Under: Me being Me
Today, I opened my eyes and was in a virtual confused state!! (Maybe Karma was telling me not to call my mother crazy, as I did in my last blog, lol) I knew I was in my own bed, but I had no idea how I got there or even what day or time of day it was. I was severely discombobulated!!
I finished work at 6am Saturday morning and headed home to pick up my daughter and hit the road right away, as she had a Gymnastic competition across town in Blacktown, which is about a 50 minute drive and we needed to be there for 7am 'Warm Ups'!!
We arrived just about on time and I spent the next 5 hours watching a parade of gymnast doing some serious 'Circus' stunts on the mat. (I'm sure I dozed off a few times but I bargained with myself to stay awake and I would stay in bed the entire next day....not really believing myself, but it's how I managed to keep my eyes open)
When the competition had finished, we hopped in the car and hit the road home. I was so tired that I didn't speak!! My daughter, who sat next to me with her head phone plugged deep into her head, was deep in her own thoughts!!
We rounded the corner near home and my daughter turns to me and begs for me to pull into MacDonald. I granted her wish because I didn't have the strength to argue the "Fast Food is so bad for you" argument with her.
I pulled up to the window, hit the automatic button to put the window down, and the "Sleep Demon" possessed me!!
I couldn't even speak. My words jumbled up making me sound like a babbling baby.......goo goo gaga gaga, was all that escaped my lips. I looked at my daughter and we burst into laughter. We were both laughing so hard that I'm sure the lady in the box was getting the shits. So I tried it again.
Have any of you ever had the pleasure of being high on Morphine? Well, I have and I know my words came out like I was stoned. It's really amazing what sleep depravation will do to the mind and body. It must shut everything down to protect the vital organs.
My daughter had to lean across me and place her order as my mouth absolutely refused to work right. We proceeded to the window and the girl gave me a funny look. I'm sure she was thinking "This crazy bitch looks waaaay to old to be tripping!!" lol.
I managed to thank her in an overly bubbly response. Confirming her suspicions that I must be tripping on some kind if old lady drug.
As we pulled away from the drive thru window I looked at my daughter and we burst into laughter again.
I managed to make the two minute drive home but I couldn't tell you how I got into my house and into my bed. I opened my eyes and it was Sunday at 7am.
As I sit here and figure it out, I had 17 hours of sleep. That's fuckin amazing. I didn't think a person could sleep that long at one go.
