Some random insomniac blogging tidbits....
But today, February 4, is World Cancer Day. (www.worldcancerday.org/)
From that web site:
A truly global event taking place every year on 4 February, World Cancer Day unites the world’s population in the fight against cancer.
It aims to save millions of preventable deaths each year by raising awareness and education about the disease, pressing governments and individuals across the world to take action.
I realize I should have posted about this BEFORE the end of the day, but better late than never. In my opinion, anything, anything at all these days, that includes uniting the world's population AND a fight against cancer is a spectacular idea.

I had a long, busy day today. I was wiped out when I got home at 7:30pm. WIPED OUT.
It is now 11:42pm. Wiped out is gone and wide awake took its place. Sigh.
According to my Fitbit, my sleep average was 4.35 hours/night this week. Pathetic. I like sleep. No, I love sleep! It's not that I don't want to sleep, or I'm too sick, stressed, depressed or anxious to sleep. I just can't. I go to bed and I'm wide awake. I wake up a lot during the night, and not just the toss and turn kind of waking. I'm talking about get out of bed to go to the bathroom, or go to the kitchen to get a drink and make a detour to check email/facebook/weather kind of waking.
My friend S says I'm like a baby whose internal clock is backwards. That's exactly it. I have my days and nights mixed up.

K had a friend spend the night last night. Her friend's name is the same as K's. Their last names both start with a B. It's a little confusing. And a little amusing to have to use your child's last name in your own house. They were in the same preschool class years ago. Now they are in the same fifth grade class. K's friend K is a sweet, easygoing girl. I'm pleased as punch.

Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday. Not only are my Cowboys not in the big game (despite getting my hopes up by kicking ass all season), but the Patriots are in the big game. Again. Tom Brady is cute and all, but good God, can't they just go away?

I have another friend S who never fails to make me smile. She sent me a FIVE POUND BAG of gummy bears for my birthday. And not only does she indulge my obsession, but she shares it. Haribo fans unite!
I miss her every single day. She was my bring me food when I'm sick friend. My walking buddy friend. My help me out at the softball fields at 2am during a tournament friend. My come over just to hang out and talk friend. Then she moved. Far away. So now she's my late night texting conversations friend. And my Vegas roommate friend. I'm very grateful for modern technology that allows me to keep in touch - frequently at all hours - with friends like S. But man, life is NOT the same without her here.

Monday my son starts driver's ed. Say WHAT? I knew I had a teenager, but driver's ed?? That's for, like, people that can drive! When did I get old enough to have a kid that drives? I guess the whole high school thing didn't really sink in yet.
Thanks for keeping me company. If you see him, send the sandman my way.
