3:00 AM

I woke up hot, sore and unable to sleep. After taking a Excedrin and attempting to go back to sleep, a pointless endeavor, I decided to get up and eat something cold. I went to blow my nose and ended up with a bloody mess. (Sorry if that is gut-churning to anyone) Three o'clock is actually a really nice time to be up. It is really easy to think at this time in the morning. I am actually considering getting up to work on my book at this time on a regular basis. Not sure how that would turn out. I probably wouldn't want to get up when I forced myself to do so. My dear wife sleeps restlessly which is so unfortunate. She is so often uncomfortable and there is simply nothing that I can do to help. I love her though and watching her sleep reminds me of why I put up with all the crap in the world. She is worth any effort on my part to make a good life for her. My ramblings have brought me to a temporary close. To all those that are up at ridiculous hours, try some delicious ice cream; I suggest Mint Chip (Breyers is the best).
