It's 11:25 pm. Me: "I have to get up at 5:30. I should go to bed."
** Goes to bed **
My brain:
"It's hot in here. I wonder what the thermostat is set on. Maybe I should go check. No - I need to go to sleep."
"My feet are cold. Should I get socks?"
"Did I close the garage door? I think I closed the garage door. Maybe I'll go check. I'll check the garage door and the thermostat at the same time."
** Gets out of bed, goes downstairs, checks thermostat and garage door, both of which are fine. Gets back in bed. **
"Damn. I forgot to get socks. I should get socks."
** 5 minutes passes **
"My feet are still cold. I should have gotten socks. I don't feel like getting up again."
** 5 minutes passes. Gets up and gets socks. **
"Did I take my medicine? I think I did. Crap - was the final payment due today? No - I'm pretty sure it's Monday. What was that noise? Where is the dog? It's probably Chase on his electronics. I should go see."
** Gets out of bed and checks on son, who is soundly asleep. Checks on dog, who is also soundly asleep. **
"Now my feet are hot. Does Karlin have practice tomorrow? Oh wait - that's Chase. Who's driving? Is it my turn to drive? I haven't driven in awhile. It's probably my turn. Crap. I forgot to go buy Puerto Rico donation supplies. First aid kits, work gloves, wipes. I wonder if Amazon Prime can get them here tomorrow? "
** Picks up phone to check Amazon. Determines supplies can't get there in time. Checks Fantasy Football match-up while phone is out. **
"OK. I can't sleep. I should count something. Breaths? Sheep? Maybe I should try sleeping somewhere else. It IS really hot in here."
** Goes downstairs and gets in recliner. **
"OK - it's cooler down here. And I can rock, so that's good."
** Rocks in recliner for 25 minutes. Doesn't work. **
"Shit. This isn't working. I may as well go do something productive."
** Spends 30 minutes cleaning off desk. Goes back to bed. **
"It's now 2:37 am. I have to get up in less than 3 hours. This is going to SUCK."
** Takes 1/2 of a Tylenol PM. Falls asleep. **
5:35 am: OMG THIS IS WHAT HELL FEELS LIKE.
