I am so screwed...
So here's the set-up...
Got Older Son home for the weekend and he was settling in with television and Nintendo DS since he's missed them both dreadfully this week. The air conditioner is OUT on my car (OMG!! *faints*) so I was hot and miserable and just wanted to lay down on the bed for a while and let the air conditioner in the house make me feel all better. This was at about 4:00 pm.
Silly, trashy, mindless romance novel in hand, I plopped down on my bed to relax for a bit and cool off. The next thing I knew, my cell phone was ringing and it was 8:00 pm.
Rule #1 for chronic insomniacs who refuse meds: DO NOT NAP!
My body is accustomed to 4-6 hours of sleep a night, and I got nearly four hours sleep with my "nap". This means that my body thinks I've already had my allotted sleep for the day. It's now a little after midnight and I am AWAKE. Wide awake. Not even yawning. Mind going in 10 directions at once. *sigh* So, so screwed.
