You guys, I have found the lamest reason for insomnia ever. No, you're gonna love this.

It's not because I thought I was more tired than I was and went to bed too early. Oh, no. I am tired.

It's not because I can't get my mind to slow down enough to sleep, which is a recurring problem for me and generally keeps me awake for an hour or so.

Nope. Those are normal reasons to have insomnia.

No, the reason I have insomnia tonight is because every time I start to fall asleep, my throat starts to tickle. And then I have to wake up enough to either cough or refuse to cough.

And now, of course, I'm pissed off, to the point where I actually hauled my laptop out to write this nonsense. Stupid throat.

Okay. Hoping I've bitched it out of my system. Going to go try again because I am yawning as I type.

manderspander has come down to visit with family and, as is the tradition when she does so, I am going over to spend the night (and will thus be unavailable tonight, rendering last night's insomnia even more frustrating because it feels like wasted time). I'm a little nervous about this, because last time I visited with Amanda, trade deadline happened. I had better the fuck not come home tomorrow to discover that Bondo is a Brewer or something. I will accept coming home to find that Boomer is a Padre or a Dodger, because enough with the damn waiting already, let's make some shit happen so I can start dreaming up ways to torment Derek Lowe, but that is it. Any other trades my teams want to make, I'm sorry, but you're just going to have to clear it with me first, because you will not ruin my visit like you did last time.
