If you have known me more than a few months, you probably know how I love taking naps. Well, I wasn’t always in love with naps like this. Until about a few years ago, taking a nap only happened a few times a year. Now I take naps on weekends and on my days off out of necessity because I’m usually sleep-deprived during the week. So I take a nap whenever I get a chance so that I can function at work. I even put “nap” on my kanban board.
This past weekend, however, I did not have a chance to take a nap. I was busy Saturday doing weekend stuff like laundry and whatnots and running around different stores to find things I need, like foam for seat cushion and an enzymatic cleaner, etc. I was at work all day Sunday since it was the monthly maintenance Sunday when we do all our maintenance work on the servers and I worked longer hours than usual and hence no naps for me again. So now, yesterday and today, I’ve been having trouble. I’m tired and sleepy. My eyes keep closing and my brain is foggy. All I want to do is lie down somewhere and take a little nap.
Are you wondering if there is any point to this post yet? Cause I sure can’t remember why I started this post like this, but I KNOW I had a point… I just can’t remember. Sorry but I’m telling you I had a point. Trust me although I’m not sure if I digressed somewhere above. I’ll try to update it later if I do remember. Maybe I shouldn’t post this. But then I may never remember. So I’m going to post it anyway. Feel free to give me suggestions on what my point would be.
I guess all this anxiety over the financial troubles and lack of sleep as a result is getting to me. I woke up early so that I could get to the car dealership by 7:30 when they open the door and be the first one in to get my car serviced and hopefully not have to wait too long. I was feeling as dizzy as I was exhausted when I got up and let the dogs out in order. I still felt dizzy when I made myself comfortable in the waiting room of the dealership. I thought maybe it was the empty stomach because I felt really hungry, so I walked to the nearest diner to get breakfast. That didn’t help, and I drove back, picked up cat food, did grocery shopping, took two naps one after another just interrupted by potty breaks for the dogs. I still feel dizzy whenever I move my head around. What to do…?
I’ve been sleeping a lot for the last few days. The amount of sleep I’m able to squeeze in astonishes even me. Having dogs prevents me from sleeping 3 or 4 days and nights straight waking up just to drink water or take a leak, as I once did long time ago. But I have been able to wake up, take the dogs out, eat something, go back to bed, and repeat a couple of times. I used to have the problem of not being able to sleep at night if I took a nap during the day, even a very short one. Now I seem to have conquered that problem because I lay my well-rested self down, and I can fall asleep… well, nowadays anyway.
I hope the sleepfest is warding off the exhaustion I’ve been suffering from so that I can start the week anew all refreshed. Well, gotta go now to take a nap.
Serious Stuff. Seriously
