-rushing my room to ask, "Hey Aunt Debby, are you asleep??"

My body says yes, but my head does not.

I can do this. I'm off to attempt watching the inside of my eyelids.

Your assignment today is to do some dancing. I had a great, no a superb, birthday night. Even if you can't get out of the house, grab a kid, a spouse, a significant other, your pet, anyone and crank up some music today. Dance like no one is watching... but they secretly are... heh.

I miss my mom and dad.

and Brenda.

The only cure for a bad nights sleep and feeling pukey is karaoke. Will I see you tonight?

Sorry you had such a bad night. That's the suck part about when somebody like Brenda goes on and becomes your guardian angel. It's harder for those left behind :(

I think like sis # 2 said---a little singing and shaking helps everything.
