So I lay on the couch in the evening watching tv. It will get to be about 9:45pm and my eyes start closing. My blinks get longer. And I find myself waking up 5 minutes later, missing an important scene in whatever show I am watching. So I say screw it, and I decide to go to bed.
I lock the doors, feed the cat….go through my nightly routine and climb into bed. And promptly lay there wide awake. My mind racing around a billion different things. I can’t get comfortable. I have a hot flash. Too hot. Then too cold. Argh. All I want to do is go to sleep. I think I may just start watching tv in my jammies, so I can sleep on the couch.
Anyway….I just finished Stephen King’s Just After Sunset, a collection of short stories. Holy cow, if you like Stephen King, you must read these stories. They are classic Stephen King. I haven’t enjoyed a book so much in a long time. And especially the last story in the book. I almost didn’t want to keep reading it, but couldn’t stop. Classic, I tell ya.
And now I am going to try and relax and go to bed…..we’ll see how it works tonight.
