Thanks to Heinz-Lee for checking this for me.

Did you ever have a night where no matter what you do, you just can't fall asleep, when your legs get this horrible feeling of tiredness and your mind won't shut off.

Well, tonight I'm having that problem up here on Thunderbird 5 and I'm sure it's definitely not the coffee. The last cup I had was earlier this afternoon. I wish I was down on the island. Maybe the fireflies would have helped me to fall asleep.

I like to watch them; they are always so happy and sparkly. It makes me wonder what it would be like to be one of them.

I love to watch the little bugs as they dance their way across the night sky. Gordon ended up in the middle of a group of them, one time; they lit him up like a Christmas tree. I still laugh about it when I look at the photo I took that day.

I always leave my window and balcony doors open when I know that the little bugs are around so that they can come into my room and entertain me until I drop off.

Its nights like these that I just watch the Earth as she turns slowly, hoping that she might put me to sleep. She moves in circles, always rotating about her axes. How many things are as certain as her movement?

I always leave my room door open a bit to listen to whoever comes past. How Scott can function on only a few hours sleep, I really don't know.

Man, my legs are killing me, they're not painful, they're just way passed tired. It irritates the living daylights out of me and makes me restless.

Even thinking of Penny's sheep and trying to count them as they pass my mind's eye doesn't help. I can't seem to remember what number comes next, I'm so wiped out. I rub my eyes again and think of the fireflies back home.

If I woke up before my little friends left, I watched them as they went back to the jungle. If only I could bring those little bugs up here to dance amongst the stars, outside my window, I am sure I would drift off sooner, as the fireflies compete with the stars. It paints a pretty picture in my exhausted mind.

Time is dragging by, it's driving me bonkers.

I go to my bed and sit against the wall. I'm still struggling to fall asleep.

Finally sleep arrives. Welcoming it with open arms, I slide down the wall into the warm embrace of my comfortable bed. Closing my eyes, I can just manage to say, "Goodnight everyone. Just remember to review please?"

Opening one eye I think, "Hmmm. Did I just ask for a review?"

Shaking my head sleepily I say, "Nah, I couldn't have said that. They'll all be asleep before they can hit the review button."

Sighing I drift off to the land of dreams.

Here's just a small joke to end your day.

As a few Fireflies passed a guy he noticed that one of the Fireflies lights were off. Stopping the Fireflies, he asked the one with no lights, "Hay. Why are your lights off?"

Shaking his wings, the firefly replied, "I forgot to pay my electricity this month."

Looking at the guy with huge eyes the firefly asked innocently, "How about you? I see you are in the dark to."

When the guy wanted to reply the Fireflies were gone.
