I Need New Socks

I swear, I think my mind works 24-7. I can work, and think about too much other crap at the same time. If I could just shut my mind off for awhile, maybe I wouldn't be so tired. I work all day, go home, take care of my kids, then I feel this incessant need to write until past midnight. What is with that? Why can't I be normal and sleep?

I'm such a night owl. No one can ever keep up with me when it comes to staying up late. I guess I can only sleep when I fall into bed exhausted. I think the thing is, night time, or like the song says, "in the still of the night" is when I feel my creativity come to life. It's when I can pretend my life is different than it is. It's when I can pretend that everything is OK.

I'm just tired of feeling like I'm wearing the wrong sock all the time. I need new socks, but there are no new socks for me right now. I don't know where to look, where to shop.

So, where does this leave me, I guess, metaphorically speaking, it leaves me up all night knitting socks!

Peace,

OC

  1. I lose all my socks. What does that say about me? They actually just get eaten in the washing machine.

  2. While your up, could I trouble you to knit me a pair as well? Mine have holes.
