I'm so tired
I'm not sure why I'm not sleeping. I don't think I'm depressed. Normally I can sleep 12 hours and feel great. What's going on?
Last night I decided I would crawl into bed an hour earlier than normal. Forty five minutes later I decide to turn off the TV and go to sleep. I was just about to doze off when the phone rang.
I hear the following message..."Hi Earthdog, it's Mom". "I hope you are not in bed yet". pause "I guess you are asleep". "I'll call you tomorrow".
Now my first reaction is should I jump up and answer it. Then I thought, no, if it were important she would have said, CALL ME!! So I slowly drifted off ... back to sleep.
The next time I looked at the clock it was 1:45. This time I hear...MEEEOOOOOWWWW, MEEOOOOOWWWWW. The cat is just walking around the house crying. I holler, HUSH UP!!
That wakes up the dog and he comes in to see what's going on. I tell him to go back to bed. He lays down at the side of my bed and proceeds to take a bath! Now if you don't have a dog you can't fully appreciate how loud they lick! I have to tell him STOP IT. He gets up and goes in the other room.
Finally, quiet....I go back to sleep only to be awoken by the sound of the answering machine cutting off and coming back on and beeping. This means that the electricity went out and came back on. When this happens, I know that my digital alarm clock resets itself. So I roll over to see the clock because if it's blinking I will not hear the alarm until noon!! It showed to be all right. The time was 3:30.
Back on my side I curl up to FINALLY get some sleep when the next thing I hear is the alarm. It's 4:30 and time for me to get up!! UGGHHH Maybe tonight I'll be able to get some rest.
