sleep deprived?
since i've returned from vacation, i've had trouble sleeping. either i haven't been able to fall asleep, wake up in the middle of the night for an hour or two, or wake up super early and not really want to go back to sleep. this is incredibly rare for me. usually i don't even have to think about sleeping, it can happen at any time. and quite often reading my book at nite puts me to sleep. but not these past four nites. i attribute it to one of two things, or maybe both...
1) i have flannel sheets on my bed. this is new and i don't really like it. because when you get hot, there is no cool part of the bed to move to, only toasty flannel sheet. plus i have no control over the heat in my room. so i'm having major temperature issues.
2) there is a ghost in my room. i've heard it lingering outside my door for a couple nites, and last nite i felt and heard it come inside. i was trying to figure out why there would be a ghost in my room, and whose ghost it would be. i think i've pinned it down...my grandmother (dad's mom). i finally decided it was her last nite because i just recently found this perfume that makes me think of her. so i think she was trying to communicate to me through that, and is now coming to me in person, or rather, in spirit. i think she knows that i've got a lot of confusing thoughts running through my head, and is coming to my room at nite to help me out. i haven't quite figured out what she is saying to me yet, but maybe if she sticks around long enough, i'll get it.
for now, i'll change the sheets and see what happens.
