Alive To The Universe and Dead To The World.

(Today’s first song – Nutopia by Pigface.)

I have lost my ability to nap.

Let me repeat that: I HAVE LOST MY ABILITY TO NAP.

Life has lost all meaning! Woe is me! How will I define myself NOW?!!? WTF am I going to do?!

I don’t know if it’s the arrival of spring or the lesser dose of the Celexa or.. well, I don’t know. I can only say that I wake up in the morning WIDE AWAKE and then spend all day running around like a lunatic and then, by 10pm, I’m exhausted and ready for bed. Lying down for a nap is absolutely impossible – I twitch like I’m flutter-kicking in a swimming pool when I try to stay still Yeeesh.

Sadly, I’m not accomplishing much with this extra energy – I’m just standing in the living room dancing like some poor raver-kid and tormenting the dogs.

Really though, you must pity Coffee – he returns home from work at 9:30 and I’m already ‘coming down’ and ready for sleep. Then I spent the next hour muttering, “Is it bedtime yet? How ’bout now? Now?”

Maybe it’s all the marshmallow Peeps I’ve been eating lately? Hmm.

God, my own energy level is annoying me. Sheeesh.

A week or so ago, I took advantage of the ridiculous energy levels and signed up for a few classes – all of which start in April. On Tuesday I start my Creative Writing (short story) class, the following Monday I start my glass fusing class, and the week after that Coffee, Kelly and I are starting our Saturday morning NIA classes.

Oh, and our adoption training/homestudy starts on April 18th.

Phew. That oughta’ knock some of the excess energy out of me nicely, wouldn’t you say?

I’m pretty excited about the classes – other than NIA with K&C, I’m signed up all on my own. This will force me to speak to people I do not know while doing fun stuff and making things. All part of my master plan to take over the world. (Shhh, don’t tell anyone about my plan, ok?)

Truthfully, I will either love this or end up weeping after each class about how I can’t work up the nerve to speak to my fellow classmates.. I’m a social butterly in the right context and an antisocial hermit, otherwise. Could go either way.

Time to walk the dogs, head to the library and find some groceries. Then I’m coming home to read some more of my library books while I still have time…

Have a wicked-good Friday, ok?
