Word at this Juncture

The word at this juncture is: insomnolent.

Insomnolent means to be sleepless, which I am.

I’m not sure why, but I can’t sleep. Periodically I have these nights and the next day I often don’t feel much different than if I’d slept a full night. I slept about 35 minutes and then woke up.

I’m not overly worried about anything that I can pinpoint. I remembered after I woke up that I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow but considering I had forgotten that it obviously wasn’t worrying me – and it’s nothing major – just a check in and some blood work. There’s nothing huge at work going on causing me great concern. Nothing is dramatically different at home. I guess it’s just one of those nights.

But, I’ve been making use of the time. The dishwasher, washing machine and dryer are all going. I think at 3:49 a.m. I’m about ready to go back upstairs and see if sleep will come.

(Note: I think the “Word at this Juncture” may be an ongoing, if irregular, series on the blog. I have a friend who does a word of the day at work. I am not making another daily committment, so I’ll just pop one up whenever something occurs to me. I do love words.).
