Ever get to the point where you're so tired, you're over tired? Where your eyes are so heavy you can hardly keep them open, but your mind won't rest long enough to get you into a deep sleep? Know it? That's me tonight. I'm having a hard time relaxing. In taking on the extra work and thinking of everything I have to get done before my trip in 3 weeks, my body's all tense (I can feel the muscles in my mid-back, neck, and shoulders just engulfing the stress, clinched tight) and my brain is on overdrive. I tossed and turned and woke up 3 times last night thinking about work. How sad is that? It's time for extreme measures. I'll be investing in a bottle of wine on my way home tomorrow night. After a self-medicating liquid dinner*, I should be all relaxed and ready for bed at about 9pm.
*Self-medicating liquid dinners may not be suitable for everyone. Please check with your physician to see if a self-medicating liquid dinner is right for you. Just a heads up, it probably isn't. And as always, please drink responsibly. You know, don't spill any; that's wasteful.

Said like a true trooper.
As corny as it sounds, I always tell myself that sleep is for sleep, tomorrow will take care of itself. Granted, I sometimes wake up really early 'tomorrow', but just so that I can prepare.
Sleep is too precious to sully with waking concerns. Anything you could have done today will be better done tomorrow.
And all of that jazz.

Strangely enough I am a decent if not great massage guy.
I'm assuming in three weeks you leave for Greece? Next time you can't relax try visualizing the blue Aegean sea and some lovely Greek god bringing you're drink of choice. Well, that second part might not relax you. Stick with the Aegean sea. PS. Just make sure in Greece the drink of choice isn't Retsina.. it's a Greek wine made from pine sap and it tastes like Pine Sol. Very Bad!! Stay away from it at all costs!
KOM - you're so right. just wish I could get my brain on the same page as we are.
Marshal - Ahh, it's funny - I've found that many men claim that, but very few can deliver on their claim.
Derrik - I'm not lonely or depressed, just need some rest. thanks for the compliment.
Diane - Love the Grecian visuals...ALL of them! Can't WAIT! Thanks for the heads up on Retsina. We'll steer clear.
