Can't sleep

One of the gifts of this annus horribilis has been insomnia. I meant that sarcastically, but now that I've written it, I'm not so sure. Here I am on the living room couch, reading blogs, thinking about teaching, with my dog keeping me company in the quiet of the night. It's very peaceful. I've always thought that if I can't sleep I should get up and try to figure out the reason why, and then fix it, but I'm actually feeling quite content here right now. Go figure.
