Can't Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me...

Ok yeah so I've been laying in bed for a good 5 hours now trying to get a decent sleep. It's windy out and at every shaking tree, at every moth flying by my window, this stupid dog that NEVER leaves me alone has been growling and barking and being nothing but a pain in the butt.

It doesn't help that I'm not even tired anyways and am pointlessly being kept awake when I know I need decent sleep! It doesn't help that my feet are particuarly itchy tonight and haven't let me get comfortable enough to try to settle down.

And most of all, this dog is driving me CRAZY!

If it didn't take so much energy and mean that I had to go all the way outside in the cold, damp, dark to the house, I would put her in there and let Fiona deal with her. But at the first sign of growling, Fiona would just kick her outside anyways and I'd have to deal with her barking until I let her back in.

Now I'm grumpy and awake. My eyes are sore, my feet are itchy, my tummy hurts and I sort of feel like crying from frustration.

This used to be a regular occurance in my first couple of years at Bible College - mild insomnia, that is. It's been much less in the past two years or so, which makes it all the more annoying when it does happen.

Apparently I also feel like complaining.

So I'm going to read my comics and hope I'm worn out enough after that to try to sleep. Why doesn't this ever happen when I've got a day off in the morning?

Grr...
