I am still wide awake and it is almost two o’clock in the morning. I have no clue why sleep had eluded me last night, because for the past few months I had been nothing short of narcoleptic, at least figuratively. I had been sleeping at almost the same time every night and enjoying a ten to twelve-hour slumber. Not to mention my afternoon naps.
So why am I still up at this God forsaken hour?
Maybe it is something I ate last night. The thing is, I only had taco soup. I had eaten the dish many times before, and never had any effect on me, or my sleeping pattern.
Maybe it isn’t the food itself, but the quantity I binged on.
Maybe it is the new game I got and I wanted to get ahead already.
Maybe it is the idea that came to me earlier in the evening, which excites me to no end.
Whatever it is, it got me writing here; finally letting y’all know I’m still kickin’.
Hey.
The daily grind sure takes a hold of everyone. Now that school’s out, the three hours that I used to have to myself when Alex had been in school is now gone, temporarily. To be honest, I miss those three hours. Haha. Those three wonderful hours when I can do “me” stuff. It had been mine to spend as I saw fit – doing chores, getting a mani/pedi, catching up with TV series, reading a book, taking a mid-morning nap. Ah, but summer break is only for two months, might as well come up with ideas to have a blast with Alex.
But I still need my “me” time. And these days, I am hooked on one thing – my simple form of escape.
My virtual homestead at Frontierville
Playing Frontierville.
As of today, I am on level 41 and have 18 missions to finish. I have quite a “to do” list of virtual chores for my virtual homestead. Isn’t that ironic?
I have played several games on Facebook – Farmville, Cityville, Millionaire City, Baking Life – to name a few. However, I really love the idea of Frontierville. It’s like a story somehow. It’s so easy to play, too. At first I had a hard time leveling up and finishing missions, but then I found the simple solution to it – have a lot of friends, give gifts and play whenever I have time.
The events of yesterday has left me with the entire spectrum of emotions all raging inside my heart and a multitude of thoughts and questions running inside my head. Saying I am overwhelmed by it all is an understatement. I feel like exploding.
If I were a painting, this is what I would look like, right now, in my current state of mind and emotions.
