sleep, wherefore art thou?

11:00pm -- one cup chamomile tea while watching news.

12:00am -- lying in the dark counting sheep to the thousands.

1:00am -- take two valarium root and attempt to fall asleep while watching tv again.

2:00am -- another cup of chamomile tea and watching the Discovery channel, which teaches you that small things really can kill you, i.e. carnivorous ants from Africa that can kill an adult horse overnight; and the most poisonous jellyfish is the size of a quarter and mainly resides in the waters of Australia. also, "little people" can do a lot of things "normal size" people can (giving birth to four kids and raising them? not many normal people can do that!).

3:00am -- STILL WIDE AWAKE and getting hungry now.

sleep, did you miss me tonight? i sure did miss you. where are you?!? okay, back to bed to make another attempt before having to get up for real in four hours.
