Tried to Get to Sleep Last Night, but. . .

I tried to get to sleep last night but my body wouldn't let me.  Let me explain.  My ears are still plugged up somewhere from my throat to my head.  So, I can't hear very well at all.  Since I couldn't hear much of anything else, my own body sounds were exceptionally loud.  The loudest of all was my heart beat.  Yes, I really like my heart to beat and don't wish it to quit.  The trouble was that since I could hardly hear anything else, my heart beat kept me awake.  I guess if something is going to keep me awake, it may as well be my own heart beating.

It is surprising what all kinds of sounds can come from the human body.  Some we like and share (singing, talking, poetry) but others we try to hide or stare at the person next to you as if they did it.  I think you know what I mean, like loudly passing gas in a mixed crowd or loud stomach rumblings when you are sitting in a church service.  Now don't tell me you don't know what I am talking about!!  Yes, I too have been there, done that.

Well, I did finally get to sleep.  Today started bright and sunny but now in the mid afternoon, the clouds are building up.  There is only a slight chance of thunder storms or rain.  Now, you all have a great day, you hear?
