I happen to like the title Driving Miss Daisy. It would be nice if I could have somebody drive me around sometimes--like when I need to get some sleep, perhaps. I am serious. Driving makes me sleepy. Anyway, I do not recall the exact number of relatively sleepless nights (averaging three hours' sleep) I have had this month. I remember that I slept only three hours this past Saturday night. However, including a sleepy nod or two during Easter brunch, I did doze throughout the day on Sunday. But Sunday night through Wednesday, I have had no more than three hours' sleep each day. I did not nap. I did not doze. Nothing. (If only I could take cat naps!) I got up at 4:15 am yesterday, because I got tired of tossing and turning in bed. And so I baked my Hawaiian Russian sweet bread, as my family calls it--without measuring all of the ingredients because I was too tired. I digress. It would be different if I had energy coupled with insomnia. No such luck, I'm afraid. I am exhausted. So last night, I took some prescription medication which is advertised on television all the time (and their commercials make me want to scream about the potential side effects--again, I digress), and I slept for about six hours until my talking phone woke me up. By the way, I had thought about calling this post Toll Free Call, since that was the end of my night's sleep. I do hope this post makes sense, since my brain is not fully awake--and I do not expect it to be sharp, but I am a better tired today than yesterday, if that makes any sense, because I think I'll be getting more sleep. Anyway, I know I must have snored throughout last night, because I woke up with a sore throat, which took three or four hours to disappear completely. Nonetheless, I did sleep for more than three hours! In conclusion, I have side effects from the medication, but I feel so much better after six hours' sleep. I don't know what I'll be doing today, but I do know what I won't be doing--driving. I am not even going to take the car out of the garage to take a photo of Rebel behind the wheel, which would be appropriate for the title of this post. Cats napping, instead. I am sleepy, which is why it is time for another cup of coffee.
