It’s not secret that I’m a chronic insomniac. Sleep and I don’t always get along so well. Today, though, is National Public Sleeping Day (yes, there pretty much is a holiday for everything).
Except I won’t be in public, and I don’t nap well unless I’m ill. I’ll just have to live vicariously through these guys. They’re much cuter when they sleep anyway.

I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.
Life is all about being curious, asking questions, and discovering your passion. And it can be fun!

I wouldn’t call myself an insomniac, though I sometimes have trouble getting to sleep, especially if my cranky knee is acting up. Typically I use my waiting-for-sleep time to write. Whatever I’m working on in real life can always use some editing and expansion. Sometimes, the nightly writing is simply brilliant, even if I can’t remember it in the morning. As TV’s Frasier Crane told an insomniac caller whose problem Frasier had forgotten, “Perhaps you should sleep on your problem.” Hope it works for you, cuz.

If I could just turn my brain off, I could sleep. I always think of the most brilliant things when I’m trying to get to sleep.

One of our patients was complaining about pain in his side and his back when he tried to sleep so the nurse searched his bed and found that a fork had somehow gotten into his bed.

So he was done? Don’t know why else someone would stick him with a fork. 😏

No the patient was undone by the fork. It probably fell off a meal tray. At least this fork didn’t get stuck in the bottom of the patients foot. That would make it the tines which tried a man’s sole, right?

Ya know, a Facebook friend posted a pic of a fork he saw on the ground while he was walking, and he asked if he should pick it up. I considered, but did not answer: The tine’s not right for that. I’m not as brave a punster as you.
