What's Up with This?

Geeez Louise, I've gone to bed twice tonight and was so sleepy and soooooo tired, and yet, here I am. Couldn't even stay awake for Antiques Roadshow the first time and headed up the stairs happily anticipating a snuggly bed and sweet dreams, but then the tossing and turning began.

My nightly ritual is to lean back and settle onto my wonderful old pillow that's losing more fluff with every day; it is easy to push and pull and squeeze into the most comfy shapes. Then, I turn onto my right side for a while and just before I know I'm going to doze off, turn onto my left side and float away into sleep. Oh, and beginning the process, put on my Darth Vader mask.

The other night Mark missed a great chance - I said 'Night Yoda' fully leaving the opportunity open for him to say in return 'Night Darth' and he was already starting to buzz. He doesn't usually snore as much as he just buzzes. I, on the other hand, breathe like I'm having the life force sucked out of me so when I say 'Night Yoda', it sounds more like 'Dight Nona'. The joys of a CPAP machine....

However, tonight nothing is working. Is  it that humongo turkey burger Mark made for dinner tonight? Pumpkin pie with white lipped cream? Hearing some news that is a bit disturbing (and in a sick way, kind of humorous?) Watching too many horror movie clips tonight (I will never EVER eat slit plea soup again?) Who knows? All I do know for sure is that while I'm yawning widely enough to split my jaw in two, I can't turn off my brain. Mark buzzes breathing; I buzz notsleeping. And for some wacko reason, my words have been getting mixed up all day, as you may have noticed with white lipped cream and slit plea soup? Maybe I've got a migraine headed my way, LOL. Pun pun pun.

Oh wow, I really do need to go to sleep. Now I've taken 3 aspirins and a calcium magnesium pill too, because they're both supposed to help  - aspirin for aggravated knee and cal-mag because it settles and calms frazzled nerves. Now, if there was only a magic potion for tossing and turning... I know what I'll do. Anybody ever read the book of Isaiah in the Bible? Most boring bit of anything ever written and it used to put me right to sleep. If it works, I'll be able to quote the 'begats' in the morning!  Isaiah begat Whosit, who slept for 20 years ~ or was that somebody else? sure not me!
