Things I Do When I Can't Sleep
- Think up brilliant story plots and titles for novels. Which I totally forget about the next day.
- Eat cereal with bananas. If I have any cereal. And bananas. And milk. But it's really nice when the universe smiles upon me, and I have all three handy.
- Start creating photo books on Shutterfly or Snapfish. Sometimes I even finish one.
- Google random people from my past. But not for nefarious purposes. Just for fun.
- Read the first couple of chapters of Three Men in a Boat (to Say Nothing of the Dog). Unlike the narrator, I think I must have housemaid's knee.
- Look through my New York City guidebooks to see what I simply must do that I haven't done so far. Alas, the list is long.
- Rearrange my teapots. Yes, I have enough teapots to rearrange.
- Wonder about what became of products advertised when I was little. Hazel Bishop Lipstick. Gleem Toothpaste. Prell Shampoo. Fizzies.
- Make lists. Grocery. Stuff I need for the apartment. Gifts for various family and friends. Bills to be paid.
- Worry about how lousy I'm going to feel when the alarm goes off in the morning.

Cereal and banana - one of my favourite things!
I too sometimes google people from my past - when I can remember their names!
On the radio the other day I heard an episode from what I think must be a 'sequel' to Three Men where they visit Paris. I'd never heard of it before.
