When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep

Who’d have thought that I’d ever be quoting Coldplay lyrics! Jaysus I must be bad.

I got my usual 45 minutes of sleep and here I am wide awake. I did stop bringing the phone upstairs but I went downstairs to make a chamomile tea and decided to write a blog. Although I don’t really have much to say.

I’ve been trying to sketch something but it’s not working out. In my head I think I can draw but when I pick up a pencil I realise I can’t.

There are a lot of things banging around the house tonight. Random sounds and it’s not the family because there ended up being an impromptu gathering around the kettle and no one knows what the sounds are. A lightbulb has blown too – at times like this I’m convinced someone is trying to tell me something but I have an overactive imagination.

Just as well I did wake up as Jono’s dressing fell off his finger and he started picking at it so I’ve patched it up again now.

I’m hoping sleep pays a visit soon. Maybe now I’ve typed something it might. Fingers crossed.
