A Day In The Life.......

[disneydream06]

I guess I was a wee bit tired...

I came home from work this morning, got some breakfast and sat down to work emails, Journals, and watch some tv.

Well, I promptly fell asleep.
I woke up to what I thought was my alarm on my cell phone going off. I had no clue what was going out.
I searched for my phone and finally realized that it was the house phone ringing, and stupidly picked it up.
Guy wanted to talk to my dad. I said he is in a nursing home now.
Then he wanted to speak to Mrs. James Hayenga. I said she's been dead for several years now.
Oh, I'm sorry, how can I get ahold of James. I said, He's in a nursing home now.
Oh, so this would be a wrong number then? I Said, I guess you could say that.

I finished up what I was doing on the computer and headed upstairs to take Maggie out before heading to bed.
All I could think was, I messed up my bed sleep by falling asleep like that.
I took Maggie out and went to bed shortly after 11 am.
I woke up some time later and laid there not wanting to look at the alarm clock. Eventually I did, and it was about 5:15 pm.
So I got about 6 hours of sleep. :o :o :o
That's like a miracle because I am use to getting only 3-4 hours a day.

only 3-4? Wow!

[disneydream06]

Yep.
Apparently it's a cycle that is not going to break easily. :o
And even after sleeping that well yesterday, I ended up sleeping most of the night away, which means not good sleep today when I lay down. UGH...

Maybe you need to invest in a call blocking phone?

We haven't regretted doing so.

[disneydream06]

The phone upstairs has a voice response thingy so it tells us who's calling. Normally I just listen to see what it says and then ignore it unless I know who it is.
Unfortunately I was so lost when I woke up that I just naturally grabbed for the phone, once I realized it was the phone. lol...

I don't know how you can get by on 3 to 4 hours of sleep a day, my goodness.

Happy you got the 6 hours in though.

Hugs, Helen

By yesterday I was about back to normal. Blah...
And today I have to be up early because I am going to St. Paul to see a show. :)

[kaishin108]

Well how fun, a show! I hope you enjoy it :)

[disneydream06]

The show was great.
So worth losing sleep over.
Of course I came home and promptly fell asleep for most of the night. Ugh.......

[kaishin108]

Happy to hear it was a great show! :)

[disneydream06]

The last couple of shows that we have seen are really making up for the first one that was so bad. :o

[kaishin108]

How wonderful!! I mean, I am sure they are not cheap, so it's a relief they are good shows :)

[disneydream06]

Tis true. :o

Saturday night I went over to the school and saw the Middle School's performance of the non musical The Wizard of Oz.
Let's just say, it was a Middle School performance. LOL........

[kaishin108]

Oh dear...

[disneydream06]

And the student playing the Scarecrow was sick, so they had another student playing him on script. :o

[kaishin108]

On Script? That means he was reading it? While on stage?
That sounds pretty desperate :-D

[disneydream06]

That's right. :)
It was actually a she. lol...
She didn't do too bad. Couple of times it took a beat to find her place in the script.

[fairy69]

your body needed it, clearly! xx

[disneydream06]

And sadly, I am going right back to "normal" patterns. :(

[fairy69]

maybe you should drink some chamomile tea before bed to help relax you to sleep. xx

[disneydream06]

I usually don't have much of a problem getting to sleep, but it's staying there once I do.
3-4 hours pass, I am awake again. :(

[fairy69]

we are exactly the same. My schedule is that I fall asleep between 11 and midnight and often my body wakes at 5 and it's almost sure I am up until having to physically get up. I try using relaxation techniques but then I stupidly look at my phone and it's done. My brain is on. It sucks!

[disneydream06]

We really need to have an On/Off switch on our brains. :o
