Can't Sleep

Good morning to those who are like me and can't sleep. Here it is 2:53 a.m. and despite having swallowed a sleeping pill at approximately midnight, I am still awake. There are times when it works, and then there are those nights when I am up until the sun peeks it shine through my mini-blinds. That's when I get pissed. I woke up this morning about 8:30, and drove to Foley, Alabama with two other friends. We went shopping at the outlet mall. I purchased a couple of shirts from Brooks Brothers; a robe, shower curtain, bath mat, and three shirts from the Ralph Lauren store. And the most expensive item on the list today was the $800.00 Bose system I purchased for my bedroom. It sounds nice, but the little voice inside of me keeps asking me why am I on this shopping splurge for myself. I hadn't figured out the answer to that question. I don't know if I am trying to fill a void. And if I am, what void is it that I am trying to fill. I guess I will ask my counselor that when I see her this week.

I have decided to apply for the deputy chief of trials position that is available now. There are at least eight other people who have expressed their interest, and I must admit, all are qualified for the position. If I make it to the finals, I will be happy. That will mean I am one step further to possible achievement. If I am selected, I have a few things on my agenda already. At the top is docket control and docket movement. Along with that, properly training prosecutors to effectively argue the law in favor of the State, therefore, making better attorney's in the office. Hopefully adding continuity under the current administration. Those are just a few things I have been thinking about. I am about to watch the Cosby Show since it is on until I dose off. Goodnight.....
