fix, fix, fix
i'm sure that those around me are a bit sick of hearing about it (sorry dave!)...but this sleep thing is really bothering me. meaning that i sleep WAY too much. that i have to set my alarm to get up at noon (noon!), and still press snooze for about 2 hours. i wake up each time and say out loud 'get up!'...but before i can consciously think about doing so, i'm asleep again. it's almost warranting a doctor's appointment, but it's sort of hit and miss with him. a few years ago, i was talking to to my mom about how i had recently been in and his hair was dyed from grey to brown, and he was...oh my god...happy! he even smiled, and remembered my name for the first time. which was quite amazing as, at that time, i had been going to him for over 10 years. i couldn't grasp it until my mom mentioned that she had seen his profile on lavalife (my mother being an avid online dater-does NOT run in the family by the way), so the natural assumption was that he and his wife had split, and he was getting laid. now, i suppose, either he's gotten back with his wife, or is running out of luck in the loving department. his hair is grey once again, and he gets easily annoyed when whatever remedy he gives me does not cure. almost as if he blames me for being sick when i am so. so, needless to say, i want to avoid that one. but seriously, this sleep thing...really, who needs 12 hours a night to feel functional? and still be tired upon wakening? started taking vitamins thinking maybe that was it...even eating on a regular basis. and good meals! but alas, not working. my sleep patterns are off of course, working overnights, days, evenings...i think i'm just going to sum it up to what my vet likes to call the 'stray mentality': just as one of my kitties who was a stray eats his food like it's going to be his last meal in days and keeps a double coat of fur thinking he's going to be on the streets again (despite it being over a year of faithful love and care), i think i sleep for fear that i wont get a decent amount of sleep the next time i try. plus, i use to be one of those people that took hours (at least 2) to get to sleep at night, and i am no longer so. but the mentality may still be there. or could just be that i always - as in every single night - have crazily adventurous dreams that i remember, and want to hit snooze to find out the outcomes of whatever plot. is it that my dreamlife is more exciting than my real one? wow..there's a depressing thought. scratch that. hmmm...my apologies, fully aware of how boring this is...
fun stuff? hmmm...got tickets to city and colour...looking SO forward to it! otherwise, things have been pretty slow...which is kind of nice and simple. heading to florida next week...it's going to take me 11 freaking hours to get there-by plane! wtf? hopefully the detroit airport is a fun place as i get to spend 4 hours there...they better have slides and merry-go-rounds. maybe some clowns.
better head to bed...have to work an overnight tonight. mono anyone?
