1/06/09 - Awake and Waiting

This insomnia (waking up before dawn and laying there for 2 hours is insomnia for sureness) is annoying but I am sure If I plan my caffeine schedule, and or take some sleep meds sparingly I can be ready for bed at a reasonable hour more than once or twice a week.

I think it is just I have so much on my mind, both in my life and creatively that I have to get them all done before I can finally sleep and sleep well.

I have books to write, vacation plans to make, bills to pay, and my desktop PC that I use to make music and burn CDs finally gave up the ghost (boot sector with funky symbols). The Desktop PC and the bills will be handled in due time. But I really have to sit down and write the books and stories and any music in my head will be focused on when I get the new PC.
(Thank Goodness for the Mac laptop and the backup External). If I did not have the access I do to the information world and my online friends I would be highly upset. But since I have the high-speed cable, the laptop in the living room and the big TV to watch at the same time, all is still well.

Last weekend was a lot. New Years meant that the weekend started early. Wednesday Night watching Amber and Zelma Davis perform, well as a trip to Roseland Ballroom with the New Years detritus of Times Square still blowing as I ran to the club. I hung out with Marta and saw Joon before I had to head home before I fell asleep on my feet. I even went out Thursday Night with Dwayne and danced until 4am and took a taxi home. I had a lot of fun two days in a row but decided to take Friday off to rest and recover. (Sorry Mo.) Saturday was spent shopping in NJ where the taxes were low and the selection was nice. After a late afternoon nap I was ready to jump into my Saturday Night with both feet. With Russ and The Jimmy both off to G Lounge I headed over to GymBar myself and hung out for a bit with Ty, Ben and DJ Colin. I headed over to Splash around 12:30 and hung out with Dwayne for a bit before dancing both upstairs and down with DJ Hex Hector upstairs and DJ Danny Echi downstairs. I got the phone call from Russ to leave and meet at 4pm to head back to Brooklyn so I retrieved my wrap and made my way back to Bklyn after a stop for pizza. I was overtired and not at my best on the way home but eventually I was able to fall asleep and awake to a lazy Sunday.

The days are starting to get longer again, but there is still plenty of Winter to deal with before the warm comes again. I do need to be a little more regimented in my scheduling and planning and remember to take my vitamins. All that I do requires me to be on point for many days and many nights and I need all of the help that I can get. This insomnia is getting in the way. I need to get past it and get all of the spots worked out. At least my new friend the Homedics Shiatsu Pillow is keeping me from getting too tense.

My problem may be is I am still waiting for everything to be done and finished, All the writing, all the waiting, All the things I have yet to do. I have frittered away the time watching movies on cable but this is the season when that is not as much fun as well so thankfully it is forcing me to do the other things that need to be done.

I know I will do it all eventually, but I guess it will have to be soon. One never knows what will happen next.
