I knew it was too much!

Since last Saturday I have had insomnia. I get three sometimes four hours of sleep and then I am awake for anywhere from 17 to 22 hours and then only get three to four hours of sleep.

It caught up to me Wednesday night, I went to bed at midnight and actually fell asleep right away. I woke up after three hours, but was able to fall back to sleep for the first time in a week. The second time I woke up I suppose I should have stayed up, but I thought I might see if I could get closer to eight hours.

I should not have done that. I wound up getting a total of 12 hours sleep and felt wonderful when I did finally get up. Unfortunately, it was too much. So, here it is 06.00 Friday and I am going to give it another try.

Have a good day all.

So, this is morning?

I hate insomnia!

On the other hand, I was able to get pretty sunrise photos and you can see the hoar frost.



Unfortunately, I have now been awake about 22 hours and I have to go to work in 4 hours! Somehow I don't think I will make it. Fortunately, I can call in relief.

Have a good weekend all.

Oh, what a night!

I hate having insomnia. What I hate even more are the nights when I get inside my own head and start stirring up the dust. Opening drawers and cupboards that have been left closed for good reason.

I had one of those nights last night and I am exhausted today! All of my muscles ache from tension and my nerves are screaming. If my nerves were bedding, they would pass even the most stringent of military inspections. When you are lying in bed with all of your muscles tensed up, do you actually hover? I know you don't sleep or even rest. On the other hand, if my nerves generated a shield (like around the Enterprise) no quarters would touch me.

Why does the military make their beds so tight you can bounce a quarter? Is there actually a purpose or is it just a tool to shape men & women into obedient automatons soldiers? Really, it is not like the country will be defeated if the beds aren't made! I can't see the Hitlers and Bin Ladens of the world chortling over an unmade bed, rubbing their hands together in evil glee "we are going to rule the world, there are unmade beds in the barracks over there!"

And why are people not curious? One of the new tenants called a while ago, saying there was no power in the living room wall outlet. They had checked the breakers (at least) and they were all on! Our maintenance fellow went to check it out and pointed out the fact that the outlet was controlled by the light switch on the wall - the one that has no other purpose. When you see a light switch and no light fixture, do you not automatically assume that the switch controls an outlet? It is not there for decoration! I then found out that the tenant has lived in the complex before...for years and has just moved back in! WTF did he think the light switch was for in his other suite? I won't even start on the people that don't know how to flip a breaker!

Well, I must go off to work, have a good day all.
