Hey there!
I'm all wide-eyed and bushy tail hair, listening to music at 02:30 AM. I'm playing random songs on youtube, from pop, reggae, R&B, and whatever comes along. When a music video that I like comes on, I pause to watch it... then I come back to type.
The track playing now is #Sugar by Maroon 5. Why am I doing this? Insomnia, my on-and-off friend, visits me and keeps me company. Insomnia (aka superwoman the fucking bitch from hell) is so powerful; She tries to control me, but I don't let her. Simply because I know that insomnia is a selfish friend, who desperately tries to drain my energy and make me feel weak. When she's around, I ignore her and listen to some of my favourite tunes to drown out insomnia's presence.
Oh, #DeepRiverWoman, Lionel Ritchie plays now. I love this song. The river is my favourite body of water. I love to watch the river flow, it's like it's saying let it go.
Sometimes the water flows with great force
Like a rush of strong emotions
At other times, it's silent and calm
Perfect for decision-making
Observing the calm
Letting things be
Oops, my adopted cat just burst through the door straight up to where she sees me focused. Say hi to Bob.
She's interrupting my typing on purpose.
Insomnia and Bob are plotting against me.
Bob's moody, mild-natured and sweet. She greets me first thing every morning as I wake up, and then she leads me to her bowl; I reach for a pack of her Whiskers, and she rubs her head around my ankles. That makes me smile:)
I think the cat is meditating so I'll not disturb her. Well, she was gone. I guess she likes being active at night too, but I can't play with her tonight...
#TakeItEasyOnMe, Adele plays. I love her music, but man, she gives me a stalking vibe. You know...
"Hello, it's me. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet to go over everything."👀
... and now her creepier one #SomeoneLikeYou...
Gosh, I better skip... ok, a better one is on.
Yes, much better; Lenny Kravitz #ThePleasureandthePain, ooh I love Lenny. He's just so fucking sexy and "the" individualist. I admire that. I love listening to his tracks, back-to-back. I have phases when I listen to nothing but Kravitz. His songs speak of love sex, pleasure, pain, laughter, and life; His lyrics are raw and real!
#TurnYourLightsDownLow, Bob Marley. I think this is the right kind of vibe I need now. This song is making me conquer Insomnia. Now, I'm gonna tip-toe and curl up with hubby. I sleep on the right side of the bed on my left side. I'm easygoing, but that's one particular thing that I must have. Hubby then snuggles up behind me, and then I hear his loud snoring...
I'm always armed with these.
... But I can still hear the loud snoring...oh before I go, do you know that all earplugs are not equal?
Take a good look at these. I specialise in earplugs.
The one on the right is crap, the ones in the middle are a little better, and the ones on the left, are my prized possession. They are my last pair and I'm gonna order a pack of 50. Do you notice the shape?... and they are 39db noise cancelling and amazing.
