Sleep

Awake all night, my mind in a buzz, gathering my thoughts, floating in a fuzz. Yawning, and thinking, I need to rest, watching the clock, glowing on my desk. Turn on the tv, watch a movie or two at three in the morning, not much else to do. Maybe tonight, I'll sleep like a log, escaping the confusion, lurking in the fog.

I know the feeling. I hope you'll get longer waltzes with Morpheus soon! Triple V to you Christy: Vim, Vigour and Vitality... Sleep tight! I can feel the twinge of frustration you have because of this. It's still a twinge though, hope rest takes it all away!
