Boredom

My daughter's boyfriend was supposed to graduate boot camp tomorrow, however, he failed his PT test and now won't be graduating until who knows when. (We've been told various things as to what the Army will now do with him) So instead of sitting at home crying because she won't be able to see him, my daughter is now visiting my sister in Salsbury MD. I hadnt planned on making the trip to SC if he had graduated, so either way, I would be pretty much home alone. (my youngest son is home, well sort of, he is 16 and has a girlfriend, so how often do you think I'm going to see him in the next few days??)
During the day, I seem to be ok, heck I'm working most of the time, so I don't have time to think about my daughter and the grandbaby being away from home for the first time. I'm still working seven days a week, so I'm pretty busy everyday until about this time.
Now I can't sleep. I tried going to bed about an hour ago, and just laid there. Got a book out, started to read it and felt like I was falling asleep, so I reached up, turned the light out and guess what?? I'm wide awake again!!!
My first reaction was to head to the refrigerator, once there I actually got some food out to make a sandwich, then decided I wasn't really all that hungry and grabbed an apple instead. I'm really NOT hungry, but it felt like a good idea at the time. At least my brain was smart enough to switch to a piece of fruit instead of a sandwich I really didn't need anyhow, right??
Maybe I'll find something on tv now that will help me fall asleep. This is crazy.  I want to go to sleep. :(

Boredom can be my demon too as far as grazing goes.  I haven't been sleeping lately, kind of  bouncing off the walls with energy, so if you are around late and want to chat, post something on the board and if I am here I would be happy to chat with you....I can be very entertaining LOL   I am here now if you want to chat for awhile....
