i went to bed at 12 something last night. but i could not sleep.

so i got up to have a mug of hot soup at around 2, and to read myself to sleep, me being a lousy reader and all. but i could not sleep.

and i could not sleep.

and i could not sleep.

all the way until the newspaper boy came, and everyone started waking up to get to work. birds began chirping and vehicles zoomed down the road noisily. tim had his breakfast, hacking away at the butter like there is no tomorrow. mom did her hair and got ready. people were starting their new days and i hadn't even ended off my last.

i must say, the frustration of not being able to fall asleep is one of the most odious feelings on earth. i am sleepy, my eyelids heavy, but when i lie down and close them my mind darts awake in a monotone awareness. and i cannot seem to switch it off.

i hope to catch some zees later, before heading down to KTPH. i have to be there by 12:45, so there is still some time. little time, but some nonetheless.

hope your wednesday mornings are going better than mine.
