July 20 – Sleepless night, No Peace

Sleepless night, No Peace
Toss, Turn, Restless, Mind Zooming,
Bill due for past days

After a week of vacation and celebrating my Birthday, I shouldn’t be surprised that I get hit with a sleepless night of tossing and turning.

I drove too much.

I ate too much of the foods I have been told I shouldn’t eat.

I drank too much.

I was in the sun too much.

I stayed up too late.

I saw too much family.

Overall, I enjoyed myself too much.

Now the bill comes due.

And I can’t sleep.

Covers don’t fit.

Covers are too warm.

Pillows are wrong.

Restless legs are very restless and so are the tips of my toes and fingers and the ticklish area on the inside of my elbows.

Replaying conversations, l’esprit d’escalier.

Stomach a little restless too.

Taken all in all, a very small and entirely appropriate price to pay.

I would do it all again.

Probably will.
