At this time I’m usually resting. I’ve said my prayers and lay looking at a movie.I wake up suddenly due to something disturbing me. I go to check it out then it’s back to resting. Again, I am awaken having to use it. As we said in grade school with a raised hand “teacher can I go and use it?”. I go check on my mother ‘cause I take care of her. Then it’s back to my resting feeling like a blur.
Once again I’m awakened this time by my kitties. It’s snack time for them my rest goes on back end. I get them their treats and then back to resting. The night goes on and again I am resting. Up again for natural causes cause I drink lots of water so I’m up one mo’ ‘gin for that reason.
Throughout the night I toss, turn and fight for at least eight hours, to no avail but I’m still on it!!!
Sounds a bit like my nights of “sleep”! Nicely captured here, all those little pinging needs and causes that draws us out of sleep at night. I like how you use “resing” instead of sleeping. I make myself lie in bed and tell myself it’s my time to rest, even if I can’t sleep. And those pesky kitties! These things that just cannot be set aside – and caring for a parent – shows the generosity and selflessness of the speaker, who is giving up an essential need. Nicely done!
Oh, thanks so much for reading and commenting.
