Sleep doesn't come easy on a night like this...

It's 2:30 am. I know this because the dull green light of my alarm clock is aimed directly at my face. I graduate college in a little over a week and I find myself unable to sleep thanks to the uncertainties of tomorrow,  but I won't depress you with those details.  I prayed about it, and something about my conversation with God is telling me to let it go. But, I still can't sleep. My homework is complete,  and my house is secure. The bedroom is a comfortable 73-degrees.  I should have no trouble snoozing off....but I'm still awake.  Now, let me tell you why...
-American Dad has lost my interest
-the crime dramas I normally watch just make me nervous after dark
-I started a new book with the hopes of going to sleep while reading it; I just got bored with it.
-my cd collection is now organized
-who listens to cd's anymore?
-is my milk fresh?
-I've contemplated my next car purchase...I need to know what my salary will be before I can nail that down, and now we're back to the job issue; moving on...
-I'll go to St. Simons; if I leave now I can see the sun rise...oh wait,  I still have school
-if I were married now, I wonder what my wife would say about me still being up?
-I don't want to workout in 3 hours
-But, I should go...I'll see if I'm still up at that point.
-I could go for a late night drive and listen to music...but, gas is too expensive
-I KNOW, I'll clean my kitchen...hahaha, yeah right
-I need new clothes
-maybe I'll get a cat to keep me company
-I'm allergic to cats
-I should write a book
-or just blog for a little bit; maybe that will make me sleepy.
These are all the thoughts that have passed through my head, and the things that I have done to try to go to sleep...With no avail.  Oh well...morning will be here soon.
