This writing thing could become addictive for me and tiresome for you all, but I just thought I'd write about my last night because there was such a lot of it.I have been building up (unintentionally you understand) to a no-sleep for a week or so now - I started last Sunday and have have been getting less and
less sleep since (which made me rather surly last week (sorry) and also made my primary school visit seem particularly cruel and unusual) but this was the first time in a very long time that I have had an entire night without a wink. I had quite forgotten how the no-sleep process works.Normally, although it is dependant on the the timing of the original sleeping attempt, I give up on sleep at about 3-4ish and then can get on and do something productive, but last night, despite my filthy apartment and my many planned sewing projects, I was extremely loath to commit to not sleeping and instead I played Civilization for an hour and achieved nothing (except partial world domination).
I finally had my 'no sleep is going to happen tonight' moment at 5:42 when I noticed how light it was getting outside, but by that time it was too late to be creative, innovative, or hygiene-restorative so instead I tied a sock around my head and put on Leonard Cohen (I have this theory that his voice slows down my heart-rate) and hummed along until my alarm started. I spent today in the unsteady foggy place that one's brain goes when it hasn't had enough time out (which could be a rather nice place were it not for the funny shaky body) and now am trying to while away the hours till I can get a good nights sleep (attempt to go to bed to early and I risk rebounding into wakefulness). If I don't get a solid slumber I believe I shall have to go begging for a place to crash on Thursday night because despite my complaints about the years of sharing a room, I always sleep better with others around.
Right am off to have some dinner and a nice cup of herbal-absolutely-decaffeinated-tea.
loves much

Hey Donna!! Happy to receive your email about this blog. Sorry about your sleeping problems. Have you tried pills like Gravol or Dramamine? They are just regular travel sickness pills. They always put me to sleep and you don't have to worry about becoming addicted or anything.
Who was your predecessor? Why was the apartment so filthy? God I hate cockroaches!!!
predecessor was Rose ! it was not the cleanest place in the world,
Thanks for the invite Lena! But I am heading out to Oki for a bit of R&R&OC (Rest, Recooperation and Obachan cooking). You always look simply smashing in my photos dear (I simply look smashed...)
Koren, thanks for the tip on the travel sickness pills, I usually have anti-histamines but have run out. Have recently purchased enough cockroach poison to sink a small ship. No more of them dirty creatures in my rice bag... gnnnh ewww
