Insomnia

Tuesday marks 3 weeks since Reed left. I have thoroughly cleaned the entire house. It feels so nice coming home to a clean house, but I sure to miss him. I have never had a problem sleeping....until Reed left for basic that is. When he first left last year I had a small bout of insomnia, but after about a week or so it went away. Well, now the insomnia is back. My body feels tired, but my mind won't let me sleep. I thought insomnia was bad in Lubbock, but it is so much worse here in Alaska. At least in Lubbock it would dark, which seemed to help some, but here is a totally different story. It's almost midnight here and still bright outside. I'm hoping that this bout of insomnia goes away quickly and that I will soon be back into a more normal sleeping pattern without Reed here. I did it before and I know I can do it again....just hopefully it will happen soon! Other than the sleeping issue things have been pretty good since he left. I can't believe it's already been 3 weeks. At times it feels like we just said goodbye a couple days ago, but there are other times when it feels like he has been gone forever. I have gotten a lot of things accomplished around the house in these last three weeks. I was able to talk with Reed this morning. He is doing good; says that they are keeping him very busy over there, but he's doing good.
