Long Time Down

It's been almost two full weeks since I last wrote a blog post. It hasn't been that nothing interesting has been happening. Rather, I've either deemed it not important enough to write about, or I just haven't been able to find the inspiration to articulate it sufficiently.

Tonight is really no different. Here I am at five in the morning, sitting quietly at my computer. I was so tired a couple hours ago, but I just couldn't quite get my mind to slow down enough to take the off-ramp to slumberland. I tried opening my window and listening to the rain but it didn't help. I tried listening to some music, but Jimmy Eat World was a poor choice and it just spurred more mental escapades. My mind seems to be saying, "We'll pull over at the next town and sleep," every time I get close.

Up until tonight I had my sleeping issues under control. A few weeks ago I could be heard complaining about my inability to sleep every night. For the last week or so though, I have had an abundance of sleep every night. It was wonderful. I know tonight is just one night, but it seems like those long deep sleeps were forever ago. It's not going to help any that I have to be back up around 8:30AM to take out the 7 bags of garbage we have accumulated since Thursday. And I'll be awake again sometime before noon to turn in the keys to my brothers storage since my Dad and I cleaned it out today.

I'm going to make something give soon.
