In Light Of

Its not even the end of the week yet, and we've already gone through too much in the last five days. If it wasn't for bad luck I don't think we would have any luck at all. Friday my mom's doctor's appointment didn't end well. The weekend was a blur, thank god I worked all weekend. Monday was not a good day for a family. My dad's job caught on fire and now we don't know what else is going to happen with his job. Everyone is thankfully safe, which is the most important thing. I hope they decide to rebuild. Especially since the second building is still standing and they are able to do some work from there. Guess we will just wait and see. And to top that all off, Just as we could finally relax for the evening, It got interrupted by a oppossum thinking it was going to make itself at home in our house. Boo our little guard dog, kept him cornered in the the dining room where my sister's boyfriend was able to catch him and take him outside. At least it was a baby. Things are slowly getting back to normal
I realize none of this has nothing to do with writing. But sometimes life happens. And all you can do is move on and deal with it the best way you can. I'm looking to make a change in my life. I'm hoping with change, no matter how small. Will start to bring forth some sort of inspiration. Though its not really the inspiration I'm lacking. Its getting the words to follow. I'm still not sleeping well.
I got up early to work today, I figured I would be okay since I only worked til noon. But I ended up staying til five. Which is okay, I need the money.When I got home I was tired and had hoped I could try and take a nap, even though sleeping was the furthest thing from my mind becuse I really wanted to spend some time trying to write something. Even if it wasn't any good. I ended up lying in bed for the next four hours, Only to end up more tired than I was before I layed down. So here I am yawning and fighting sleep because I know the same thing is going to happen once I crawl in bed. I know I will just end up back here in a few hours. I want to make sure when I lay down, Im down for the night.
Im really not sure why its so hard for me to sleep anymore. Every now and then I get a good night where I sleep fairly well. The rest of the time Im tossing and turning most the night. Maybe I need to invest in a new mattress, even though I just bought one last year. Maybe I need something different, like a tempurpedic? It would be well with the expense if it helped. I need sleep...
