Sleepless night

What to do when you can't sleep? Sleepless nights are, for the most part, pretty much over now. Tonight is a rare one. After tossing and turning for a couple of hours, I got up and made a glass of spearmint tea. Sitting on floor pillows just because I can. Floor pillows and beanbag chairs are scattered in the living room, I love the mood that they add to a fairly traditional decor. To keep them from being too casual I've covered the beanbags with throws fitted on them. Keeps them more comfortable and does dress up the room.
I enjoy the late night quiet when I'm up, it was something that I anticipated so much when the children were growing up. A little peace with my thoughts to keep me company as I would unwind for a bit before calling it a night. No demands, no responsibility, no noise. I appreciated it a lot more then, but I still think of it as a special time.
Still adjusting to city life, the noise never really goes away, it plays as it's own soundtrack. I keep music or a white noise machine playing during the day. Too much traffic noise, and we live between 2 hospitals. Add sirens and helicopters to the cars and trucks, and it gets to be a bit loud. Someday I'll probably get to the point where I no longer notice it.
Really should be asleep, I want to be enjoying the morning before the sun rises over the house. I miss being able to enjoy sunlight, just to feel it on me as I dig in the dirt. I've planted a lot of seeds to replace the plants that the heat killed off. Need to get more catnip seeds to plant for the cat, she looks in "her planter" everyday to see if there is any to munch on. I've planted 3 pots of spearmint, and a lot of petunias and cosmos. Most of the rescue mission is dead, I need to pull up the dead plants and reseed it also. It looks pathetic in places and it reminds me of my daughter teasing me. She always called my houseplants " death row ". For good reason, I had a brown thumb for a long time. With cooler temperatures these new seeds should do fine.
