We ought to get 8 hours of sleep every day
I'm down to 5 tonight

The clock taunts me to look at it
I resist somewhat, give up,
put on glasses, look at the time
and groan, frustrated

I return to tossing and turning,
change sides, like a seasoned Survivor player,
from the head to the rear of the bed,
also bury my head in pillows,
as if that would prevent thoughts from intruding

I'm down to 5 and still counting
Lying in wait for the Sandman to come do his job
Fighting a battle with pesky petty problems and losing

LOL, but poor kaile!
I'll send a sand(wo)man your way.

I almost never get more than 5 or 6 hours of sleep. But about once a month I crash for a good 8, and wake up with a new attitude.

(sigh) Yep, I sure experience these monotonous Survivor episodes too, dearest friend, makes me wonder if I'll ever get some sleep without the bed bugs biting under my back! (big hugggsssssss) I love the drama of this, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Heng, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
