Too Late to Sleep

It is odd how some days I am tired as hell and have no problems falling asleep even after waking up 2-3 times during the night to urinate and other days, once I wake up the first time I cannot fall back asleep no matter what I do and I feel kind of stupid just laying there.

So...  here I am...  been up since 1:30 am or so and it is now almost 3:30 and I am on my second cup of coffee as I sit here in my recliner typing my thoughts instead of writing them down on paper and I don't really understand why I want to do this since hardly anyone reads these blogs of mine...  but, since I am retired with no hobbies and no travel plans due to COVID there is little else for someone like me to do.

• I do not like playing golf
• I do not like watching sports although I used to
• I do not want a part-time job although I do a little teaching
• I am not good with my hands
• I have no interest in oil painting
• I never have bowled so why start now
• I am not into having fun losing money at poker
• I am not into other forms of gambling
• I don't like watching TV or movies

To say that I am peculiar is an understatement, but this is who I am or who I have turned out to be for one reason or another and it is not practical to change nor is it easy.  My cat begs me not to change because he enjoys my lap whenever he gets a notion to and wants me simply to be available.

Too much coffee makes my stomach feel weird so I must lay back for a while...   later...

Here's An Interesting Little Tidbit...

I woke up this morning at 2:00 am and I maintain 3 blogs daily not counting my Poetry Blog which obviously is exclusively dedicated to poetry...   and, on all three of these blogs, I have written or am in the process of writing about INSOMNIA...

I betcha you can never guess why in the hell I am writing about INSOMNIA at 2:00 in the morning? 

So, let me say this about that...   I have no desire to be sitting in my underwear, here on the couch with my Lenovo Laptop on my lap writing about some bullshit idea at 4:00 in the morning in the hopes that I will get sleepy...


Do I know why I have insomnia?


NO...  not really...  but, it could be my Thyroid medication that I just started taking 4 days ago although I was told it was take a couple of weeks for the meds to start working.

Sometimes, when I start daydreaming in bed at night to fall asleep the details that I am constantly crunching over in my mind have a tendency to keep me from falling asleep...  but, I don't remember if that was the case tonight or not.


I also had some crackers and pimento cheese around 9:30 this evening but eating late at night does not typically keep me from falling asleep either.


Maybe I'll trade in my cats for a dog...
