Restless Night

I had a restless sleep last night worrying about my condition and the endless water on my property and in my basement. Now that I am awake I feel a bit better but I don’t know why since I am still sore and achy and have no resolution about the problems I am facing. Why is that I wonder? Do things bother us more at night simply because it is night and there really is nothing a person can do because everything is closed, so to speak?

Perhaps it is partly because I am a morning person and everything always seems better and brighter first thing in the morning. No doubt when I call the MD at 9:00 this morning my day will go south because I will not get the answer that I want and frustration will set in once again. But for a few hours I have the optimism that things will get better.

Yesterday I had a visit with some new friends and we had a discussion on God, religion and belief. During the night I felt bad that I was perhaps too negative about religion and that I might have shaken my young friend’s spirituality. It is wrong to be so adamant about a subject when the truth is that I am simply a doubter not a disbeliever. So I was also lying awake worrying about that. While I am at it why don’t I try to solve the question of world peace.

Yes, it is not fun when you get a restless night. I slept the sleep of the just (thanks to Robaxicet) for several hours and then bang 1 p.m. rolled around and I was awake ever since. Fortunately for me this doesn’t happen very often but it is going to be a very long day for me today!
