Insomnia My Old Friend

Why is it I can never sleep when I actually need to? It's 3:00 am and I need to drive 500 miles today. It would good if I could get more than 2 hours of sleep but I'm wide awake. It's too late to take anything to help me sleep and it's really too early to just get up and go, though I've done it before and I'm sorely tempted to just say to hell with it and do it again. I'll be in Nebraska in no time. Not that I'm all that excited about driving across half the midwest, but at least it's not snowing. I'll get to do that on the way back if the weather reports are remotely right.

To probably misquote and misuse Shakespeare - To sleep, perchance to dream, ah that is the rub.

Travel Turmoil

I made it to glitzy Lincoln NE. I gave up on trying to sleep and hit the road at 4:30 am. Got all the way to the CO and NE border only to find out I packed my old phone which is only good to be a paperweight. It was definitely a head to keyboard moment.

On the upside, I think I plotted out another chapter to my story. Let's hope I can sleep tonight. Last year I couldn't and ended up leaving for WI at 3:30 am. Really don't want to do that again.
