Pop! I'm awake!

At about 4:15 this morning, I was suddenly awake. Not the lazy, drowsy slow return to consciousness that happens when I have the luxury, or the dream with a funny noise that turns out to be Drake trying to wake me up, or the adrenaline jolt that is the alarm clock

Yup! Careful pats. ;-)

Something must be up!

I had an almost opposite thing happen to me yesterday - about noon. I was not all that busy behind the till in the shop, when a friendly regular touched me gently on the arm. I was sitting on the kick-stool, apparently staring blankly into space. I have no recollection of what I was thinking about - but I was truly "miles away". This is not something that happens to me, I am usually bright and chirpy behind that till, and quite the professional! Fortunately I was due to go home at 1.00 p.m., as I know I worked the rest of my shift on auto-pilot. Also, I feel that whatever it was, I needed to "shut it out" and, atypically, put myself to sleep with a few vodka's yesterday afternoon ..I actually felt the need to get a little drunk.

No bad effects today, I feel fine and indeed also felt fine yesterday evening (apart from my right knee - but that has been hurting for a couple of weeks now).

Maybe it is all the backlash from unpleasant things(both in the Deep South nd in my personal life) earlier this week.
