Sleep, sweet sleep

It was that kind of night. The kind that ends with the desire to stay home and sleep some more. But the desire was tempered with the knowledge that there's work to be done, and (maybe more importantly) that sleep will be a lost cause once the workmen show up and start jackhammering the street.

The dreams were numerous and vivid. (Talking snakes in the roof of our van!) And in trying to drink some water, I reached into my lamp, knocking it over. It then knocked my full glass of water onto the floor. I then staggered around the apartment trying to figure out how to soak up the water. Good thing there wasn't a library book next to the bed last night. And good thing it's water, and not beet juice, that I like to drink in the middle of the night.

Beet juice?
Never dring anything except water in the middle of the night - unless you are going to brush your teeth.

Meisa, I have to try your "pom".

I haven't heard of this "Pom." But Sam and I did eat pomegranate last night. And recently I have put pomegranate syrup in water for a refreshing drink, but it wasn't intense like you describe. Maybe when we're on the mainland, I can try "Pom."
