Violent behavior + Earthquake = NO Sleep

Posted by Sunlight on March 02, 2001 at 03:44:36:

Hello Friends,
Yep! My once ‘quaint little coffee town’ is now a real riot!
First FTO now Marti-Gra…... Idiots! I was up watching the live news coverage of the horrifying violence taking place a few short miles away from me. It made me so angry, that I was wired all night. I didn’t sleep till 5:30am then I woke up at 8:30am. And was absolutely in a haze like state, with no ability to stay focused on anything or even keep my balance. And at like 10:AM one of my cats started meowing so loud and weird. Not her normal meow. I could not shut her up for anything, she wouldn't even sniff her catnip. She would also not leave me alone, she was following me around the house, into every room with her piercingly obnoxious meow. At one point, I wondered if I was “dreaming,” that she was possessed.

I was in such an altered, foggy, headachy state ,that when the Earth started moving….I thought it was Me being dizzy!! Until I started hearing things break all over the place, as stuff came off the walls and shelf’s.
Then I thought, I must be dreaming because, things don’t start falling off the walls when I get dizzy. The only thing that usually falls….. is me! Then It hit me (not a object) but that fact that Seattle is actually having an earthquake. Gee, guess I won’t be getting that much needed nap any time soon!

I have had such terrible nightmares. That with my luck, I would probably dream that: “The earth was trying to eat me alive, by a crack in the ground . And I’m getting beaten to a bloody pulp by rocks, that act as the earths teeth. I’ll have no shirt on, and the beads around my neck ,will be choking me. As I scream for help. But all that will come out of my mouth is Meow!! Or something similarly twisted!
It’s now the 2nd morning after 3:50AM and I have slept 3 hr in the last 4 days!!!

**Any suggestion on how to take my mind off of things, long enough to get a little sleep???**

Thank You! Cheers!
