........there are some sleepless moments that get to happen. Sometimes that's because there's too much energy at bedtime, sometimes it's a head full of 'stuff' that's not been sorted through--sometimes turning the brain off just doesn't happen....sometimes it's eating the wrong thing (so I'm told) and sometimes it's simply a lack of tiredness.
I think it was a blend of multiples in my case.
I pulled the laptop from the dressers' top and turned it on.
Now--one would have to understand that I've failed to use the darn thing for months and months....like six or eight months worth of months. Which meant six or eight months worth of updates and scanning and downloading and......stuff.
Any thought that I'd simply get online and do some reading and perusing of web logs needed to be chalked up to a pipe dream--everything was running as it tried to update and make things talk to each other.
Did that stop me from trying to open the web browser--no..... (duh.....like it needed one more thing to think on..)....the whirling circle stopped whirling again and again--not because it was freezing, mind you, it was simply stuck on a thought that it wasn't ready to move from. I'd unstick it. of course--the ol' control/alt/delete deal again-- and gee.....BACK it would go through the whole process.....again.....
Gee......
The darn thing was doing what I was doing. *laughing*
So I sat and waited, refraining from the pushing of control/alt/delete--no point in ending the stuck appearing whirling circle--it simply need to run its course and I needed to LET it.
Darn laptop didn't have permission to act....... like ME.
And lessons in 'keep doing whatcher doin', keep getting whatcher getting....' didn't need dropped in my lap courtesy of the silly machine at two in the morning.
Right?
Oh that sense of humour that the Big Guy has is realllllllllllllly starting to wear on me......
*laughing!!*

Hi Mel,
Yes, sometimes we have to "kick overselves" gently to stop tinkering and let things take their course...
Though, 2 in the morning is awfully early to learn that lesson!
The number of times I've thought, just look at something else while it gets on with doing its thing. Going to bed would be as much use even if you didn't sleep! It's a very hard lesson at any time of day, never mind 2 am.
