3:30 a.m. and wide awake

Well, it's 3:30 a.m. and I'm wide awake. I've been awake for the past 3 hours. My ear infection is now a double ear infection. I went to my doc today (well, actually yesterday, I guess) for stronger antibiotics. He said I should feel better in another day or two. I sure hope so. People are getting tired of repeating everything they tell me because I plain cannot hear them!

Some things I've observed over the past 3 hours: The dalmatian cannot hear when she is sleeping on her left side with the right ear up. I went to the livingroom to get the laptop, which was on the table next to her. She didn't hear a thing.
My normally quiet neighborhood gets a little loud with airplanes (probably UPS) flying in. Here comes another one now! I'm about 12 miles due north of the airport, but pretty close to the flight path. More must land at night than during the day. There have also been a few fire calls as I've heard sirens several times. The firehouse is about 1/2 mile from my house and the trucks run down the street the next block over.
There are funny clunks and noises around my house at night. If I was younger I'd probably be hiding under the blankets in fear.
The lhasapoo takes up more than his fair share of the bed. That might answer the question of why all my blankets are wrapped around me at the edge of the bed. Who would have thought that a 13 pound dog could stretch the width of a full bed.
Well, better put this thing down and try to at least nap. Let's see, if I fall asleep now I can get another 2 hours of sleep. Have you ever played that game? If I fall asleep now, I can get ____hours of sleep. You look at the clock awhile later and think the same thing. Keep repeating until the alarm goes off or the radio goes on. Hit the snooze and hope for at least 9 minutes of sleep. Repeat until the last moment that you know you have to get up to make it to work in time by just throwing on clothes, running a brush through your hair, and chewing Dentyne instead of brushing your teeth.
Good night all!
