an open letter to the sleep monster

dear sleep monster,

where the frick are you?

i haven't seen you in a whole week! this is unacceptable.

please don't pretend like you dropped in unannounced when i wasn't paying attention -- a piddly couple of hours of sleep here and there, peppered with some nightmares and night sweats, don't cut it, i'm afraid.

i really need you to swing by, like, immediately. tonight would be great. tomorrow night would be even better.

because life is a bit of a drag, literally, when you and i are apart for too long.

so... see you later?

please?

hugs,
vickie

p.s. btw, if you wouldn't mind heading over to eric when we're done, that'd be swell. kthanxbai.
