Not Sleepy

I had to get out of bed because I was in no way tired enough to go to sleep. I hear if you are having trouble sleeping, you should get up again and do something else. Staying in bed somehow trains your body into thinking bed doesn't always equal sleep and it doesn't try and switch off.

I have to admit, it's a strange feeling for me. Before the medication I slept like the dead. The concept of not being able to sleep was completely foreign to me. I understand now what people mean.

A couple of things that have been on my mind over the past couple of days...

• I am thinking of getting another tattoo. My ideas are pretty out there, and the simplest one I can think of will be the one that causes the most chaos. People are going to think I am crazy.
• Travelling to Eastern Europe. I mentioned this to a friend the other day and it's basically snowballed inside my head. I always wanted to go, since reading two books as a kid - No Guns for Asmir and Escape from Sarajevo. I don't know what it is, but I find the areas so fascinating. It will be a big trip. I think I'll have a hard time trying to convince the hubby to go. But I think I am just going to go.
