Party or Nap

I'm not sleeping well these days but there's too much going on around here for me to take a nap. I don't want to miss any of the fun. I finally crashed yesterday afternoon and slept for 2 hours. I then went to bed around 10 P.M. and slept soundly until 2:30 A.M. and have been awake ever since. I knew this would happen!

I've been walking around like a zombie all day but still managed to get in some birthday present shopping, some casino (I won $60), a huge St. Patrick's Day party at a friend's house here in the park, and then Rummoli at the clubhouse this evening. I'm so very, very tired but I know if I go to bed too early I won't sleep through the night and tomorrow I have to be at the bus for the dog races at 7:30 A.M. I swear all this fun just might kill me.

All winter I do this to myself because I know how quiet my summer will be. Sure, I do the odd thing but here at the park it's all day and all evening...every day and every evening.

I've gotten some good news about my buddies here lately. Some that I thought wouldn't be back have changed their minds and a couple who rent every year never knowing what will be available has just negotiated a 4 month deal for next winter. Winter 2009/2010 may be a little different but it's starting to look more promising.

Back to my insomnia...I took a Tylenol P.M. (not available in Canada) and will climb into my bed by 10 P.M. tonight and can count on getting a good night's sleep.
