“I lay there in the dark… Listening to my heart beating in my own ears…
I rolled over and glanced at the clock…
3 am, and I was still lying there as though it was lunch time…
WIDE AWAKE! Eyes on stalks.
Sleep was looking about as likely as having twins…
Defrosting my freezer…
Or maybe using that gym membership 😂
It had been the same story for the past 3 nights.
Now, I’m not the world’s best sleeper anyway…
But this… This was another level of insomnia.
Insomnia on steroids, if you will…
I was super tempted to get up and box off the ironing pile…
But also concerned about starting a new habit of 3 am ironing!
I know you’re all nodding right now 😂
So I decided to persevere and lie there…
Blowing up all of my tiny concerns into massive, heart-stopping worries that would definitely happen 🙈
IYKYK
I held onto the grim hope that this was only a side effect and that it would pass as easily as it arrived…
That it would all be worth it in the end…
All come out in the wash… As my dear old Gran used to say…
Look out for the next post to find out if I managed to sail through it or stab somebody in the eyeball…” 😘
