Missing: My Creativity

Okay let's try this again. On my cellphone last night I was able to log into Orato no problem and was even able to enter my post. Writing a rather lengthy post from keypads on a mobile phone, now that's "fun"! But when I clicked on "submit" it wouldn't go through(thanks Virgin Mobile!) so I'm now at the internet cafe(I really need to buy a computer...how many times have I said that?)and retyping the whole thing over again so here we go:

When I used to work mornings, afternoons and late evenings I'd go to the local coffee shop and read every newspaper in town there was(no exaggeration!), from cover-to-cover. It didn't matter whether it was before work, after work or in the middle of the night. Made no difference if I was up all night or woke up from a sleep something always came to mind to write or comment on whether it was something I read or heard or saw.

But that's changed. You see since I've been working the midnight shift the last few months I go to a coffee shop, and the same thing at home, I just can't get to reading the whole paper as in the past. Yes because I'm tired. But on the rare days that I'm not tired and am fully awake I no longer read the whole newspaper. I just skim through it. I just can't get into reading...anything.That's bad for me because that's when I'm the most creative(or used to be).

I know the creativity is in me somewhere. It just hasn't resurfaced.
