It happens once in a while. I find myself with something
important to get done so I have a cup of coffee late in the day in hopes that
it will allow my candle to burn at both ends so that I can spend my evening
getting it done. I had that moment
today. We were to skype with some
friends from Guatemala (we do every Monday evening… wouldn’t miss it), I was to
go on a 5 mile training run for my ½ marathon that is sneaking up way too
fast. And I was suppose to go to a
friends house and sort a mailing (a part time job we have done once a month for
the past 15+ years… this will be the last month I ever do them.) All three of these activities were to happen
around 9pm tonight. So I drank a cup of coffee… yumm… I do like coffee. I rescheduled
the 5 miles for 6:45 in the morning. Around 8:30 as we were getting ready to
skype I decided to sort a mailing tomorrow afternoon, because my candle did not
light and I was tired. However it is now
12:18 am and I cannot sleep. Thank you coffee. Four hours too late!! When will
I ever learn this lesson.
What does this have to do with the couch? Normally on a night that I cannot sleep I
take a hot bath and snuggle down on the couch with a book. We have no couch. We use to have 3-4 options in couch like
pieces of furniture that would be good to snuggle down on. Everything is sold. So I am sitting on the
carpet thinking of all the things I could and should do. I hate to waist sleep so if I can’t get some
I try to use the awake time wisely. Tonight
I chose to blog about the couch I don’t have. I am not sure this is a wise use
of my time.
I am going to try to go back to bed!
