Practically perfect in everyway

BlogFEST day 2 - Susan at Today's Working Woman threw this prompt at us: Sleepless nights

"Over the years, I have gone through periods of insomnia, but I know that one person's reason for a sleepless night can be wildly different from the next person's. So when was the last time you couldn't sleep? What was the reason for not sleeping? What did you do to overcome it? I hope you all have fun with this one and don't lose any sleep over it!"

Every 6 weeks (or so, if I remember...) I see the doctor for a check-up on my wacky thyroid. This has been going on since my daughter was born, so I have had roughly 18 years of hearing one or both of the following questions... "Have you been taking your prescription?" "Have you been feeling tired lately?" 

Yes, I take the medication - it has been 18 years Doc, you should know by now that for whatever reason sometimes I am UP and sometimes I am DOWN....

As for the second question. Seriously?  Yes, I am tired sometimes. Sure, maybe it is because of my wacky misfiring thyroid or maybe, just maybe it is because I love that double shot of energy that hits in the middle of the night - the one where I can suddenly write 3 or 4X as much or figure out how to teach a certain project or feel suddenly inspired to completely clean the entire house..... or read a book from cover to cover just because I can.

Insomnia?

 Nah, it is just my super powers firing back up tis all.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Mary Poppins scenes;

Mr. Banks: Will you be good enough to explain all this?
Mary Poppins: First of all, I would like to make one thing quite clear.
Mr. Banks: Yes?
Mary Poppins: I never explain anything.


.....and irrelevant, but classic "

"As I expected: 'Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way.'"

Sleep or no sleep - body working properly or not - we should all have a tape measure (scale, report card, progress report...) with our name on it.

*insert name* Practically Perfect in Everyway.
