niI've never truly experience insomnia, but I've come close the last couple of days. I've heard it described as having too many thoughts running around in your head that you can't stop thinking about, which seems like an accurate description. The crazy part about it is that its just worry some items, things to accomplish, and "what ifs" that I have no power to change until weeks/months from now (if at all). The worst part is that my husband just continues to sleep peacefully, which is certainly great for him but annoying when I can't. So perhaps I'll have to try the old trick of warm milk (yuck!) or just watching a show and head on back to bed. Hopefully its a fleeting affliction and my old friend sleep and I will once again be chummy.
On a brighter note, I did accomplish one "major" task today (in addition to making Aunt J's wonderful garden salsa). I finally made a wine cork, cork board. Its only taken about three years to complete (due to laziness), but at least it is accomplished! I just have a little finishing to do and I'll have a picture up before too long; hopefully once its hanging in our new home within the next two weeks. The next couple of tasks include finishing a stool for Candice (another three year old project), sewing (yes, sewing!) grocery bags for the store, and possibly constructing a moveable "island" for the new kitchen. I figure if I can't sleep, that just gives me more time to work on those items...so this experience with insomnia may have some benefits after all...at least for the first day or so...
