It is two thirty in the morning as I write this and I can’t sleep. I tried staying awake to watch the show Top Chef and was able to make it through the first half but dozed off after that. I woke up four hours later and what was playing on the television? Yup, Top Chef…and I woke up at the spot where I dozed off…how strange is that.

Watching the clock, wanting to go to bed, closing my eyes and they won’t stay closed! Sure, there are lots of things on my mind, both personal and professional, but that shouldn’t be the reason. After reflecting and writing some thoughts down, I now see that my alarm clock is going to sound in less than an hour. This is going to be some day after only four hours of sleep…and not the good kind of sleep I would like. Frustration, on so many levels and in so many ways.

The only consolation here is that I was able to awake and see my second to least favorite cheftestant eliminated from the show for her poor cheese selection in the final dish. Yay.
