Sleep ... It Does a Body Good

My brain is beginning to function again

On Wednesday night, I got about an hour's worth of sleep. Actually, that would have been on Thursday morning. I think I fell asleep around 5:00 in the morning. I'm normally a good sleeper, a habit that I forced myself into after years of insomnia. But I occasionally mess up ... usually when I need to be somewhere the next morning, which means that getting a good night's rest is extra important.

In this case, I had to get up to go to a CLE in the morning. CLE stands for Continuing Legal Education. Fortunately, CLEs are quite boring, so I could turn off my brain. There wasn't much to switch off.

I'm convinced that most people suffer from insomnia at least occasionally. I don't think I have ever met anyone who always gets a good night's sleep. Even The Husband, who could probably sleep through a zombie attack, has trouble sleeping every once in a while.

Anyway, I'm going to give myself a little bit of grace here. Today's newsletter will be cut short as I go take a nap. In the mean time, I will leave you with this nightmarish image that MidJourney gave me for a woman sleeping on a sofa:

That image is very The Conjuring, y'all.

Some of my links are Amazon referral links. I’d appreciate it if you clicked on one. It costs you nothing, but I get a small commission. Thank you for your support!

I now have to go watch The Conjuring. Without The Husband, since he hates scary movies. He has trouble falling asleep after watching one.

We're really watching Psych Season 2. Pysch is free for Amazon Prime members. All the antics of  James Roday Rodrigue (Shawn Spencer) crack me up. If I was going to be a writer for Hollywood, I would definitely write something like this. (But Hollywood writers are still on strike. Read my good friend S.C.'s reporting from the ground level.

I'm currently reading Rich Waters by Robert Bailey. Since it's a legal thriller, the book review and synopsis will go on the website.

Speaking of book reviews, I finished off the one for The Missing Piece by John Lescroart. I went sans-legal news this week, but I will have something very funny next week.

Also, grilled zukes and squash. You're welcome.
