Please Sleep
Posted: January 13, 2026 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentLast night Shay woke me up at 2:00 in the morning. It happens. Usually she wakes Russ, who is up in the middle of the night almost every night. I am not. Except for last night.
I could not go back to sleep no matter how much I tried to stop thinking. Everytime I looked at my clock it was another hour later with still no sleep.
So I had a busy day. Garden club, then drove to Smithfield and hour and fifteen minutes, taught two classes and drove home. At least at nine at night the drive home was ten minutes faster. In spite of my shortened night’s sleep I was not tired, but I am desperate to have a full and goods night’s sleep tonight because I have to go back to Smithfield and do it again tomorrow and the next day. The driving and two classes without sleep multiple days can have a bad effect on how effective a teacher I am.
So for the good of my students I have taken a sleep aid tonight and am praying for a good night.

At least I saw a beautiful sunset between classes today. It was cold put colorful down there in Johnston County.
