I don’t know which is harder…
getting through a “too much thinking” day…
or getting through a “too much thinking” night…
I think it must be the night one.
In the daytime, you can:
- go outside
- take a walk
- sit on the porch
- stare at the woods
- wash your car
- work on your resume that you keep postponing because you don’t know what you really want
- go window shopping
- kidnap a grandchild (when they aren’t in school)
- read a book - if you can find a good one -
- scrapbook
- journal
- surf the web
- watch tv - w/out cable…and, unless you speak spanish…pretty much out of luck!
- email someone
- talk on the phone — oops, not until after 7 pm!
- go ice skating !?!
- go golfing
okay, whatever!
At night, your options are more limited. You can:
- surf the net
- read, if you have good lighting and good eyes!
- sit on your porch and fight the bugs
- watch tv - uh, nothing on!
- watch your old movies that you have memorized
- blog
- get on other people’s myspace and send them silly messages and make it obvious you are bored and can’t sleep even if you take medicine to make you sleep
- scrapbook
- exercise indoors which only pumps up your endorphines so…no going to sleep then
- can’t talk to anyone because everyone else is asleep
- can’t go sit at a coffee shop because NOTHING is open in the wee hours in a big city…GO FIGURE…you can only do that in podunk Texas (Temple that is)…weird
- stare at the walls
- pray for everyone you know, except you have to be careful what to ask for because it might be the wrong thing to ask for…so, you end up saying short, careful prayers which doesn’t take up enough time and then you are back to the original issue of not sleeping so…hmmm
So, let’s see. One can actually do most of the things at night that can be done in the daytime w/the exception of all the activities that require someone else to be awake! LOL!
I seriously need to get a grip. 
I just want to go to sleep and stop thinking!
