I couldn’t sleep tonight. I was plenty tired, and lay down for hours.
\nGot up and took a shower followed by a bubble bath (lavender and
\nchamomile). Went back to bed, read 4 more chapters of whatever I’m
\nreading (Kinky Friedman’s Armadillos and Old Lace). Still no sleep.<\/p>\n
I got up and futzed around a bit. Then I asked the important question,
\n“WHY am I not sleeping?” followed by “What happens when I just can’t
\nsleep?” Simple answer – it’s snowing. I don’t know why, but I just
\ncan’t sleep during an active snowfall event. I had to look out the
\nwindow to check, but indeed we had about 2″ outside.<\/p>\n
I remembered back to when I would complain to Beth (now my #3 ex) about
\nnot being able to sleep. Snowfall in Colorado Springs, combined with
\nthe street lighting, made the air\/snow look pink. I started referring
\nto not being able to sleep due to “pink sky conditions”. Don’t know
\nwhy I forgot that for so long and remembered it when I needed to
\ntonight.<\/p>\n
We don’t get many snowfalls here in Asheville. The ones we get are
\nrarely worth mentioning, maybe 5-6 events per year, no more than 1″
\neach. Today they started out predicting 3-6″ (to which I snorted,
\n“yeah, sure”) and revised it downward to 2-4″. Well, we definitely
\nhave 2″ or more… and I definitely can’t sleep.<\/p>\n
Hugs,
