It never fails, just when I start catching up on sleep then comes the night where I am wide awake. Sunday nights most often, before starting the new week of work. Or just before I travel.

So I've had a wonderful and restful holiday week. Tomorrow I have physical therapy at 6am, then an MRI on my knee at 9am. It's 1:37am now, and my alarm goes off in 3.5 hours. Is it even worth the bother?

I never had insomnia until I worked at Microsoft in Redmond. Average work days were 12-14 hours, 6-7 days per week. I once calculated my salary if I were paid by the hour, and it was way below minimum wage. But I loved working there, even though I worked 7 years in a 3 year period.

Since then sleep comes and goes. When I am well rested as I am now, well no rest for the wicked I guess. It just seems unfair that tomorrow I will be tired and irritated inside, while I will be so professionally chipper on the outside. I hate the split personality routine, and I just want to go in to work grumpy wearing sweats. Not likely to happen tho, I love spending too much to risk my job.

And it would be ok to be awake if I had something to occupy my mind. Nothing on TV right now worth watching. I finished my Dean Koontz book, and I don't see anybody awake on IM.

So I will sit around here and whine to myself for awhile, while drinking a lot of water to wash down the SF fudgesicle I just finished. Bleh. Whine. Moan. Grump.

Damned Insomnia! :angry
