I wish my brain had an on/off switch

To say that I was unable to sleep last night would be a huge understatement. I was so tired but my mind wouldn't shut off. I was jumpy from thought-to-thought-to-thought. You name it, I was thinking of it. I got up for 45 minutes during the night and sent some emails and such, but I was so tired I couldn't even focus on that, and yet I was still unable to fall asleep. The last time I looked at the clock it was just before 5am. Carsten's alarm went off at 6:10am and from that point on I slept on and off until shortly after 9am. All that being said, I am doing nothing today. No cleaning, no running, no German learning. I tried to watch TV but even that seemed to take too much energy. Thankfully Carsten is able to go to the grocery store today to pick up something for dinner, as I have no desire to leave the apartment today. No napping, no caffeine, nothing like that today. I will sleep tonight if it kills me! Though it is cloudy and looks like rain, the perfect weather for a nap. No, no, I must be strong and resist the temptation to close my eyes and let Mr. Sandman in.
