Sleeplessness by any other name
I just took a chill pill (code name: Ibuprofen).
It’s 12:51 on the Battlestar Insomnia.
Though I’m not fighting Cylons, I often think the office copy machine/fax/scan/staple thingy is trying hard to become one. Want to see it crash and burn in half a second? Just say the words, “I’m in a hurry,” and paper gets stuck in 20 places instantly.
Then there are the power surges, and 3 second power outages that happen for no apparent reason.
Truly, I believe that someone at the power company is saying, “Let’s see whose work we can screw up this time.”
All it takes is the flip of a switch. I lost 20 minutes of work that way — once. I’ve since invested in a battery backup and surge protector thingy that gives me 5 minutes to back up everything if there’s a power outage.
With my luck, I’ll be in the bathroom when there’s a power surge, feeling around for the toilet paper.
What’s keeping me up tonight? Wish I knew.
All I can tell you is that at 2:00pm every day, I can go to sleep in seconds. That lasts about an hour, if I allow it to happen. Then, I can’t get to sleep until 3:00am.
It’s 1:00 in the morning. I’ve written a post, checked Twitter and scrolled through Facebook. All I have to show for it is this:
Good night, and once again, may the farce be with you.
Funny meme at the end😂. For real 🥺 3am? u need to wait 3 am for a sleep. my God that was too much. Ever tried just lay on bed, eyes closed? I’m sure u wudve tried. no cure for this insomnia? 🤔.

Thanks. 🙂
I used to close my eyes and be asleep within a few minutes. I’d laugh at the people who said they tossed and turned all night — until it happened to me. I think that’s called Karma. 🙂
I’d rather be sleepless than take an addictive substance that makes me pretend to sleep so that I wake up 8 hours later feeling as if I’d never slept.

Oh! Great to know that. It is better to wander around all night instead of taking some pills. You mentioned that right at the end. Perfect. Karma😂😂 sounds real😄😄. Have a Great day ✨😊

It seems that all I do lately is work, feeding dogs and cats, and trying to continue getting book written,
