Things To Worry About ...

It has started out as a surprisingly great day

well as great as any day can be when you are up at 5.30 am

but early start aside

I have finished the painting of Manon's tea tin which has been on my desk all week

and I didn't go mad painting the patterns on the red tin like I feared I might

I have a whole morning free and clear to paint to my heart's content

and I am snot free which means I am no longer thinking that I am dying

the only thing is that with that worry gone it seems to have opened the floodgates

and I spent about two hours lying in bed last night worrying about all sorts of other things

Now don't judge me because remember it was late and I was sleep deprived

but here are some of the things I was worrying about....

That I couldn't remember where the thing is that I need to send with the other thing

that I couldn't remember the other day, or was it last week

That if they keep breeding smaller and smaller mini horses that they might make one small enough to be classified a tea cup horse ... like a tea cup poodle

and then we might see celebrities carrying them around in carry bags

that perhaps one of those blanket things with sleeves isn't such a bad idea

What if the Kardashians are on tv forever

or if there was a world wide tea shortage and I only have a stockpile to last maybe a year

then I remembered the thing was behind the big box in the cupboard behind the doodad

and considered if the guy who played McGyver is looking old, does that mean that I am also

I then worried that the avocado painting that I did earlier was lacking in structure

which took hold so bad that I actually got out of bed and came down and checked on it

at which point I decided that I was going around the twist

and would go and read until I was sleepy

But that led to its own hassles as I just finished a book earlier

and should I start a new one at 1 am???

and which book do I start... do I just read the next one on the pile

or do I pick something quick because the next China Mielville book is due to arrive

which necessitated me sneaking around the study/library

with my phone acting as a torch to try to find a suitable book

which woke up the dog who came to see what I was up to

though when I asked him what book he thought I should start next he was no help

 which was a low point so I headed back to bed with a few books

though didn't read any

because I was busy wondering what the dog would sound like if he could actually speak

I kind of think Mushu would sound like yoda or a surfer dude

which is the last thought I can remember before being being woken by my alarm

the upshot of it all is that I woke up this morning with the imprint of two novels in my face

but managed to find the thing that needed to be sent with the other thing

and I finished Manon's tea painting

so maybe a bit of evening worry isn't a bad thing

though it did get me wondering what sort of things keep other people awake at night????
