A mother's intuition
It's been a terrible few days for me. I'm still adjusting to the new place --- my sleeping is pretty much non-existent and it's driving me up the wall. And it certainly didn't help last night when the tenant directly below me decided to have his television/video games blaring into the wee hours of the morning ---- 4am to be precise. I tried a few different things for distraction, but in the end the frustration got a hold and I simply could not sleep. I have been an absolute zombie these past few days. I would say I've gotten a combined total of about 7-8 hours of sleep in the last three days.
Today, MTS was over connecting TV and internet for me. I planned on calling home when the guy left....but no sooner had he stepped out the door when my phone rang and it turned out to be mum. She asked how I was and I just started bawling over the phone. And so I relayed my extreme frustration over my lack of sleep and how tempted I had been last night to walk over to where I work and sleep on the couch in the staff room. "Please don't cry! I love you and I hate hearing you like this," she says to me..."I'll stop by tomorrow and bring you some Sleepy Time Tea. That always helps me fall asleep."
I welcome the tea (who doesn't like tea!?).....but I also went out today and bought the best quality earplugs that I could find. I've only tried earplugs once before to get to sleep and I remember they worked wonders for me. So, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that tonight I will fall into sweet, sweet slumber as the world gets shut out of my hearing range.
And now....time for some supper.
