What causes this?
For the past few weeks I have had an impossible time staying asleep throughout the entire night.
I have my suspicions, but what do I know:
1) My job makes me think and care about too many people
2) We are starting to read "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and I am eager
3) I didn't run as much as planned this week
4) I ate dinner too late tonight (about 9pm)
5) I didn't stretch the run all the way out of my body this afternoon
6) It is my mind's way of tricking me into some alone time
All of these theories are merely that, theories. I have an extremely busy day tomorrow (early morning meetings, I am being observed, more meetings, three classes to teach, the last day of the week for students, and I could go on and on and on...), but I have similarly busy days every single day. It is not work, it is something else. Or, maybe it is work and a combination of other things...but what?
Here are the precautions I took today, in order to stay asleep:
1) One, and only one, piece of chocolate at 4ish
2) No coffee since 9am
3) Slow run with Keba around 6pm
It is now 3:33am and there are no glimmers of sunrays, no chance I am fighting this the strangely cold air, and no hope that friends want to hear from me now. I just have to figure this out. This is odd, eh? Sing me a lullaby please, or come and tuck me in and sprinkle some fairy sleeping dust over me, pretty please!

it is now 5:16, a voice bellows from the bed and i will try to surcome to its urging for me to join in sleep. i am doubtful, yet, maybe this is the problem?
Daughter of mine
we need to talk about this. Love ya
Oh, mother of mine...this is exactly what I have been telling you about. Drop some motherly advice that will rock me to sleep, please!
