Damnit!

Last night, as I was falling asleep, something crossed my mind that I wanted to write about, something that I thought would make a good blog post. I remember thinking, I should start a draft of this or send myself a text so I remember tomorrow and can actually write the piece. The comfortable, sleepy part of my mind said, “Nah, you’ll remember. We’ll think about nothing but that before we fall asleep, and you’ll remember first thing! Just relax, you had a shit day!” Did any of that thinking or remembering actually happen? No. Not at all. Not even a little. That lazy little piece of my brain hung on to that coziness and let me forget all about the inspiration! And all day, I had this nagging piece of my brain obsessing over it. “What the hell was that topic? I really wanted to write about that! It was a great idea!” Suffice it to say that I won’t be doing that again the foreseeable future, even if it means getting less sleep.
