Insomniac
What in the World? • It's All About Me •
Why bother going to bed when you just know you’re not going to really sleep anyway, right? So here I am...tooling around the web, watching Colbert, doing everything but going to bed.
Needless to say, my brain has been a little hyperactive this week. I started my new position on Monday and I’ve had something to do after work every night this week. There is nothing bad going on; it’s all actually rather good. But it has left me unable to sleep through the night and caused some rather, uh, disturbing dreams.
Last night I dreamt I was walking over ice. Just underneath the surface of the ice were bears. Lots and lots of bears. Awake bears. They’d apparently gotten stuck like that, but their eyes were wiiiiiiide open. Although they looked rather teddy-bearish, I was not convinced this was safe. The ice was clearly starting to melt as you could see some fur poking through the surface. One bear in particular had me concerned. He was dangerously close to breaking through. I expressed my concern to whatever wackos were leading me down this path but no one seemed concerned. We got through to safety...all that is but my grandmother. When I went to make sure she was ok, I heard her scream and caught a glimpse of her...being mauled by the bear. Pleasant, I know.
Maybe I’m just tired but I think I just figured it out. This must be the final stage of chocolate withdrawal. Yes. That’s it! I gave up chocolate for lent and have been watching Celebrity Rehab to keep me from falling off the wagon.
Easter Sunday can’t come soon enough.
