nyquil

 

 

Dear Body, 

Hey, it's me!  Engquist!  Just out of curiosity, why don't we sleep anymore?  This stopped being fun about two weeks ago.  Really.  I know there's a lot to think about right now, but I need rest so  I can actually get everything accomplished.

I finally took nyquil last night at two because there was no glimpse of rest on the horizon.  The sun was approaching faster than sleep.  What gives?  Mr. F dozed peacefully next to me for hours.  I read, made a few lists, played on the ipad, drew a few sketches, surfed the internet.  Nothin.  I was tired, I could feel it.  Still can.  But no, you refused to sleep.

Do you and my subconscious have some unresolved issues we need to work through?  Is there a reason you're avoiding sleep?  And don't tell me you're trying to get on the eastern time zone already, that's just not gonna fly.  Something's up and you've just got to deal with it!   We've all got stuff to do right now.  I need you fully functional so I can pack and clean and hop on the first of who knows how many planes in two days.   You didn't freak out like this when I got married, why now?

Hang in there body, we're all nervous about this one.  But it's going to be so much fun!  

Love, 

engquist
