cruel night

How does this work? How is it possible to be so tired - my eyes are too tired to read - but unable to sleep? Insomnia is such a cruel, horrible trick. When I was in Japan, I was always prepared to spend the night talking on the phone if I couldn't sleep. Calling all the people I was missing back home coud've filled up a weeks worth of sleepless nights, but here in Spain I have no way of calling home. And Jesse couldn't fall asleep until late, too, so I can't wake him up to sympathize and keep me company.

Damn, damn, damn, damn. I want to call my momm. And Erin. And a million other people I need to catch up with.
