The Continuing Saga of Prosperous Snow |
30-Day blogging challenge Day 23: July 23, 2011 ~ Prompt: Before The Night Sleep “Write about what you think about that moment before you go to sleep.” An endless list of questions scampers through my mind before I go to sleep. Here are some of them. Is that the fan or is the house breathing? Is that the wind or someone knocking at the window? Did I lock the security screen as well as the front door? Did I set the alarm at 4:00 AM? Did I hear Mom getting out of bed? Is that Mom talking or is someone else in the house? Did I roll the car windows up? Will it rain tonight? Should I leave the thermostat set at 82 degrees or turn it up to 85? Did I write a haiku today? Should I call my sister tomorrow or wait until Monday? Did I lock the sliding glass door to the patio? Did I take my medication before getting in bed? Did I set up Mom’s pills for the week? Do I have to call in a prescription tomorrow? Why did I leave the light on in the bathroom? Where did I place my cell phone? Did I remove Mom’s hearing aids from her ears? Did I remember to take Mom’s glasses off her face when she went to sleep? Did I remove Mom’s shoes from beside her pillow and put them on the floor? Where did I put my prayer book? Why is the neighbor’s dog barking? Is someone prowling in my yard? Did I shut the gate to the backyard? Where did I put my prayer beads? Where is my journal? Where is my pen? Did I remember to turn the light out in Mom’s bedroom? Is the front porch light still on? Did I plug the alarm clock into the outlet? Does my cell phone need charging? |
