Bittersweet Insomnia

I've been averaging at least one night a week of insomnia over the past few months, and the most frustrating thing about insomnia is that all of a sudden you have all of the time that you need in order to get what you need done.....but you have no motivation whatsoever to do a damn thing.
For example, this morning I was up a little bit before 4am and decided to read in the hopes that it would tire me out enough to sleep.
Finished my book and wasn't tired.
What to do, what to do?
I could do dishes....they are threatening to to take over the kitchen.... nah, I can do them later.
Practice the piano? I think that my neighbor would be angry at the piano at 5 in the morning.
Work on the millions of other volunteer projects that I need to get done? Well....I tried, but got bored after about five minutes.
I ended up taking a shower and slowly walking to work. I didn't walk the whole way, just until the bus came on the street...I just walked from stop to stop to stop. At least it was a wonderful morning....let's just hope that it stays that way.

You can add Howard County Maryland to the list of "As Mr. 3 Continues" saga. Police report was filed today 5/29/09. Seems he has been in the every state "striking" again where there are warrants in place... Can't wait for your book... (if your serious...) everyone I have talked to in law enforcement wants a copy..

Congrats on your graduation... and try melatonin for the insomnia... it's a natural over the counter vitamin supplement and it works...
