Pandemic 2:30 Thoughts


Why am I awake again?


Maybe it was that cookie.


Why did I eat that cookie at 9:30?


Sugar is not good for me that late.


It's not the cookie.


There’s a lot to think about, and even more to worry about.


Who can sleep?


God’s got me.


I’m going to be okay.


Will I ever feel normal again?


The world is just not okay.


I can’t solve it.


I wish I could.


God can solve it.


Can He?


I can do my part.


What is my part?


I need to go back to sleep.


I’m going to be a mess in the morning.


I guess I should pray for someone else who is awake.


God, please bring peace to my friend who is super anxious and not able to sleep.


Wait a minute.


I am also super anxious.


My leg itches.


Why does my leg itch?


I hope I didn’t get poison ivy on our 400th hike.


Should I get up and check?


No. That will just make me more awake.


Try to go back to sleep.


It’s probably nothing.


I wonder why my husband doesn’t have any issue sleeping.


He’s very sweet, but it’s still really annoying.


I’ve been kind of a cranky in the house the last few months.


Well, duh. I’m not getting good sleep.


But I should try harder tomorrow.


Maybe if I turn over and face the other direction, I will be able to go back to sleep.


That light from outside is still on.


Should I get up and turn it off?


It’s just wasting electricity and we’re trying to save money every which way we can.


That reminds me. I have to call the electrician to fix our light fixture.


But maybe that should wait.


We are in the middle of a pandemic.


Stop being so ridiculous.


What are the chances of the electrician infecting me?


I can just leave the house and then Lysol spray everything he touches.
