Zapped

Posted on January 5, 2012 by confessionsofaninsomniac

I am fairly certain that an alien spacecraft abducted me within the last month and carried me off to a distant planet. Being that I am not a fascinating specimen from the planet Earth, they decided to return me without performing extensive experimentation. However, they still wanted a souvenir for all their troubles, so they ZAPPED me. That’s right … they zapped me of all my energy and motivation.

Aliens, if you are reading this now, you are making my life very difficult lately. Please bring back what does not belong to you. I do not want to became a lazy human being. I would like to have something that resembles a life. Please, I am begging you, bring back my energy!

Batteries need a recharge …

Fellow abductees, please share the solution that will help return me to the human I once was …

An ode to toilet paper

Posted on December 28, 2011 by confessionsofaninsomniac

How can a person completely waste an entire day off from work thinking about toilet paper? I have asked myself that question today on several occasions. It is just the answer always comes back to … toilet paper.

Toilet paper … it has so many wonderful uses.

You can use it to wipe your butt. You can use it to stop a leaky mess. You can use it when your nose starts to run. If you think about it, toilet paper can be used for almost anything. Continue reading →

Turn the page

Posted on December 28, 2011 by confessionsofaninsomniac

Life is throwing a lot of curve balls these days for the people in my life I love and care about. I hope together that we can all learn to become better people in hardship rather than let our ship sink. I spent the last few days determined to let my ship sink and destroy anything in my life that I came in contact with, but I think I am ready to fight again. This is our only life, people, let’s make it count!

Hold on for dear life

Posted on December 27, 2011 by confessionsofaninsomniac

Life is such a roller coaster ride. It requires two hands in the vehicle at all times … unless you are brave enough to let your hands free as you fly from one location to the next.

Apparently, I get a little too wild at times … waving my arms and legs in the air … and that can make for an extra bumpy ride. I just have to keep reminding myself that I am still on the same tracks and the ride will eventually calm down. I need to learn to hold on and let the ride happen on its own.

Moody Monday

Posted on December 19, 2011 by confessionsofaninsomniac

I want to believe that people are basically good, and then they go and prove me wrong. Why is the season of giving also the season of taking?

Hmmm … now I am sounding a bit like Debbie today.

Landed a job!

Posted on December 18, 2011 by confessionsofaninsomniac

Do you ever have so many changes occurring in your life that it is hard to find the right words to describe everything, so as a result you slack on updating your blog? Ha! That is where I stand at this point in time.

In good news, my PRN job is now a full-time position. Woohoo! I am finally employed with benefits. Now if you ask me if I like my job, that may take a little more time and thought to answer. Ha! It is a job and it is my field … nursing.

In all seriousness, I truly do love my new coworkers, and I mostly like what I do. If hospital politics were completely removed from the equation, my job would be mostly perfect.

That is a tiny update from your beloved insomniac …

Keep your head held high

Fight it, people. Fight the seasonal blues. Too many of my close friends are letting the mood of the season attack. Fight it. Resist the tears. Keep your head held high!

Debbie Downers depress me

Posted on December 9, 2011 by confessionsofaninsomniac

This is the season of Grinches and Scrooges …

Sure. We all get the blues this time of year. It is completely normal, but keep it to yourself! Don’t vent on the people around you who are trying to be friendly and nice … the people who genuinely want to be your friend. Pushing away the people who care about you is only going to make you feel more lonely and miserable.

Debbie Downers, if you want a little love and support in your life, embrace the help of the people around you and quit pushing them away. Get a little holiday spirit. Put up a Christmas tree and a wreath on your door. There is no reason to become an ASS this time of year. Check the bad attitude at the door! Get rid of the selfish, feeling sorry for yourself frame of mind!

Do you ever eat the forbidden fruit?

Posted on November 28, 2011 by confessionsofaninsomniac

Have you ever found yourself eating a candy bar that you know is horrible for you? It is the candy bar with the most calories that really doesn’t taste that fantastic, but it is the only one within reach. So, you find yourself walking past it over and over again … trying to talk yourself out of eating it since you know it will make you feel terrible about yourself later.

What do you do?

In a moment of weakness, you reach for the candy bar and gobble up the entire bar in one bite not even stopping to enjoy the mediocre flavors.

Later …

All you can do is hang your head in shame and know that once again you gave into your weak will and hope that you can refuse the candy on a second offering.

Sometimes staying healthy mentally and physically is quite a daunting task! Learn to say NO! No more evil candy!
