Brain faucet, stuck open all night

I was unable to fall asleep until 4 a.m. last night (haha actually this morning I guess). Stupid brain would not shut up.

A sampling of thoughts that were running unchecked at full volume:

• How to alter some pants to fit my big fat calves without ruining them.
• How much it’s going to cost to fix the bathtub.
• Why do my shoulders hurt all the time, do I have “frozen shoulder” and will it ever go away?
• Is everyone just pretending to like me?
• Lists of food I like from A to Z.
• Lists of animals I like backwards from Z to A.
• Did I really need to know that I am a carrier for some weird genetic disease that ruins both kidneys and retinas, and will it activate and kill me at some point even though it’s a recessive gene?
• Do we have enough lettuce for tomorrow night’s salad?
• What should I bring to work for lunch this week?

And all the while there was nonstop background music that I could not turn off. I don’t know how to make music stop in my brain, it is ALWAYS on. I guess that is… normal?

Maybe I will take a melatonin tonight…

In other news, I walked into Michaels this morning to attempt to find some sewing supplies to alter the abovementioned pants to fit over my big fat calves — since Joann’s went out of business, that’s basically my only real option — and I was greeted with THIS. I guess June is now the time when we are supposed to start thinking about Halloween?

And lastly, I’m working on my Evil Genius pose, with a cat under each arm. Mua-hahahahahaha!
