Man, I had a heck of a time falling asleep last night.  All-in-all I think I logged about ten real minutes of sleep.  Have you ever had one of those nights where your mind just wouldn’t shut down long enough for you to conk out?  My wheels were turning all night it seemed.  Initially, while watching “Bobs Burgers”, I began to think how fun a career doing voice overs must be.  I wonder if they drive home from work deep in thought about their day like I do?  That morphed into me thinking about my book “My Aumakua” and my new work beginning  on the audio-book version.  I was wondering if I had enough range to bring my characters to life the way they deserve to be.  That, then brought me into my new world being scribbled onto paper from my imagination called “Scraping Bottom” which had me finding some paper and a pen to jot down some notes.  At that point, I decided to pick up my trusty Kindle and read someone else’s writing for a bit in the hopes I could get a bit drowsy.  Not to say the story I am into is boring or anything, just that sometimes reading helps me fall asleep.  Well, not this time.  I am reading about the 1966, 24 Hour of Le Mans auto race, which somehow got me thinking about all the little tinkering projects I have been wanting to tackle on my reliable ol’ Ranger.  Cut to 1:30 in the morning.  That damn alarm is going to go off in two and a half hours.  Ridiculous!  Stagger out the door, coffee in hand, “Where the hell did I park the car?”  Almost time to try again tonight.  Wish me luck.  #countingsheep #melitonin #myaumakua
