She is curled up
watching as others move by
doing tasks and things
she doesn’t understand.
She is making things warm
and more difficult for me to type
since I only have one hand free
while the other holds
the small cat to my chest.
As things settle down
I wonder if she’ll fall asleep
because both of us
right now
are content.
My own fault
Lack of sleep
Books needed to be read
Fascinating books
Good books
Well written books
Books in a series
oh my
One left
Still need to be read
but sleep first
then find out what happens next
Eyes close
too tired
to remain
awake and
able to
function properly.
Lack of
sleep due
to a
hyper child
makes life
interesting but
not always
fun.
Time to start moving
There are things to do
Expectations to be met
Plans to execute
People to talk to
and yet my bed keeps calling
asking if it could spend more time with me
Someday I will answer its call
but not today
My children need me!
The world is in chaos
and getting grimmer everyday
Any sliver of hope
seems to always fade away
People are scared
fearful of what they can or cannot say
So revolution may be called for
because something is not right, today!
Wide awake.
Thoughts jumbled.
Physically unable to keep eyes closed.
Insomnia creates a problem.
Tomorrow will need a good nights rest,
Tonight.
Yet sleep is not forthcoming.
Everyone does it
at some point in their lives.
It just matters when
they stop running
and deal with finding the solutions
head on.
Until then,
keep running
and find your time
running out!
Always seeing something
Shiny!
Trying to keep attention
on…
Oh my
what’s that?
What am I going to do now?
No work
done today.
The ritual has been started
The cats have been fed
Coffee has been brewed
and sipped slowly
The evil snow blowers
scare the cats
even though they can not get inside.
Other than breakfast
made and eaten
the ritual
is almost complete.
Head pounding
Body sluggish
Too many things to do
and yet I survive
Movement needed
and I run my errands
Rewards are naps
and steaming mugs of tea
