Another Sleepless Night

Yet another sleepless nightly slightly similar to the other I encountered less than a month ago.
It’s 12:30.A.M., I chew up a couple of Aleve, wash them down with filtered water and reluctantly switch off the light only to find myself lying there for the next two and a half hours tossing restlessly. There is little hope of calming my mind. I cannot imagine why for at least the first two hours? Perhaps it was that last cup of condensed coffee I drank that was on again off again, heated throughout the afternoon? Who knows, I could not imagine me being such a caffeine lightweight.
Two hours into my restless journey to visit the sandman, I conceded. I got up, searched quietly in the dark for a pad of paper and a pencil with an eraser. Alas no luck ….I settled on an almost dried out felt pen I recognized by the chewed up end created by my teething lil’ Riley pup.

Oh well, it will have to do for now as I head down the hall to the other room and flip on the light. I scoot over the mass of unfolded laundry on the bed and scratch down a few design ideas. I want to create the title header and sub titles for my “Perfect Web Portfolio”. They say your best ideas come to you in your sleep. (Laughing silently to myself…mine generally hit me in the shower)

Anyway, all was not lost…at least I hope. In my restlessness many things ran through my uncultivated mind of enigmatic thoughts. The creative half of my brain won, no contest. Inward Art.com the domain I have created but yet to begin a real WORKING design. I want this one to be perfect, if not on paper certainly in my mind.

I have to keep rewetting the tip of my half dried out felt pen hoping to keep the ink visible enough to get me through the first phase of title/header design. Thirty minutes later I am half satisfied with a rough sketch. At least having done that, I can once again attempt my horizontal journey into sleepy land.

Finally ZZzzzzzzz.

We will see how this design progresses throughout the year but for now I must get back to my homework. I seem to keep getting sidetracked.

I am hoping if I can keep up with this Blog thing it will keep me focused or at least going in a more positive and productive direction even if I am the only one reading it.
Cheers,
Terri
