Sleepless
My head is spinning, I'm stressed out, and I can't sleep. I've been in bed since about 2:15 AM, but couldn't let go enough to lose consciousness.The movie was sold out tonight, so instead of that, I went to dinner with Ray. She looked great! Absolutely stunning! It's too bad our plans for the evening fell through. After dinner, we went back to her place and sat on her couch talking for a while. No, that's not code for anything. Then we fell asleep for maybe a couple hours, still on the couch.
At about 1 AM, I woke up, tucked her in and left. At first, I headed down my usual path towards I-25, but then remembered that it was going to have overnight closures, so I changed course to head down 287. Apparently, my indecision attracted the attention of the local police, who pulled me over a half mile or so later to tell me I made an illegal turn, was speeding (5 over the limit) and changed lanes without signaling. All of these horrible offenses garnered me not even a warning, even though they saw it necessary to call for backup - they had at least two cruisers there for the stop. The cop told me I had a bad attitude, though ("I did too use my turn signal"). I really don't think this is what is keeping me awake.
The rest of the drive was uneventful. The time between getting home at 2 and (checks clock) 4:45 was spent watching all my various stresses swim past. That and writing this. I still don't feel tired. In fact, I think I'm hungry. /sigh
