Sometimes I get to wondering where popular icons from my childhood went. I don’t know why. I never liked or was interested in her music, but for some reason, someone who was so pervasive and seemingly universally successful in her field sticks out in my head at the most random times.

Hrm.

I had a hallucination today. Yep yep. I blame it on the damn hell overnight shifts at work. I had been up by this time for about 24 hours and when I glanced at this package of labels sitting on a desk beside me, they started rotating slowly. I did stare at it long enough to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing and then closed my eyes for a second. They stopped rotating after that. Given that I have been diagnosed with insomnia and never had this occur before, it was a little disconcerting. However, I believe something along the lines of 30% of the population who experience mild sleep deprivation have small hallucinations. Maybe this is to include me, in my old age.

I couldn’t go to sleep for about an hour after I got off of work. I don’t understand me.

On another note, this was my daily devotional today:

“Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise. Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” - Proverbs 19:20-21

I went to sleep, finally, with that in my head. And yeah, a million other people today probably read the exact same thing and found it just as applicable in their life as I do in mine, but those million other people are not me. It’s applicable for a reason, specifically, for me. And for that, I can be thankful.

And I am.
