Insomnia pisses me off. I've gotten about 7 1/2 hours of sleep. That wouldn't be bad for one night, unfortunately that is what I have gotten over the last TWO nights. Only a combination of caffeine, sugar and sheer force of will are keeping me going today. I keep telling myself if I can just make it through the work day I can sleep tonight - but I could be lying to myself because that is what I told myself yesterday and then I couldn't sleep after all despite the fact that I was completely exhausted. Inspiration struck about 10pm and a poem just kind of formed in my mind. I had to get it down on paper or I would have lost it. That in itself is not bad, I like it when inspiration strikes. But at 10pm!? Yes, I was done writing by 10:30 but then I was so wired I couldn't sleep. It's very exhilarating when inspiration strikes. :) So I lay in bed for about 2 hours and finally around 12:30 am I took something mild to help me sleep. I finally did get to sleep around 1:30 am but what I took was a bit too mild I guess because I woke back up at 5am and never got back to sleep. Tonight I'm breaking out the prescription stuff...no more messing around. Hope I can find that prescription, it's been a while since I've needed it. If I take it around 9pm I should be able to wake up without feeling too groggy at 7am. I just know I NEED some sleep soon. It's starting to get dangerous for me to operate a motor vehicle.

Thanks for listening to me whine and complain.

Quentin Tarantino is the guest judge on American Idol tonight. Does anybody else find that to be kind of odd. I don't think I would have pegged him as an American Idol fan in a million years. It could be one of the first signs of the Apocalypse. :-)
