Sometimes I have bouts of insomnia. There are nights when I can't sleep and my mind races towards well thought endings or thereabouts. Its the thereabouts that I fear, and consequently, can't sleep because of. Bobby snores next to me unknowing and I often feel like scratching his back during these bouts, but he has work the following day. So I do my hair, test make-up, play games obsessively to tire myself out and sleep. When its at its worst, sleep doesn't come, so blogging seems help, I find. As do most who blog, I think.
I have friends who take pills to combat insomnia. I don't subscribe to easy way outs, being the masochist that I am. So I lay still. Or sit in darkness, with the light from my computer listening to the crickets and the hum of the night.
I think of things to do or most of all, things to say. And sometimes, being honest is the easiest way out.
There's a costume party Bobby and I are going to this weekend. The theme (or so the card says) is "Your funkiest 60s costume". Bobby is going as Lennon in the 60s. Bobby has decided on the vest, 60s tee and his (Rachel) wig. At the last hour I decided to go as Holly Golightly since she's a 60s icon. Now I fret that I'll turn up at a Hippies party and dress in black chic.
I must tell you about my tailor though. Jane The Seamstress. She is AWESOME. She made a dress (AND LONG GLOVES) for me IN A DAY. Let me know if you need her contact details. Now all I need is theladysmokes.com to send me my long cigarette holder to complete the look. But its Friday morning, so it looks like I'd have to fashion mine out of black straws or something.
Cartoon snagged from here.
Goodnight, sleep tight, and don't let the bedbugs bite.
Lots of love,
StillCountingSheepEmma xx
