Pretending

Occasionally, it's hard for me to fall asleep. I have a little something that I do to help that along.

I pretend that I'm a clam.


My legs look odd because I'm busy rubbing my feet together. I have to do that before I go to sleep.

You can't see them in the photo, but the earplugs are in so everything is muffled. Just like it would be if I were underwater. I fold myself over like that and chant, "I am a clam. I am a clam." in my head, over and over again until I fall asleep.

It's also fun to cover up completely with the sheet and stick one foot out. I flip it around and pretend it's my clam foot and that I'm trying to kick it in the sand so I can move along the sea floor.

If I want to lay on my stomach - I pretend that I'm an ear of corn.

Have a lovely Half Nekkid Thursday!

I said in your last post that you were goofy. I don't believe that's changed...

The last 2 posts are products of a sleep-deprived mind. It makes me goofy. Then it makes me sad. Then it makes me crazy. I'm moving from goofy to sad today.

I think I'll get some sleeping pills on my way home tonight. This shit is for the birds!

Chickie honey you never EVER fail to surprise me or make me smile and laugh. We have GOT to meet IRL. Somehow. Someway.

Sleep...is something I have to WORK at! People who fall asleep immediately upon laying down, totally amaze me. Sleep has never been good for me. I wake every hour or so and never have a SOUND sleep. Good luck little Clam (or ear of corn!)

I rub my feet together also to fall asleep. I especially like to when I have new socks on. LOL

Sleep. Someday I'll do it and wake up refreshed. Must be nice.

Joey - brilliant as usual.

I am suddenly hungry for corn and clams.

Chickie said...

Monogram Queen - Yes, we must meet! I'm working on getting a new schedule where I'll be off on the weekends. If I get it, it is a sign to meet up with you somewhere!

themom - I never go to sleep quickly but usually it's for the night once I go down. Lately, I've been awake every freaking hour, listening to Sweety snore blissfully.

Anonymous - I don't wear socks but I like it when the sheets have been freshly washed. After awhile, I can't tell if my feet are rubbing each other or the sheet.

Joey Polanski - Don't you know that alligators come out of the drains in Florida? I can't sleep in there!

SagaciousHillbilly - Refreshed? What's that?

Mike - I make a very nice, invisible clam/corn chowder.

Clam, corn, whatever, as long as you are prettily wrapped up in that sheet.
