The Wee Hours

Fairly regularly, I end up...up in the middle of the night for an hour or two. Like right now. It starts innocently enough, a nice big glass of water or milk before bed and getting up to go to the bathroom. But then my mind starts to work on all the unfinished business in my life and won't shut itself back off and return to sleep.

So I lay there for a while, maybe a half hour, until there is just no closing my eyes. Eventually, I have to get up so Brian can sleep.

Here I sit, laptop open, warm milk and the mind is still going. I always think, "well I could do dishes or laundry or balance the checkbook." Those are the kinds of things that wake me up in the first place. But I usually opt for more calming tasks to try and tempt sleep. Maybe writing it down will work....
