caddymanWell, after just over an hour of lying in bed, switching from trying to sleep on my side, then on my back and then on my side again, I have given up and decided to come back to the keyboard and mooch around the intarwebs and drink a cup of tea.
Yes, despite the dog-tiredness and the yawns that bring streaming tears, guess who is wide awake and unable to sleep?
I really envy Furtle her marvelous ability to rustle up a sleep pretty much on demand. The second she feels even slightly tired, she can call up a deep sleep within minutes. Sometimes in fact, I almost think she is asleep before her head hits the pillow. Once upon a time I could do that, too. These days I retain the ability during the day, but at night it is not always quite so easy. Most of the time I am away with the fairies within about a quarter of an hour, but if it goes many minutes beyond that, I know that I might as well give up until I start getting that trail effect when you move your eyes around and even that is no real guarantee.
Some time in the next half hour or so, I expect that Sunday night's US TV will start hitting the torrents, so I shall at least (I hope) be able to download House, or some such entertainment for Bank Holiday Monday. In the meantime, I shall continue mooching around the internet.
