Sleepy go night night!!


I don’t know what it is, but I do my best thinking at night.

Well that isn’t exactly true. I do my best “let me ponder the meaning of life” at night. Or rather anytime from like 2-6 am depending.

You could also call it my “let’s run through every regret, hurt, angst filled, unhappy moment of your life” pondering. You choose! It is all the same.

The thing is, when I am thinking about all of that Negative Nelly junk, I think of it in blog speak. How would I write about it, what would I say and how. Then, I finally fall back to sleep for however long, wake up later, and all of my thoughtful mental soliloquies are gone.

Or, if I am not being nocturnally introspective, I am having odd ball dreams incorporating gosh knows what with people I feel certain I have never seen before. That is not unusual. I think most people have odd dreams. The odd part is the dialogue; scenes etc. are set, reviewed and replayed as though I were reading a book.

It’s almost like a book on tape/cd. It is being read/thought/spoken instantaneously and my mind “sees” whatever it does just like I were reading a book and imagining what the author is trying to convey.

Whether dreaming or quasi awake, me thinks that having a ginormous cat/goat cat sleeping on my head is prolly not conducive to a good night’s rest. I’m just sayin’…………..

I rarely remember my dreams, but the few times I do they're so peculiar (but in a dull way) that I don't feel I'm losing out.

Well, I can't say as I remember mine either, after the fact, but I know when I am in it and I then have hazy recollections!

Dear Nocturnally Introspective Nelly, are you kidding, or being metaphorical or something, or do you really sleep with a cat curled up around your head? Because if you do that would explain everything. S'wonder you don't have screaming nightmares.

No kiddin' about it. That dang cat moves EVERY time I turnover. She doesn't sleep on it really just right up close. Nostril hair close. I turn one way she gets on that side, I turn another she does the same and if I sleep on my back and she is at the top of my head....ACHOOO! She sneezes. ECK!

Holy Moses, Ape. I'm cringing at the thought. Ain't any wonder your mind's all over the place at night. Hmm, maybe you'll sleep better if you trim your nasal hair.
