WTF, says I
Whew, am I disoriented.
My alarm clock went off at 5:30 to wake me from a nap, which apparently I was deeply lost in because it woke me from actual sleep. I got up, for some reason thought I needed to start getting ready for work, and realized in a moment of stunned confusion it was Monday and work was over. I crawled back into bed, still half-asleep and dream-dazed, and then my phone woke me up at six and again baffled me. I had a mildly incoherent conversation with my dad, hung up, and went back to sleep, and now am officially awake because hunger is snarling loudly in my stomach.
Maybe if I go grocery shopping now like I need to, being out and about will wake me up... but damn if I don't feel tempted to just curl back up to sleep. I won't because this would mess up my sleep schedule and prevent me from being productive, but I don't think I will be very productive anyway at this point because my brain is so tired. I would like to wake up so I can work on DP stuff, but if not, I guess I just lose. :P
The reason this is all so confusing is because I am usually not HOME at 5:30... I had the glory of going home early because of intense thunderstorms at work. Hail Taranis. :) After well over an hour of having no power, my supervisor finally set us free at 3:30, which led to an ultra-long harrowing drive because all of the stoplights were out. A lot of poles were down and such... Delaware really got nailed. Was it bad here? I wanted to warn of its approach but we did not have power.
You know, it felt so late when I crawled into bed at 4:30. With thunder snarling and the sky stained orange, it seemed like night was already descending. It felt early, too, as I was giddy with excitement to be home in the afternoon rather than evening... but it was timeless. I don't know how to explain it. I am now blinking in the humid sunlight streaming unexpectedly through my window, disoriented by the sudden presence of light when I expected to wake up in darkness. Of course life moved on without me. Of course the sun came back to remind me that night won't come for hours yet. It is providing a sense of normalcy and here-and-now-ness that is slowly bringing me back from the otherworldliness of before, but I still remember runes in my dreams, and thunder, and grey and crimson and black.
Yes, I will definitely clean my contacts, throw on some clothes, and head out to the store... here's hoping I can find some more energy and work on DP stuff when I get back.
I never used to indulge in sleep, nor did I used to need to... snarl. I hope I sleep deeply and strongly tonight rather than have trouble sleeping, because if I do it will mean I really needed the sleep and taking it was a wise decision. If not, well, too bad. New day, new mischief.
Congratulations, Kat.
