Sleepytime mottos

Usually when I say, “It’s vital to my health and well-being”, I’m talking about some sort of play I want to be in, or something sweet.

But this time, I’m talking about sleep.

Oh…woe is me! The night before last I didn’t sleep well because of all the caffeine I had beforehand. But last night, I didn’t technically have anything of that sort. I went out with Amy and Katherine, and we stopped by their favorite coffee shop (that one with the elk-thing as its logo) and I got some decaf minty-something. It was good. Then we went to Wal-mart and I got hyper because we were shopping. I bought a hoodie, a keychain and some mints.

I got home about 11:15. I went to bed about 12:15. Then I woke up after what felt like the longest time. I looked over at the clock and it said 12:45.

What is it with me??

I tossed and turned the rest of the night, having some strange dream where there was a law that everybody had to dress as either a sledgehammer, anvil, or something else potentially dangerous for Halloween.

So, I’m wondering if it’s the sugar, or just my cold that haunts me. I don’t really have a cold at all, except (apparently) when I lay down to sleep. How convenient.

I don’t know. I’ll get back to you on that.

Now, the hoodie I got says, “Strength, Spirit, Sport.” I like that a lot. It’s a new motto of mine.

You: “Not another motto!!!”

Oh, you be quiet. I love strength. It makes me feel powerful (thank you, Capt. Obvious). Just the sound of it makes me think about muscles. But there’s also mental strength, which is really more of the spirit part. Both of these build up to the sport part. It’s kind of like in 2nd Peter where God is telling us things to add to our faith (if you’re lost, just play along). They are virtues that produce a fruitful Christian life. Strength and spirit produce a “fruitful” sport. In other words, you’ll prosper.

Anyway, I’ve got to head over to my grandma’s and eat pizza. So long!
