First Night

I can't sleep.  I just looked at myself in the bathroom mirror.  My eyes are bloodshot and I look terrible.  Good thing I don't have work tomorrow.  Otherwise I would have to call off.

So Mama said I was meant to stay in our hometown.  I don't want to admit that she's right, but there is too much noise here.

Let me tell you all the things that are annoying me right now.

1. Traffic
2. Pedestrians
3. The furnace
4. Owls
5. The beating of my heart
6. The clock in the kitchen
7. Raccoons
