sweet...

My sweet friend Alice has been taking care of me and my sad self by giving me little gifts, and a very funny card that had a lot of swear words attached. (Well, they were the $%&#(@!! kind of swear words, but the meaning was clear.) One of the presents was some Bath & BodyWorks Sleep Pillow Mist. This was a very good gift, because I have had trouble sleeping.

A word on me and sleep: I love it, I am a sleep expert, I can do it pretty much any time, any place. I lie down and fall asleep in about two minutes, and sleep all the way through the night until that awful sound, the alarm, jolts me back. I get really pissed off at any poor unfortunate soul that might wake me up. I often fall asleep on airplanes before they leave the runway, and I missed a lot of Europe because I would fall asleep so much on the train. I don't have a problem sleeping...except, well, now I do.

I must be pretty %$&^% up, because I am tired but not sleepy really late at night, I lie there in bed being sad, and then I wake up really early and can't go back to sleep. So last night I sprayed the yummy lavender vanilla sleep spray on my pillows, then went and wandered around my flat for a while trying to get sleepy. When I went to bed I spent a little less time lying there feeling bad, and then I fell asleep and slept all the way to 6:15...then proceeded to hit the snooze for another 40-ish minutes. That snooze part is totally normal behavior for me, so I think I am on the right path. Hooray! I am going to credit Alice and the spray, and I am going to keep on spraying like my life depends on it.

Which it does, in a way. : )
