Can't Sleep.....Again

Its after 3:00 am my time, and I'm still up. I got up at 6:45 yesterday morning, and am still up just a few hours shy of 24 hours later. I'm not tired. Man, do I love my illnesses!! (Note the sarcasm dripping out of the computer screen.) Honestly I can't tell if I'm actually manic, or just really excited. No, wait, I'm pretty sure I'm manic. Thinking about it, I wouldn't be this excited about books if I wasn't manic. Don't get me wrong, books are one of the greatest inventions of all time (Things like FIRE and THE WHEEL come first), but this level of excitement goes beyond normalcy.

I finished New Moon about an hour ago (for the 4th time since April), and now I started The Guardian, which is a fairly short book, in my opinion, at a little over 300 pages. Most of the books I'm compelled to read are much longer than this one. Sarum is almost 1000 pages, which may explain why I've been reading it for three years. That, and it is an excellent book and I would highly recommend it, but its a slow read. So I'm really excited about reading this new book. I've started it and its really good so far. Its a love story (not to be confused with romance) and I'm a girly-girl, therefore, I need love stories in my life.

So, reading won out over homework tonight. I stared at my schedule book and textbook for about a half hour, then decided I would just read, because I felt like it. However, I may work on homework as long as I'm up. I'll get a lot done. If I don't get to sleep here in a little while, I won't be able to go to bed because I have to get up early for church because we aren't having our regular meetings; we're having stake conference tomorrow several hours earlier that I usually have church. I'm hitching a ride with a family down the street that has kids that are members of my singles branch. That's one great thing about this church (among countless more), everyone takes care of each other. The family called ME and asked me if I needed a ride because they heard about what had happened to my back and the medicine I'm on. I'm really starting to love that family. One of their daughters is one of my visiting teachers, so its kind of her duty to do stuff like that for me, but, actually, it wasn't her that called me. It was her brother. He's nice and seems pretty cool. He just returned from his mission a few weeks ago, so I haven't gotten the chance to get to know him very well, but I'm looking forward to it. Not in a romantic way or anything, he just seems like he's cool.

The biggest question right now, besides "To sleep or not to sleep...." is whether or not I want to stare at medical terms for a while. I'm not sure about that. I may try to go to sleep, but at this point in the night, considering when I have to get up, it may be smarter to just stay up and get my homework done, then crash after church tomorrow. That may be the best plan, because if I go to sleep now, I may not get up until after noon. Conference is from 10:00 to 12:00, so that would be bad. I'm really looking forward to conference tomorrow, well, later this morning, so I don't want to sleep through it.

Gaa! I suck at making decisions!
