night wanderings
So last night was interesting. I decided to take a little stroll in the dead of night while sound asleep. That hasn’t occurred in quite some time. It used to be a regular happening in my life; then it slowed and stopped altogether, so it caught me completely off guard.
I got up, walked to the bathroom, then went the kitchen, pulled down the basket that holds all my pills and set it on the table, opened the refrigerator, chugged soda straight from the 2 liter bottle, walked to the back door, unlocked the bolt lock and pulled the door open. Only not so much. Thank Isis. There is also a chain lock on my back door that I did not remove. My husband taught me years ago that when you use a chain lock on a door you don’t slide the chain all the way to end. You leave it half way so it causes greater force against someone pushing their way in. I found out that theory works in fact not just in theory, last night. As I pulled the door open it jerked against the chain lock and bounced back into the door jam. The force and sound of it woke me up. I was confused and very disoriented, and it took a moment or two for me to figure out where I was and what was happening. Then I closed and locked the door and turned on the kitchen light. That’s when I saw my basket of pills on the table. The 2 liter bottle of soda sitting there next to them with the lid off. I kinda just stood there thinking ’huh’; this is interesting. I wonder if I just took any of those pills. I had no idea. I just screwed the lid on the soda, putting it back in the ’frig and put the basket of pills up on the shelf where they belong. I walked through the house (awake this time) to see if there was any other clues to what (or where or why) I was doing. The light was on in the bathroom, which was how I knew I had been there.
I have no idea why it happened. I don’t remember what I was dreaming, which is usually what sets me off on a “night wandering”.
Which leaves with a big ole nothing. But at least I didn’t make it outside. Cause I sleep in my birthday suit. lol
