Senseless Sunday Sarcasm : Grits and Zen

It’s 11:52 pm.  I’m supposed to be sleeping to the meditation music presently playing on YouTube.

Just in case you doubt my resolve to find a way to sleep that doesn’t require a hammer or a high-powered sleeping pill, listen to this for 5 minutes.  If you’re not snoring, then you have insomnia, too.

So then, what kept me up this time?

First, it was the dog that wouldn’t stay still. 

 

Then it was this:

Yep.  Cheese grits.  

My mind couldn’t stop assaulting me with the flavor of grits…Ummm….and so much cheese, deliciousness sparkles in your mouth….

My mind seems  desperate in its attempt to make me stay awake.  Who the hell thinks of this stuff?

My brain.  That’s who!

And there’s always one of these laying near my computer (or in front of the screen).

One day, I will sleep again.  I will fall onto the pillow and my mind won’t bounce away from snore-filled oblivion like a 6-year-old on a trampoline.

On that day, I will believe in unicorns. 

In fact, I will be riding a unicorn with a basketball player

If you believe that, have I got a car to sell YOU!

Okay…okay… I’m leaving!  But if you think that car is disgusting:
