On another topic, I couldn't sleep again and just couldn't sit here any longer. I'm dead tired but thought a walk might help, so I snapped the leash on my dog and out I went. Crazy, I know. I didn't think it was terribly safe, but hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Anyway, I was surprised at how many people are awake and even outside at that hour (2am) Besides being the dead of night, it's kinda chilly outside. Are those people crazy? I guess they are, and I'm crazy too.
I'd guess about 10% of the houses had at least one light on. I only saw a couple of people outside that weren't in their car driving. One guy was actually doing something to the gopher holes on his lawn. Killing the innocent little critters, I imagine. Don't they hibernate over winter? Isn't that kind of like shooting fish in a barrel? And what are those fish doing in that barrel, anyway? Unless they are Florida walking catfish there is no way they could have just strolled over and hopped in. I'm strolling, and I guess in the wrong neighborhood walking around alone in the middle of the night I could be just like a fish in a barrel swimming in circles at 2am; target practice for some wayward criminal on the prowl.
My mind is exhausted and is stumbling between topics all over the place and my body just can't sleep. Lamictal is evil. Why is it doing this to me?
Back to outside. One woman was just sitting there in her car in the driveway. I was worried at first because she wasn't moving and I figured either she had a heart attack and had been there unconsious for hours, or she had fallen asleep at the wheel. But when I got closer I could see she was doing something in there. It looked like she was putting on makeup in the dark. I have to wonder why on earth she'd do that. Why not press on the little overhead light? Or better yet, go inside to do it???
Have you ever noticed the air smells different at night? Clean with a kind of sharp edge to it.
I think a walk was a pretty bad idea. I got the opposite result that I was hoping for. Now I'm even less sleepy than before.
Who else is up with me right now???
Oh! If you aren't familiar with Florida Walking Catfish, here're a couple of links. It'll give you something to do while you are sitting there awake.

I was still in bed! My mum said it was nearly impossible to wake me this morning, so she just let me sleep. I think it was about mid day before i could wake up enough to get out of bed :O
it is a great club!
