Nappus Interruptus

Why is it that everytime I try to take a nap, one or more of the following things happen - no matter what time said nap is scheduled for?:

* Downstairs neighbor's radar for blasting their VERY LOUD Mexican folk music
* Landscapers prolific use of a leaf blower
* I have to pee every 10 minutes
* One of the cats feels the need to bang on the door for attention
* My property manager decides to drag all the garbage can from the parking lot to the front and visa versa
* Above mentioned asswipe who has Ray Romano's voice without volume modulation, engages ANYONE who will listen in a conversation how his rent/utlility free existence is a bitch, as is his pregnant one legged wife. (his thought.. not mine, she is lovely)
* Mom calls
* Medical condition kicks in and I want to die
* Someone decides to test their car alarm over and over and over
* The horn blasting trains come waaaaaaaay more frequently than usual
* Or I just have so many things racing around in my mind that I just can't relax....

To Sleep, Perhaps To Dream.....

Insomnia... it strikes again.

A few times a year I get bouts of insomnia. Right about now is the time for one of them. My work schedule changes at this time of year and I have trouble adjusting. I go from 8-4 to 9- 2 or 3. Sounds like a very small change, but it can really affect a person. I'm sure the abomidable heat we've been experiencing and a few health problems are not helping either. I am NOT looking forward to my Dr. appointment next week and the ensuing tests that will be forthcoming. Hopefully a solution will finally be found.

Good thing next week is one of my two vacation weeks in July. I am really looking forward to my getaway this weekend and spending time with my friend and her family. It's a nice drive, very peaceful where they live, and we always have a great time.

I have no doubt that tomorrow morning, I will be in the greatest of moods... (read... cranky).

Channeling Larry King

Last night I had a spectacularly bad time falling asleep. My racing random thoughts could have given any Larry King commentary a run for it's money. Some of the highlights:

I need a new digital camera
Why is Debra Voight playing Isolde
I hope the cat food is ok
Did the DVDs I ordered come yet (shipped to work)
My hands are dry
I have to clean the fridge
Hare Club For Men - made me laugh like an idiot
Why is my lawyer such a slow poke
I should to use the gift certificate I got for a spa facial, manny/pedi
The paint in my livingroom is peeling
Images from Fast Food Nation ......
Is it really necessary for women to shave their legs
So much to clean out in the bedroom
Ice-cream
"Friend suckers" and the pathological reasons for it (more about that at another time)

There was so much more....
