First cricket: Subject has exited the bathroom. I repeat. Subject has exited the bathroom. Over.

Second cricket: iPhone light spotted in bedroom. Over.

First cricket: Commence chirping. Over.

Second cricket. Heard. Over.

oO(sigh)

did you get them silenced?

 

[maddysmamaw]

No. But I turned on the fan so I can't hear them and I'm warm and relaxed from my bath, so they're now relegated to background white noise. Tha lavender Calgon and my Canadian friend have relaxed me enough that I may actually fall asleep before dawn. (Fingers crossed)

This is a nightly occurrence for me. I've suffered insomnia my entire life, but the older I get the harder it is to bounce back. I'll sleep till about nine. If I'm lucky.

Not sure what these are but boy they're loud. Sounds like a army of them outside

Bypassed dos xx in favor of my misty Canadian friend, but there is a lone cricket outside the bathroom window who is taking his job way too seriously. Totally disrupting my calgon time. I'm sitting here soaking and onsidering the fire power I'd need to take him out.

lol

I can hear Lemondrop crowing. Bless his heart. I think I can sleep now. Goodnight to all my sweet OF friends. Please pardon my manic rambling. I usually don't make this side of myself public, so if I've offended anyone you have my heartfelt apologies. Much love to you all.

That's a katydid. My middle name is Kay, and my dad always called me Sandra katydid. Like a grasshopper on steroids.

God I hate the name Sandra. I've always been just Sandi

Oh great. Now my nose is stuffy. Will I ever sleep???? Inquiring minds want to know. Now y'all see why I'm absent for long periods of time. I don't like to subject others to my weirdness
