A metaphor about life...

Jul 17, 2005 21:27

Last night, as I was trying to fall sleep, with no such success - namely because I'd had a 4 hour nap that afternoon - I found a mosquito flying about my room. I was trying to settle down, and relax, so chasing this thing around my room was out of the question. So I decided to hide under my blankets, with only my face exposed so I could watch tv and tire myself out.

This *may* have been a smart solution - if it were the middle of winter. Even with the AC on, this is a bad idea. Soon I was too hot to be comfortable. I was thinking that when the mosquito comes close to my face, I'll hear or see it and swat the bug away and kill it.

Then I had a thought. Am I going to lie here, buried under my blanket like I'm afraid the dark? Or am I gonna just say screw it all, if I get bitten I get bitten, and toss away the blankets?

I tossed the blanket.

I didn't fall alseep until after 4 or 5 am. Hardly getting any sleep. (Damn nap.)

And as far as I know... I didn't get bitten.
