it's late.

It's late and I am the only one not sleeping.
I wish I were sleeping, because I still feel crummy and
I have umpteen things I want to do tomorrow.
I think the trifecta of a 2 hour nap, American Idol try-outs, and not knitting have left me wide awake, yet unmotivated to actually do anything.
I'm sure the three doses of non-drowsy daytime cold medication haven't helped my cause.
I was reading; reading a great book, in fact. Eat, Pray, Love. Right now I am in an Ashram in India, trying to get my mind to quiet down so that I can have a transcendental meditative breakthough. And just like the author, I can't get it to slow down. So I figured I had better get up and stop willing myself to sleep, because it's not gonna happen.

So, what's on my mind?

-thinking about going downtown tomorrow to have lunch with Bart, and maybe stopping into City Knits. I've never been and really want to see it. I also want to pop into Pure Detroit, which seems to be closed every time I go to the Ren Cen.
-I've had a headache all day, so I'm pretty sure I have a massive sinus infection. Since August I have been taking meds to stabilize the debilitating headaches I was getting way too frequently. I haven't had any pain for 4 months. Today I had non-stop pain. And pressure. Time to suck it up and go to the doctor, I suppose.
-I spent a few hours with Kim today, and one of the things we did was go to Lifetime Moments.
Haven't shopped for scrap supplies in a long while. (Haven't scrapped in a long while either). Now I have an overwhelming urge to play with paper and pictures and words.
-I have a clock that I am going to alter for this challenge, and have been playing around with the how in my mind. How to physically put it together, and how to decorate it. My creative muscles have been underused lately. It's a struggle.
-I'm frustrated by the picture options on Blogger. I know there has to be a way to do the things I want to do, yet I can't seem to work it out.
-I need to get my scanner in working order again. After I upgraded to Leopard it hasn't worked, and I have some things I want to scan. It should be easier than it is. I should be able to fix it.
-I'm going to make a fancy header if it's the last thing i do.

Okay, maybe I can sleep now.
Cross your fingers.

Hate the old " mind racing" thing. Love EPL-one of my top 10 reads! :)
Hope you get to go downtown today and play! So happy you are thinking about paper, glue & scissors again!
