Obsessive compulsive worriers unite!
I think I need to start some sort of self help club for obsessive compulsive worriers like me. I've not been sleeping very well the past couple of weeks because of various random nuisance worries popping into my head, and naturally the more you try not to think about something, the more you actually end up thinking about it! It's a vicious circle and stuff ends up going around and around in my head for hours. To make matters worse everything in life seems worse at 3am in the morning, even something as insignificant as a lost sock becomes of life changing significance at 3am. You'd think art wouldn't be stressful but I find myself up in the middle of the night worrying about doing paintings. I have to sit myself down and give myself a stern talking to along the lines of :"For goodness sake Emma, it's only a bit of paper, stop worrying". It's not all frolicking through the bluebells in a smock with a paint brush in one hand I can tell you. Then just as I was about to get off to sleep again, Tesco in their infinite wisdom decided to text me at 4.20am this morning to inform me they'd taken £2 off my phone credit for unlimited internet browsing. That's just great, cheers Tesco because I really couldn't wait until 9am to find that out! If I wasn't so tired I'd complain. Hopefully by tonight I'll be sufficiently tired not to let any of these niggles bother me, here's hoping for a decent night's sleep!

Ugh. Yep I've had those kind of night . . . or weeks. Stupid Tesco. I don't think I've ever had that happen. I hope you get some rest soon.
P.S. I'm going to start reading my blog backwards so I'll read the current stuff first and know what is going on lol.
I know that feeling only too well because I have suffered the same problems with an overactive mind just recently. I have even tried putting on the world service on the radio in order to bore me into sleep, made myself a cup of tea and sat on the edge of the bed staring out of the window waiting to see how long it would be before someone went along the road so I could wonder where they were going!
