I have so much to do.

Chief among them is organizing.

Which is why I recorded a song instead.

Clearly.

So right, there you go.

And now it’s late.

Or early.

Depending on how you look at it.

But anyway, I need to sleep.

So the organizing will have to wait until tomorrow.

Or later today, depending on how you look at it.

Yep.

yes, I’m grateful.

Dear Jessica,

You know that girl who looks just like you? The one who has to do two shows tomorrow? Well, she’d like you to go to sleep.

Like, now.

You know, carpe diem.

Or rather, go to bed now so that you can do that carpe diem stuff tomorrow.

But first be grateful.

Intentionally so.

Because there are some beautiful people crowding your life right about now.
They laugh and listen and dance.

They do all that stuff with you.

And they make work so much fun.

Um, case in point.

So yes, practice gratitude.
And then fall asleep.
In that order.

absolute, relative, and random.

I just spent a while looking at the classifieds. Yes, folks, I’m gonna get myself some kind of job. The kind that pays money. It’ll be nice. I got all teary-eyed at the end of yoga tonight. My teacher is so kind and I love listening to what he says. Tonight he was reminding us [...]

You probably already know this, but I’m a little late to the party. The party where everyone knows that otters hold hands while they sleep so as not to drift away from each other. Best party ever. I mean, have you seen otters? Already adorable. They have that down. But otters holding hands? COME ON. [...]

I should tell you that I am under the influence of some sleep aids right now. I am writing until I am drowsy enough to go away, at least for a little while. I’ve always heard that medicated blogs are more fun; now’s the chance to really see for myself. Actually, I’ve never heard that, [...]

I just got locked out of the house. Which wouldn’t have been so bad if my phone hadn’t died. And even all that wouldn’t have been so bad if, when I was going around the side of my house to see if maybe the basement door was unlocked (it wasn’t), a whole herd of deer [...]

she used to write in her journal impatiently; she used to want to know the end of the story. but that was before. before she wanted to forget; before all she could see was regret. pouring down, an inescapable rain, when simply living was synonymous with pain. like a bedtime story, she couldn’t sleep till [...]

Have I ever told you about the time I tried to move in with The Mature Mother? That is not my name for her; that is what she calls herself. It was back when things were so very dark. It is like the opposite of when you see a light so bright, that it has [...]

This weekend was a blur, I think. A beautiful blur, but still. I didn’t get a ton of sleep. I have many pictures here, but none of them are of me sleeping because, right: I didn’t get a ton of sleep. Too bad, because you know how I love to post pics of me sleeping. [...]

Lately sleep has been somewhat of a white rabbit for me. And I’m tired of chasing it. Heck, I’m even tired of laying down in a bed, waiting for that stupid little rabbit to stop it’s incessant running. Bottom line, I’m just plain tired. It seems that I am no better at fighting off the [...]
