Insomnia and the bookish butch

Another humid day,

grey,

pulling towards,

blue.

I’ve had a tough week,

insomnia,

and,

the full moon,

all joking aside,

it’s rough.

Those of you who suffer from insomnia, I can imagine shaking your head and saying I hear ya BB!!

When you are,

sleep deprived,

all your emotions,

and,

insecurities,

are amplified,

it’s no wonder,

it’s considered,

an effective means of,

torture:-)

When you can’t sleep,

advice abounds,

usually from people,

who experience,

no problems,

sleeping.

They tell you,

things,

like,

go to bed earlier,

drink warm milk,

have you thought of,

drinking less coffee!!

If I go to bed earlier,

the insomnia lasts longuer,

warm milk gives me heartburn,

chamomille makes me pee,

and,

the only thing,

that keeps me functional,

is,

COFFEE.

One thing that,

helps,

is having,

a good book,

not too deep,

insomnia does make you slightly brain dead:-)

maybe,

a little bit romantic,

a little bit funny,

comforting,

grilled cheese,

type reading.

I luckily had,

such a book,

over the last,

couple of days.

A lesbian fiction,

a romance,

not too romantic,

not too steamy,

just right,

plus it was a,

gift,

from a wonderful,

woman,

she gives me, many gifts,but,chief amongst them,is her friendship,and,her smile.:-)

 The book is,

Butch Girls Can Fix Anything,

Truth in fiction?? 🙂

the author is,

Paula Offutt,

a nice read,

not perfect,

but,

what is?

A butch positive,

love story,

with likeable characters,

and a mostly,

believable plot.

Just what the,

doctor ordered,

for an insomiac,

insecure butch:-)

It’s nice to know,

some women,

still like,

butch women

<wink>

Side note- August 18 th is butch appreciation day, don’t forget to express your appreciation to your favourite butch, it’s sort of like Valentine’s day, even if you do it regularly, appreciate I mean, nothing wrong with doing it on a quasi official day.

Well,

I’ve got work to do.

Later girls,

BB

p.s. with more sleep my coherence will undoubtedly go up 🙂
