Insomnia

The thing about insomnia is that you don't sleep. Not sleeping is not cool. Should I stay up all night watching movies or engrossed in a great book, well that is fine. Time was (mind you I was much younger then) I would stay up all night just to watch the sunrise. Last night I had such back spasms I could not sleep. Then I started to think...that is a bad idea. Thinking when you should be sleeping I do not recommend there were a fresh box of donut holes in the kitchen, I thought I should not get up and eat them-though they seemed to be calling me. Then I started worrying because I could not find Jacob's pebble from Pebble Beach and he needs it today because he is playing in the six man tournament-I Checked my backpack oh ten times or so...could not find it. Of course I could not find it because it was not in my backpack, it was on the table next to the talking donut holes. My next course of action was music-listened to every song on my "go to sleep" playlist...twice! Television was no help(I think I need that Shamu thing and maybe one of those hanging upside down things) left with no other recourse I went to old faithful(all pun intended) I said Hail Mary's. Thought of people and said a Hail Mary for them. Prayed for soldiers overseas, politicians, aged people living in nursing homes waiting for company which never arrives. I prayed for the children who were not asleep because they were afraid to close their eyes and for the children with no place to sleep. I talked to God about life. He is not much of a conversationalist at 3:00 am. Reckon he was asleep. If you have a particularly great day today it is no doubt the prayer I said for you last night. I think I should take a nap or not. Better to stay awake all day, wear myself out, then tonight I will sleep. The donut holes must go-they talk to much. I found Jacob's pebble. Though I wish I could I can't solve the ills of this world nor protect those who cannot protect themselves-insomnia, it is not for the tired-boy am I tired!
