Sleep Meme

I wish I was a viking in the area of sleep these days like M is.

My thoughts are like a white water stream --unstoppable. They range from everything menial like turning off the heat, leaving the laptop in the car, being ready for what was to do the next day, what to wear, plans for things i gotta do tommorrow, till they start to ramp up to a full on anxiety. Then I say "Whoa Silver!" and try to deflect on to subjects that will hopefully lull me into sleepy land. I get so close. Then I realize I am close, and then the lil white water stream starts up again.

Then I toss and turn.

So last night I am thinking I do need to talk to the doctor about some pills to help me get to sleep. I am at work every day going on 3 to 4 hours of sleep...because I tossed and turned for about that many before I could doze off. It takes its toll with the 9th grade boys.

So then I am thinking about how awful it is that a person should have to take a pill to get to sleep and then I realize I know ALL the words to Go Ask Alice by Jefferson Airplane, because the song is playing in my head like a jukebox with that woman's big wall of a voice.

OK--Saphenous gave a meme. I know meme better than anything.
