Thanks again to inkpaperpen for another Write on Wednesday…
via fb” “I’m not really sure if I slept at all last night or if I just dreamed of not sleeping… either way there is not enough coffee in the world to wake me up”
I am a notoriously bad sleeper. I am known to be awake at 3 am twiddling my thumbs and wondering why I didn’t just break down and take a sleeping pill say, 6 hours ago. But then oh… that would have required forethought and I don’t do that. Plus there is that whole bait-n-switch thing that happened when they told me ‘no, no… you have to work at 7am not the 8:30 you were promised and just for shits ‘n giggles why don’t you come in at 6am a couple days a week.’ You know, because I am do so well on no sleep and an inability to procure coffee that doesn’t taste like they scraped it out of the bottom of the pot before I have to be shiny and happy on the phone for 8 hours. Maybe I should re-think my strategy. Maybe I should install a key to un-wind my brain or maybe I should subscribe to my brother’s method of relaxation and start subjecting myself to reality tv! That’s enough to lobotomize you or in the very least give you enough pause to (does the weighing air gesture) remember,oh wait! I have tea, and a hot bath or my friend zanax or even a really long stick to shove up my nose so I don’t have to suffer through this! yay. Go to bed snookie.
I can relate to that status update! You did capture the feeling well. I liked your closing line. Yes, go to bed, snookie!
Thanks for playing along again in this week’s WoW. Hope you enjoyed it.
Yes, you definitely captured the rush of thoughts that can race through one’s head when the pressure is on to sleep and be alert the next day. :) Nice.
Visiting from WoW. Oh I relate to the thoughts that run through our heads in the middle of the night. The added anxiety of having to function at some level the next day. Ouch. A formula for a tortured night. I think you capture that all well.
