Strangely Enough,

I had an extremely difficult time sleeping last night.
I was certain falling asleep would be no trouble, for I was very tired. I bedded down and finished my novel (Peter by Kate Walker. Highly recommended.), but sleep never came. I lied awake, tossing and turning. Finally, after realizing that simply lying there was useless, I got out of bed, wandered the house, prepared a warm cup of almond milk and settled in front of the TV to watch hour upon hour of Platinum Weddings on WeTV. The show tells of random wealthy couple who lay down more than my entire house is worth on one wedding day. $65,000 tab for drinks alone? Yeah. $14,00 wedding dress? Nothing less! $250,000 engagement ring? You bet. It was slightly sickening, but entertaining I must admit.

I finally drifted off in front of the TV around 4:30am. Now it is far too early and my head is pounding from much too little sleep. I do find happiness is the fact that Alex will be here shortly to come to the beach with us, which I am very excited about. Also, last night was filled with wonderful conversations and good coffee.

Be well,
S-
