Too much reading - not near enough sleep!

Tweet

I have no idea how I'm still awake and functioning, yet here I sit. I've taken a sleeping pill and now we wait to see if it kicks in. Ever. Sometimes it works perfectly and other times I have to wait hours. But it's the weekend and I don't have anything else to do, so I don't mind. I was up ALL last night and into the morning finishing up that Stephen King book. I just could not put it down and I HAD to finish it. Those are the writers I love. They take me completely out of myself. I didn't care if I was eating or sleeping. I just had to devour all those words! I tried to sleep this afternoon. My cat, Timothy, got a lot of good sleep snugged right up against me. He was very hot and that's part of the reason I couldn't sleep. It was like sleeping next to an oven in summer. But I closed my eyes and revisited loved ones and happy places and I think I got some good rest. Now I've picked up the 5th book in Chelsea Cain's Beauty Killer series. My niece is already about halfway done with the book and it was going to be a race until I got my hands on Mr. King's latest novel. So now I'm sure I can catch up with my niece and even surpass her! We've started our own two person book club talking about these horrible books we're reading! Good thing some of the plot likes are so awful that they make us laugh.My sister had a twisted sense of humor and my niece and I have just enough of it to get through anything. That's part of the glue that holds us together, I think. Well, I'll be writing more. Life has gotten a little...challenging lately. I hope all of you are doing much, much better!
