I Can't Sleep

Oh I'd love to be sleeping right now. Everyone else in this hemisphere is. Insomnia: the least amusing part of menopause.

It's 3AM and my alarm will ring in 2 hours and I'll have to get up and go to work. I'll probably be able to sleep at 4:45. I'll probably be in some deep REM right about then.

But for now, I'm sitting in the livingroom listening to the dog snore and wondering if it's foolish to eat chocolate chip cookies at this hour.
