Sleepless in Calgary

edit: I just realized some of you might get the wrong impression from the title of this blog. Sorry to say I'm sleepless for no good reasons, only stupid ones.

I have dealt with insomnia off and on over the past few years. I'm currently going through one of my sleepless phases. Last year, my doctor gave me some great, drug-free, Vulcan mind control techniques to combat insomnia. I know they would work again now, but I'm far too grumpy and stubborn to take care of myself right now.

Pretty stupid, I know. But I'll be damned if I want to can break the habit. I just need to indulge myself and wallow in a wee pity party.

Besides, if I stay up late (1:35am) I get to sing what I call my "Song of the Insomniac."

It's hard to stay up
It's been a long, long day
And you've got the sandman at your door.

But hang on, leave the TV on
and let's do it anyway.

It's okay.
Tomorrow's just your future yesterday.

I sing along with that (rather loudly) and suddenly I'm smiling.


Note to self: remove TV from bedroom. Ha! It will never happen.

...maybe all this is why I'm still single.
