Strange Shit Is Happening

This morning I was up at 3 a.m. I just couldn't sleep anymore. The last time I had a problem with insomnia it started just like this. Waking up earlier and earlier until I was up all night and day for a total of 52 hours. I've gone further than that, but it seems like a repeat cycle every 3 to 4 months.

Well, this morning I made David and myself breakfast. YES! I never do that. David now thinks I was kidnaped by aliens. He just doesn't understand. So I grabbed my coffee and Lucy and I went into the bedroom to watch the morning news. Yes, I let my dogs into my bed. Not under the sheets. They know not to do that, they sleep on a special blanket over our sheets. So don't judge me people!

Anywho, I was watching the early news on Good Morning America and I had a great laugh. It was a story that happened in October on the 26th. Apparently a Singapore 747-400 Air Freighter was in route from Australia to Malaysia had a little problem with a fire alarm going off. So they had to make an emergency landing in Bali. There was no trace of heat, smoke or even fire. It was methane gas that was produced from a little over 2100 goats on board. YES! GOAT FARTS! I laughed so hard at the fact that goat farts made the plane land. Here is the news story if you want to get more on it.

Y'all know about Spring cleaning, right?  Well, I do that sort of total cleaning twice a year if I have the energy. Well, this past week I have completely gone crazy with Autumn cleaning. YES! It's crazy I tell ya. I have been tackling a room a day. Except for the living/dining rooms, which are always clean, the rest of the house is fair game. 

The reason I do this is because of the puppies and a husband. They lay waste to this house like nobody has ever seen. All four of them are messy as shit. I have the media room and the kitchen/pantry yet to get to. Piece of cake. I just hope my energy levels stay high.

One last news bit. Did anyone hear that Those tasty Girl Scout cookies are going up in price to $5 a box? YES! FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS! How can they do this to us! This can't be happening! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I live for the Samoas aka Caramel deLites. *sigh* So sad. So, so sad.

Insomniacs R Us

Insomnia is kicking my ass again. I need to figure out why I can't get any sleep at night.
I've tried everything in the book and then some. Nothing seems to work.

So I've been doing house work in the hopes that it would make me tired enough to get some sleep.

But I have just too much energy flowing through me. It's like I tapped into some kind of energy field and I can't stop buzzing.

I did three loads of laundry last night. I dusted, swept (vacuuming is too loud and I don't want to wake David because he has to work), mopped, cleaned the bathroom, found long lost dog toys that Lucy hid from Spunky, cleaned the refrigerator, and even baked four dozen cookies I had from the freezer that I made up two weeks ago. Shit! I even made a loaf of sour dough bread.

Then I decided to do some cooking for part of the week.  I made potato salad, meat balls for spaghetti, and even some fried chicken.

David woke up at 5am this morning to a clean house and some fine smells from the kitchen.

I accomplished a lot of things last night and I feel great from it. But doing all that shit never made me tired. I still feel energetic right now. So I guess I'll go outside an pull weeds and transplant some creeping phlox and sweet peas. 

Please don't worry about me. I'll hit that wall soon enough. It's been three nights without sleep so I'm guessing tonight I'll finally get some sound sleep, Goddess willing.  

Y'all have a magical day. 

Insomnia Has Taken Over

Sorry about yesterday folks. I know I sorta kinda promised to post every day but insomnia has taken over my life. Sleeping pills don't even work. Not to mention David pissed me off over the weekend and the puppies are acting like bitches on the rag.

This is day three without sleep for me. I'm fine but this migraine is about to make me a widow. David was outside torturing the roses and other bushes. I left him to do what I thought would be harmless pruning.

He did what I wanted which was pruning back the roses and my white jasmines. He went WAY to far when he cut back my wisteria that was trailing on the fence.

I screamed when I saw what he did to it. It will take years to get back to the way it was. I worked hard on that little tree. Lovingly weaving the vines through the fence. Now it's all for nothing. To bad I live in a farming community, otherwise there might be more places to hide a body.

On to other things ... the puppies are acting like the whole world is going to break into the house and steal their toys. They bark at the slightest noise. They have hidden all their toys, well let's just say only the really good ones they like best, under their blankets. Every night it's the same ol' deal. I have to pick up their blankets and cart an armful and a half of toys back to their toy box. The next morning the toys are all peaking out from under the dogs and the blankets. It's a vicious cycle.

I'm throwing in the towel and going to Pinterest.

The Morning After

I see everyone survived the end of the world. I slept right through it after a fitful past few nights of insomnia. Yes I had to call out the Insomnia Swat Team. Hey,they worked just fine. Wish there was a Migraine Swat Team out there somewhere cause I could sure use 'em sometime.

As some of you have noticed, I am up and around again, finally! I was walking with the walker which is a cumbersome piece of shit. Now I'm walking with the cane much to David's surprise and very  disconcerting looks. I'm supposed to stay with the walker until I get my knee x-rayed on the 10th of Jan. My knee feels fine but David thinks putting weight on it too soon will fuck it all up and I'll have to go back and have it corrected. Whatev. I feel fine. In fact it feels great to be free again. Hardly any pain. I'm totally off my pain meds now. So, for everyone out there in blogger land, YES, I'm back in full force. BWAAHAHAHAAHAAAHAAAHAAA!

If anyone has been following the news on TV like me, about the last day of the world, I hope you were all laughing as I was. I mean to tell ya, I bet the Mayans in Central America and the French were getting a good one on the New Age Idiots. That's what happens when sheep watch and believe the History Channel. Lately the Syfy Channel has been having a butt load of End of The World Movies. Many of them so bad that David made me leave the room because I couldn't help laughing too loud. 'Com se com sa'.

My world will end next week. David will be off for a whole, long week. Christmas Shutdown began yesterday afternoon and wouldn't you know it, Jerry Springer and Maury took over the TV. Yeppers, it's going to be a hideously long week for me. Please Light a candle and pray for my poor, poor soul. Goddess knows I'm gonna need all the help I can get.

The Crazy Witches Daybook

My Mood:  Right now I'm all wide eyed and crazy. I just want to kill something or David, which ever comes first. The puppies are hiding under the dining room table. Poor babies.

What Pisses me off:  Not being able to do what I want. Like when I went outside to water the plants and then put the sprinkler out. WTF!  I cant get the sprinkler to unscrew from the hose. David probably put it on with a wrench, the shit! So I had to go get the other hose from the other side of the house. So I'm schlepping my fat ass with the other hose in tow all the way around the house and walk up to the spigot. Drop the other hose and I'm trying to unscrew the hose from it and I can't. Fuck you David!!! He put this bitch on so tight I can't get it off. To top it off I don't have the keys to his shed. He put them in his truck for some insane reason. 


So I get on the phone and ask him why he tightened the hose on the sprinkler. He said he didn't. LIAR!!  I threw the phone across the room, thank the Goddess it landed in a chair cushion. I get such a temper. I'm usually such a nice person. Went back outside and grabbed the hose and dragged it back to the otherside of the house, bitching and moaning all the way. The puppies are hiding cause they think I'm gonna give them a bath. Awww fuckit!!! I can't get the hose to reconnect to the spigot. Fuck all this shit!! I hope it rains and floods this shit out!  I need my meds and coffee. Lot's of meds and coffee!

My reason why I have these psycho mood swings: I haven't slept a normal night's sleep in, ohhh, I don't know how long. My aches and pains keep me up so that's nothing new. My meds only work when they feel like it. Could also be that I've been bit by the insomnia bug again.


So I spend my nights surfing the web, looking for funny shit to show y'all. I've found cool web sites and some really awesome recycling ideas. I'm also playing around in Pinterest. That place should be illegal. I spent 5 hours on it one night and didn't know it. It's like being in a time warp.

What I'm reading: I'm waiting for August to come around so I can get the next book from Chloe Neill, "Biting Cold". Until then I'm reading Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampire Series - "Bite Club".
Problem is I read so fast I start over on some of the older books I have just to stay entertained. I really need to go get a library card. I'm running out of shit to read. It's so bad I'm actually watching TV with David at night now. He watches reality TV crap. Like the logger guys and the gator hunters. I don't know the names of this shit, nor do I care.  I just watch it to stay out of trouble.


What I'm listening to: I am an Evanescience fan. Amy Lee is fucking awesome! The lyrics are fucking awesome! Can't say enough. Right now I'm listening to their Fallen CD and it's fucking awesome as usual. I always listen to her CD's at night while surfing the web. 
Check this video.




Have a fucking awesome day my pets.

C-PAP Songs You Know And Love Brought To You By ...

The C-PAP. Do y'all know what it is? Google it, I'll wait.
Mmmkay. David has to wear the medium sized face mask kind because he hates the nasal one. Our insurance pays 100% on this so we aren't to choosy. They send him all the supplys he needs for it free of cost. Which is really nice.

Since I sometimes have insomnia issues, I have begun to entertain myself with the strange noises David makes at night. Mainly what sounds like he is either singing with the thing on or talking in his sleep. Now mind you, the C-PAP when worn over the mouth and nose uses negative air force to keep the mouth shut so you don't snore. So, if you are a sleep talker it sounds like you are Hawaiian nose humming.

It's hilarious as shit at night. I will be lying there next to him while he sleeps and all of a sudden it's American Idol tryouts. It really sounds like he's singing, well, I mean humming in his sleep. So I'll try to sing along with him. It's hard when you don't know the tune.

Other nights it's like sleeping with a bag piper. The mask will move out of place when he turns on his side and it will leak and cause a constant sound. Something like a bag piper playing. I usually sing Amazing Grace those nights. Then there is the driving the race car night. He sounds like he's changing gears while driving a formula-one car around the track.

I know,I know, Leeanna you're fucking weirder than shit. But hey, a girl has to have something to do during the night to keep out of trouble.
