2:45 a.m. Twenty minutes since I'd woken up. This was the third time this week that I'd woken up after 2 or 3 hours of sleep. If the pattern held, I would toss and turn until it was time to get up.
-----------------------------------------
I must have yawned too often at lunch today. Angela asked if she was boring me. I had to explain that I wasn't bored, just tired since I've been suffering from insomnia.
Of course, Angela immediately asked if it had anything to do with Booth flirting with Agent Perotta. Why can't she understand that Booth and I are just partners? And friends, of course. Nothing more.
-----------------------------------------
3:15 a.m. My plan to stay up a little later in hopes of being exhausted didn't work. It's probably just stress. Admittedly, work is no more busy than usual, and my latest book went off to my editor last week, but ... maybe it's a result of the removal of the stress of trying to get the book done. That's probably it.
-----------------------------------------
Booth noticed that I was tired today. He teased me about it briefly, but then he and Agent Perotta had to leave – some sort of FBI thing.
-----------------------------------------
2:10 a.m. Earlier than usual. I'm so exhausted.
-----------------------------------------
Even when Perotta isn't around, Booth brings her up. Usually he doesn't tell me anything about his life, but now he can't stop talking about her. I'm so sick of hearing about her. We're friends, but it would be nice to have more than one topic of conversation.
-----------------------------------------
4:00 a.m. What a relief! Of course, waking up after 4 hours of sleep isn't much better than two. What if I get too exhausted to do my job?
-----------------------------------------
I fell asleep at my desk today. I was reviewing some paperwork, and the next thing I know Angela was clearing her throat in the doorway. She was very sympathetic – she asked if I was still suffering from insomnia. She didn't say anything, just raised her eyebrow. I told her she had to leave so that I could get back to work. The look she gave me!
-----------------------------------------
1:50 a.m. This is getting worse, not better. Maybe I should go to the doctor? Is there some sort of medical condition that robs you from sleep?
-----------------------------------------
Booth came by to pick up some case files today, and Angela asked him what he did last night. Apparently he and Perotta went to a hockey game. His smile lit up his face. It should be nice to see him so happy, but somehow it made me feel ... off. What is wrong with me?
-----------------------------------------
2:20 a.m. At least today is Friday. If this continues, I'll book an appointment on Monday. Something must be seriously wrong with me.
-----------------------------------------
No case this weekend, so I went shopping with Angela. I wonder what Booth was doing?
-----------------------------------------
1:45 a.m. What if Angela is right? What if I'm in love with Booth?
