I couldn't get back to sleep, and my heart was heavy within. A hundred thousand thoughts pulsating through my mind, giving me no peace. Burying my head in the pillow, stroking Richie who was at the foot of my bed (as usual), I even started pacing up and down in my room from the sheer agony of it. Worse still that tears refused to fall even though I longed for them. It wasn't any particular thought bothering me, though I could easily point out a few, but it was a nagging sort of uneasiness... oh for the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind... Indeed.

Well now. It's a brand new day all over again. Forward march, young lady...
