My body is striking back. I got it on a schedule, and got a few good nights of sleep, and it's still super annoyed with me, apparently.
Last night, I shot up in bed in a panic. I looked at the clock. My brain immediately saw what time it was and went, "OH MY GOSH IT'S 1:00 AM!!! MY SHIFT IS STARTING RIGHT NOW!!! I'M LATE FOR WORK!!! I'M GONNA GET A TARDY AND MESS UP MY NUMBERS!!!"
So I jumped up, uttered some whispered expletive that was probably something along the lines of "holy robo-jump rope on a potato platter, batman" and went running for the bathroom.
I got into the hallway.
I stopped.
"What time is it?"
I walked out into the front room where my roommate was reading a book and looked at the clock. I couldn't actually comprehend what the numbers were, but I could read that they were trying desperately to tell me that it was not time for work.
"Do I have to go to work now?" I asked (at least, I think I asked. I might have come out, "Mfmmwr go mr work?"
My roommate understood the question, I assume, because I'm pretty sure she answered it. I don't remember if she said, "Yeah" or "No," though. Maybe I asked something else. Hmmm...
Anyway, I cursed my stupid body and crawled back into bed, where I slept soundly.
Then I awoke with a flash of inspiration!!! You know those moments of epiphany when you're sleeping? You finally understand something you never knew before, and your whole world has shifted around you? Yes, I had that moment.
I was only awake for a second, but in that second, I knew something. One thing, one tiny piece of pure, life changing truth.
I laid there, and said to myself, "Yes. Yes, that's just what I need to do. In the morning, I am going to buy a hat rack. That is just what my roommates all need."
This war with my body has gotten intense. I definitely need some weapons and ammo upgrades.
Welcome back to the blogosphere! I've missed you. Also, your war adventures are amusing.
ReplyDeleteAnd not to be sadistic or anything, but I sort of hope your insomnia will be on my side when you, me, and Merlin get together. ;)
