Karma Chameleon
This morning marked the fifth night in a row that I had trouble sleeping. I've been racking my tired brain trying to figure out why. Why? Why? WHY???? My first thought was the 65% dark chocolate with cocoa nibs I've been nibbling on bit by bit. Could it possibly have enough caffeine to keep me wide-eyed throughout the night? So I stopped eating it after the afternoon. It wasn't that. Then I wondered if it was the Tahitian Vanilla Hazelnut Yogi tea I've been enjoying as of late. It says caffeine free, is it possible that 'ole devil of a yogi was lying to me about the contents? It wasn't that. I pondered the Feng Shui of my room but it seems to be in order. It wasn't that. Could it be my chosen pajamas for the week? So last night I decided to try out the new L.A.M.B. sweat pants that I just got. It wasn't that, unfortunately. Do I have a guilty conscious? Maybe. Is it bad Karma? Probably. For what??? I had a conversation last night with a friend about this very subject. He thinks that you should expect good things when you give them. I don't think you should. I think they happen, but its not an automatic benefit. But I do think that its perfectly ok to blame karma when bad things happen. Its time to audit my life. Have I done something terrible lately? Have I wronged someone and need to make it right? I can't think of anything........really, I can't. Let's see - I brought a sick man popsicles, I feel like Abuelas personal slave, I have filled in at work, I clean my bathroom regularly, I sent out Christmas cards, I cleaned my ears, I made a new friend, I'm caught up at school................. Nothin, I got nothin. Tonight I'm hoping for a Christmas Carol type miracle where three ghosts, hopefully famous, will come and show me the error of my ways - or at least a friend calling to air their grievances about me so I can apologize. The last thing I want is another morning like today where I hear "what is with your face"? Its tired, my face is tired.

I can't sleep during stressful times, and finals/holidays definitely count. We all have problems sleeping, I think it's heredity.
I think it is your guilty conscience.
I'm going to go with it's your guilty conscience for not calling your host brothers for a rousing game of pool every once and awhile. I don't know, just a thought.
