For the past two weeks I've been waking up around 3AM pretty much every night with the exception of last night, when I woke up at 4:30. Sometimes I know what's waking me up. One night a cat was shrieking right outside our bedroom. Coming out of a deep sleep, the cat sounded like Henry crying so I stumbled into his room to see if he was all right. He was snoring away. So I walked into a few walls getting back to my bedroom, climbed into bed, and tossed and turned for a while. Another night I woke up from a crazy dream and promptly decided our house was haunted. So I very gingerly tossed and turned for an hour or so, not wanting to open my eyes or look in the general direction of the bedroom door. The last few nights the big toe on my left foot has been throbbing with an infection. You'd be surprised how much pain a person's big toe can generate at 3 in the morning. Most of the time though, I wake up for no apparent reason.

One of the things I do to try to get back to sleep is compose posts for this blog. Let me tell you, they're all absolutely brilliant. They're also always a million miles away by the time I get up in the morning. Someone needs to invent some sort of gadget that can translate thoughts and transfer them to your computer so some of this stuff can make it online. Or maybe I need to keep Dave's laptop next to my side of the bed so I can write some of what goes on in my brain in the wee hours of the morning down. Maybe that will be the new theme of jennanddave.com: 3AM Musings.
