I am exhausted

[linda_joyce]

This morning I saw the sun come up on midsummer morn for the first time. It wasn't from choice, for some reason last night my body and mind ganged up on me and I didn't get to sleep 'til 10:00am this morning. I wasn't tired last night night so didn't attempt to sleep until midnight and lay there not sleepy and hungry until 2:00 am when I got up and had a bowl of cornflakes and played Bejeweled Blitz until 3 then went back to bed and lay there not sleepy and not hungry watching the night outside my window grow lighter and lighter until the sun caught the end of my garden at 3:47. I gave up at 6 and got up. It was my morning to walk Losyn but Beth rang about 8:30 to say that one of his other walkers had taken him before it got hot. Leslie takes him on very long walks up over the mountain and back down so I breathed a sigh of relief and stayed up until I was feeling sleepy around 10:00 and went back to bed and slept 'til 12. Not having to go into work after one of my insomniac nights is wonderful but I do wish I didn't have these insomniac nights. I am still knackered (that's absolutley exhausted for any one who doesn't speak colloquial English)but I am making myself stay up until at least 10:00 pm or I will be awake to see the sun come up on the day after the Summer Solstice as well.
