Insomnia

I rarely get insomnia. Hell, anyone who knows me knows that I can and will sleep for 12 hours if given the opportunity... but I rarely am with a 5-year-old in the house.

So here I am, at 12:44 am on Monday morning before returning to work, on the computer and blogging (another thing I rarely do). Mondays at work are rough because I have a lot of meetings. It looks like tomorrow will be especially hard to keep my eyes open. Luckily, since I have changed my schedule, I go in earlier and my day seems to go by much faster...amazing how that happens when you don't have to wait until 5 or later to leave work!

So, what shall I write about? I have taken to writing down subjects that I think of in the car, at my desk at work, or other times I am not able to get to my blog, in order to eventually get the mental rant down into text. How many of these subjects have made it? Ummmmmmm, none. Because I tend to leave the notebook in the car...and because it is almost 1 in the morning, I can't remember a dang one of them! LOL Ah well.

On the bright side, I have caught up on my website maintenance, as well as a an old HS friend's blog. I guess insomnia can be good for something.

Dreams...part two...

I wrote a while ago about a dream I had had. The really weird thing is, I actually connected with someone from that time I was talking about. Not the same person, but still someone from that same 5 year time period where I lived in that same small town. Bizarre coincidence! LOL

But I have to say, "HOORAY for Facebook!" I am not really good at keeping up with social networking sites, but I have found several people from my past that I am thrilled to have gotten back in touch with (even if I am pretty sucky at regular communication!) and I wouldn't have been able to do it without that silly Facebook site. Now, I do have one friend that said something to the effect of asking me if it was worth it to lower myself to the level of a tween-age girl to find people that I haven't talked to in twenty years or more. I have to say yes. I am happy to have found them and since I didn't have to compromise my morals or anything to do so, all the better!

A new start...

I think this will be my last new start...I have re-started a couple of times and I will probably end up forgetting I actually have a blog...again. Then re-starting...again. So I say, this is it and I will enjoy it when I do it and if you are bored looking at the same blurb becasue I haven't written in ages (like anyone reads this but me...) oh well. You'll just have to wait! :)

Dreams

What do dreams show? Sometimes my dreams are pretty obvious to me...Like when I dream about my biological father. We had a bad falling out ten years ago and I know when I dream about him it means I have unresolved issues with him. No brainer there... But last night I dreamed about someone I haven't seen in literally 20-plus years and about the small town I lived in for 5 years and where I knew her. The dream involved us wandering around the town and discovering all the changes that had occured since I left. Including a walking tour of the high school I attended for a year, which, as dreams go, was very surreal in it's "new" appearance. So what does it mean? Do I go to lengths to try and look this person up? Join Classmates.com to try and root her out? Go on a pilgrimage to my old hometown? I don't know if I will do any of those things, but I guess it's fun to think about.

HAHAHA So much for regularity...

I am always thinking of things to say but I think of them as I drive down the road and can't write them down at that moment and by the time I get to my computer (either work or home) I have forgotten everything except for the urge to vent. Oh well...maybe I just need to get on here every day and post about my life and see if it triggers something.
