Insomnia post

Insomnia attacks!
So here goes... What do people actually do with it? Count sheep? Read? Eat? I tend to... write random stuffs, read magazines (and end up making check list of things I want-and not necessarily need!), or the worst... over-thinking stuff. Argh!

So since the latest is what I have been doing the past hours, I am taking my mind elsewhere. by... posting random stuff....

So, here's one of my fave line from one of my all-time movie darling: "Dead Poets Society"... Just cause:)

Now I hope I can get to sleep now because I actually am ver... hmmm... exhausted!

Letter to Insomnia

It has been a month now. You are sticking up, torturing me with something stronger than a caffeine effect (is there such a thing?)

You make my mornings fussy, you make my eyes all red, you make my skin dull. You are not pretty.

You know I don't count sheep.  You know we are not good together.

And... You do realize I am a bit too old for a  warm milk and a good late night bedtime story, do you?

So, if you cannot offer even the easiest way to work things between us... please be so kind to leave. 

regards,

A wide awake and unhappy insomniac

Oh I need to ask; are you a mother? A baby sitter maybe? Or simply a dork who refuses to grow up? (ahem, guilty)

If you are, please find the reading list below: 

Proven to be the top 10 bedtime stories (for both mom/ the reader and baby)

1. Mama, Is It Summer Yet?  2. Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! 3. Goodnight Moon 4. Catch That Baby!  5. Pat the Bunny 6. Brown Bear Brown Bear 7. The Runaway Bunny 8. The Monster at the End of This Book 9. Olivia Saves the Circus 10. Good Night, Gorilla

ps: thanks, Jo! 

Can we talk?

Hi there. Been thinking about You a lot. I know I have been missing in action for quite a while. And I have no excuse. Today, I met a friend. A new friend to be exact. And somewhere along the conversation today, we talked about You. Not too sure how we got there at the first place,  maybe in the middle of discussing work stress and targets and the not so favorable personal life and dating pressures and whatnot. Not too sure.
Well anyway, we ended up talking about You. How You have been an amazing friend, how You have changed the way we look at things, the way we see our-self.
How no matter uncertainty can haunt us down, somehow... knowing that You are there, we know we are going to be more than just fine. 

Oh how I have a lot of things to tell You about. So, let's catch up soon. I am wide awake.
I have a lot of secrets which I am sure You have witnessed. I have worries I have been trying to hide even-though I know it's crystal clear before Your very eyes. 

And... I have a long line of gratitude that I have not said often enough... 

So, my shepherd can we talk?

Do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore? Do you sleep, do you count sheep anymore? Do you sleep anymore? Do you take plight on my tongue like lead? Do you fall gracefully into bed anymore?-  Lisa Loeb .
