Sleepless in Seattle

Not one of my favorite movies, but the title is clearly descriptive of my present situation. I am having a difficult time remembering when I last laid down to go to sleep and actually fell asleep on my own and didn't wake up throughout the night. I know....I'm a walking Ambien commercial. Pathetic!

As I'm not quite sure if I actually slept last night, I am witnessing to the loss of fine motor control and the inability to focus mentally on anything for more than about 15 seconds without a reminder.

To add to the hilarity of today, last night I went downstairs where I am dogsitting to print out a letter for a meeting this morning. I was excited when my flash drive loaded with no problems and the archaic version of Word 97 actually accepted my 2003 file. The printer even turned on and had paper in it. With so many positive signs I figured I could save myself a trip in to the church office for the printer. However, as the paper came out of the printer I was torn as to whether it was using invisible ink or if it was just out of ink. For all I know it was printing in braille that I just couldn't see in the darkness of their basement office that is being remodeled. There are no working lights down there though there is an overhead lamp but no light switch.

As I sit here at my desk I'm dreaming of being comfortably in my bed and asleep. At the same time I know when I finally get to bed I will still be thinking about the day and tomorrow. My prayer is that I pass out tonight.
