Brain circus insomnia

[Drunk Monk]

Sleep is for the weak.

Repeating this old cliche at your age? Srsly?

I slept well last night what with Tara safely home. I meant to write and listen to my reggae show but I went down at 10 and slept solidly until 7. That’s a lot for me. Paying for it tonight, especially with the heat wave. Plus as I lay down to read a book on Napsnese sword that I got whilst in Japan, a spider crawled over my bare chest (it’s hot so I’m shirtless which I know is TMi but it’s important for this story). I jumped of course and reflexively flicked it off so quick that I don’t know where it went. I really don’t like the idea of a spider that close to my nekkid nipple. I settled in and the damn spider came back! Did the same thing! Again I jumped and flicked it away and it disappeared. So now I wait. Three’s a charm. Either I kill it or it bites my nipple without giving me superpowers.

Sleep herbs, nite cheese, whisky administered - setting the phone to sleep bells next. Jet lag + heat wave + spider = insomnia
