Have you ever noticed that 3 am does funny things to a brain not interested in sleeping? For starters, my brain fogs up like the windshield of my car just after the rain starts falling and before the defroster kicks in. In the midst of all that fog, my brain begins working overtime to compensate for the lack of clarity on which such musings thrive on the dark side of the moon.
In the dark, with Jimmy’s zzzzzz’s crowding out coherent thought, the idle chatter inside my head during the day (come on, I know I’m not the only one with all that idle chatter, right?) suddenly grows to a cacophony of concern that won’t be denied in the silence enveloping the wee hours of the night.
Apparently I get no brownie points for all those nights when 3 am was literally a dream come true rather than a nightmare.

I could be polishing up the post I’ve been working on for the last two days, but that would be much too logical for my sleep-deprived brain at three in the morning. Logic isn’t always part of the journey. Life isn’t always fair, either.
If all my musings have left you with more questions than answers, welcome to my world. Misery does love company. When my world/body returns to normal (or at least my crazy version of normal) I’ll return to posting. For now, a week off seems in order. Besides, I need time to study for all those tests the doctor keeps ordering.
I know, I could have just said, “Taking a week off,” but where’s the literary style in that?

No harm in continuing the apple a day routine.
