not sleeping

Whatever I'm doing (trying to do some admin, trying to write a chapter, cutting Nancy's claws, emptying the dishwasher) I'm definitely not doing what I want to be doing, which is sleeping. It's 2am and I went to bed 3 and a half hours ago and got up 2 hours ago because it wasn't working. 

I can't stand sleeping, but at the same time I know it has to be done. It's a sort of maintenance thing, isn't it, like I can't stand washing my hair, but I do it every day (I just do ok?). 

So, what do you know about D. P. Nelthorpe? This caught my eye in one of those taggs. I'm interested. 

Alright I'm going to go to bed again and try to sleep properly this time. 

can't sleep

Do you ever have those times when you wake up at 3 am and you're just awake? I hate that. Although I would generally speaking rather be awake than asleep, because life is such an amazing rich cavalcade of thoughts and feelings. The reason I hate it is that I know I will 'pay for it' later. Probably at about 3 pm, when I feel sick with weariness (I nearly wrote 'exhaustion', but that would be an inaccurate term; exhaustion is when you've done something strenuous other than just sit/stand upright).
