I am one of those people who tends to have insomnia for a few days and then fall back into a normal healthy sleep cycle. And last night was one of those nights where nothing I did put me to sleep, even though all my body wanted to do was sleep my brain never shut of. Well okay my brain never really shuts off when I sleep.
I took OTC sleeping pills and after laying there for 3 hours I decided that I would get up and do stuff since I was not going to fall asleep. I took Shye out, which she loves when I can't sleep cause she goes outside after bedtime instead of having to wait until the morning. We walked the trash up to the dumpsters and then took the long path back to the apartment (don't worry it was only 15 extra feet down a hill, not down the stairs in the building).
I still couldn't sleep so I played with my son's legos and believe me they are still fun now. And just a bit more fun when I don't have to play with him since he tells me that I can't put certain pieces together. Who says that you have to have a clone head on a storm trooper body or an alien head.
Still unable to sleep I scrubbed my floors, I know that for most of you that would seem odd, but I mop once a day and clean my carpets every 2 months (it was monthly when my son was in normal school and not home all day with cyber school). I am bit of a neat freak my son jokes and says that I was as clean and organized as Monk when he was in normal school, before his seizures got worse. I still can tell you where things are in my place just not in my son's room. I'm lucky if I can find the floor for more than 2 days after he cleans it.
Still nothing and as I sat on the couch staring at Netflixs playing on my computer glancing and glaring at the TV on the stand that bite the big one today. Which I saw coming last month when it would take about an hour to get it to turn on and stay on. But since the TV is 10 years old and have has been in several apartments (and moved all the time in those apartments, so I could clean the carpet under the stand) and moved cross country with being in a box. It just sucks because I don't have the money to replace it right now. When my brain went into fix mood. I took it part and of course it was toast, not put back loose wire or just clean the dust out, but totally busted. I can say this I forgot how damn heavy that TV was.
I was glad that I have saved all extra parts and tools from all the things that I have put together or taken apart after duct tape and glue couldn't fix it. I had to use a allen wrench that I got when I bought my son's bed 7 years ago (yes I put it together by myself and it is one with a tent and slide, loft bed) to take the screws out of the TV. After moving the TV to the door (I have no idea how the hell I am going to get it to the dumpster) and putting away the boxes of tools and parts that I have I still can't sleep.
