I am not particularly good at sleep. I either sleep too much or sleep not enough. I don't sleep all the way through the night, and never have. When I first got to New Zealand, I was finally sleeping well, but lately, my sleeping has been acting up again. Last night, however, I even surprised myself.
Besides having some creepy dreams (and I mean creepier than normal), I woke up with my knee hurting. No bother, I frequently wake up with latent stiffness or bruising from soccer. I sat down at my computer to chat with a friend and when I got up to go work out, I almost fell over. Hm. This was not normal. While trying to put on shorts to work out in, my knee was really burning. I had twisted my knee in my sleep!
After my shower, the bruise started to show up on the outside of my knee. I am dumbfounded. I mean, don't get me wrong; I'll be back to working out tomorrow. I am not limping or anything, but it sure does sting when I walk. Who does that? How can I respond, "Um... I was asleep" when people ask how I hurt myself? I best be careful with my sleeping tendencies; next, I'll wake up with a broken arm or something.

i used to be so amazing at sleeping, but now with the new school year approaching and me a nervous wreck i have been having more and more restless nights... i haven't hurt myself yet, but i wouldn't take self-mutilation completely out of the picture yet either. on a side note: i finally got magnets for my refrigerator and some of them are ones that you can put pictures in, so one of my four picture magnets has a picture of the two of us from that one time i came to visit you at valpo. i look at you and smile every morning when i'm getting out my milk to put on my cereal. God bless you dear.
