Sleep Sleep And More Sleep

I've mentioned before how much my sleep schedule has been thrown off this summer. It's strange because I can't seem to right myself. I could not sleep at all one night, be up all day doing some sort of activity then get back to my room and sleepfor a little bit, then still be tired the next day. So then of course the cycle never get's righted.
*sigh* So I am of course up trying to find things to do while the rest of the world is sleeping. I tried watching old movies, but I couldn't find very many online and I can't watch DVDs. During the day however, I have no problem at all sleeping. In fact, sometimes I feel like an olympic sleeper. lol Not sure I could get a metal for it though. But even then my sleep is broken up in to segments and I can't sleep for more than two hours with out waking up, however briefly, in between.
I really must find something to keep me awake during the day, or else find something other than reading to pass the time at night. O when will it end, when will it end?
***In other news, designer cats are quite fascinating. And I'm really not sure how I feel about this Anne Baker lady who seems to have had a hand in some of them.

A Shiny New Whistle

I am now the proud new owner of a beautiful tin whistle! It came Friday and I am so excited. I haven't named him yet because I am trying to find just the right one. He came in a little package, but there was no kind of case or anything so I made my own. Nothing too special, just a little drawstring sleeve deal. It could use maybe a quarter inch more length though ... oops.
He has a very lovely sound, but I haven't played him very much because I am afraid to disturb the neighbors. :D Maybe I'll post a recording on here or something.
Alright now back to trying to fall asleep, tootles!

Rising

And when it comes, I can feel it rising.
Rising from the place where it is hidden;
Coming up to choke me.
Coming to flood me.
But i fight it.
Pushing, holding, keeping down.
I am strong; it will not overtake me.
But surely there is a price to pay.

Surf's Up!

O man July has come, in a blaze of glory ... or heat. Can you say heat wave? Man it is hot hot hot around here. I really hope it cools down soon because I have not been able to eat a thing. At least work has AC which is funny. Normally I freeze with the a.c. on. Last week I even ran back to my room to get my blanket lols. And of course now, on the day when I would've love to bask in the a.c. I felt too horrible to go in this morning. Ugh, yeah, this is why I live in New England because the weather doesn't get this hot lol. So much for that haha.
I think i am going to plug myself in for the night and maybe get in an hour or two of sleep. what I wouldn't give for an italian ice right now.

The Cup and I

This morning's giant coffee mug features ... chocolate milk. Yup, I am drinking chocolate milk at three in the morning and it's about 70 something degrees outside.It's almost exactly like cold coco, which is nice. Probably though I should be drinking tea or something since I have been feeling like I've got an elephant standing on me, yikes.
Yes, sadly I have been feeling quite sickly for most of the day *whimper whimper* but I think the chocolate milk may help. You know, maybe next time I should try heating it and see what happens. Mmm that could be kinda good.
Well, I can't say this was my most exciting fourth since mostly I've been sleeping or reading, but at least I heard fireworks. Actually along with feeling sickish I've been a bit listless. I finally had to go outside because I was starting to annoy myself, lol! So I didn't turn on my radio to hear my beloved Pops, but there's always next year.
O, speaking of elephants, In the book I'm currently reading ***which by the way is an audio book being read by the amazing Dick Hill, one of my all time faves***one of the characters was in the hospital with some kind of machine that was putting pressure on his ***ehem, which I didn't entirely understand since he was there because of his heart attack but what do I know. So this machine apparently was pressing with the kind of force "nature uses to turn carbon in to diamonds." Yeeeeee! Can you say ouch? Poor guy. Otherwise I am liking the book so far though.
Well, I think either the cold chocolate or the fact that I am going to the beach tomorrow has improved my mood. I am off then. Sadly not to sleep because remember I don't do that at night anymore, but I'll find something to do. :0)
Happy dreaming!

Ear-lye in The Mornin

I am painting my toenails again. I had them painted before (green) but I have been awake since 2:30 and I've got one of my monster head aches again. It feels like my skull is being crushed. I'm not sure why I get such bad head aches, but I've had them for quite some time and once again, say it with me ... pills don't help lol.
I wonder if we'll get rain. A lot of the time my head aches seem to be weather related. I had one once that was so bad that I couldn't move for the pain.(that's not an experience I'm gonna wanna repete anytime soon)
So I lay curled up on my bed for seven hours, and then it rained for three days straight. Now I've been accused of causing undesirable weather before, but seriously? I felt like I had birthed a monsoon! haha!
It is amazing how much you can hear this early in the morning. I can hear the trains all the way from the station. I usually can, but this time I can even hear all the whistly sounds the train makes when it's stopping.(cathunk cathunk cathunk).
Now I hear the trucks backing up. I wonder what kind they are. I know sometimes they're the garbage trucks, but I can't always tell. And of course I hear the birds. I am trying to learn birds by their calls, but so far I don't hear anything I recognize. Actually though, my knowledge so far is rather limited. I've got croes, mourning doves, pigeons and hawks. O yes and peacocks which are really very annoying, but we don't really have those around here.
I am sure glad it's Saturday.
I think my townails shall be green again,
have a lovely day!
