Midnight Snack
I was staring at our kitchen light in between bites. It was midnight and I couldn’t sleep. So, I got up and made myself a cold turkey sandwich. I also drank ice cold orange juice since I was not in the mood for anything hot.
It has been two nights in a row. Why can’t I sleep early? I had been tossing and turning in bed since 9:30 in the evening. This sleeping difficulty maybe caused by my current addiction to coffee. Lately, I have been consuming 5 tall lattes in the afternoon. That does not count the additional 3 more I drink in the morning.
Maybe it’s because of my job as well. Lately, I have been so stressed and pressured when meeting almost impossible deadlines. My non-existent social life is no help either. Most of my friends are busy as well and I could bear going out alone.
As I chewed my turkey sandwich, I thought about all the great times I had during college. When everything was hectic yet laid back. I got to party all the time I want but also making sure that I passed all my classes. Where have the good times gone? Maybe I’m just getting old.
