When seasons change here in North Carolina, the haze of humidity lifts revealing a vibrantly colored world. I had to run home for a contact emergency and couldn’t resist snapping a few photos. Only a few more weeks before all of this green begins to CHANGE! My energy level was sub-zero yesterday and I did […]

My internet has been out for the past 24 hours. I feel so disconnected from the world and behind on my blog reading. 😉 Actually, I was pretty busy running around town doing errands. I like to get them out of the way so I can enjoy my weekend. When Isaac and I were in […]

Not being able to sleep is a nightmare—no pun intended. Whenever I have nights like Wednesday night, the thought I work hardest to ignore is “I’m going to be so tired and miserable tomorrow”. It I entertain this thought, my anxiety will shoot through the roof. I did finally fall asleep around 3am and I […]

Yawn

September 9, 2010

Intermittent insomnia. Ever heard of it? I apparently am experiencing a bout of intermittent insomnia tonight. According to one source, intermittent insomnia lasts for a short period and is brought on by stress, environmental noise, extreme temperatures, changes in the surrounding environment, sleep/wake problems, jet lag, or medication side effects.
