Insomnia

with one comment

The night before last night I slept really badly. I was feeling sick in the evening and felt sick in the morning. However, when I was about ready to go to work my stomach had calmed down sufficiently that I decided this shouldn’t be my first sick day of my career and went to work.

During the day, two colleagues told me I looked awful. “Hey Support Drone, you look even worse than I do,” said one. “And that’s an accomplishment.” The other remarked on my unhealthy yellowish simpsonesque appearance. D’oh.

So I went home at 5pm for a change. Early bedtime for me sounded like a good idea.

Only I couldn’t sleep until about 11pm. Wasn’t even remotely sleepy, so I played around with Inkscape (I am trying to learn). When I finally did fall asleep, I had a nightmare about space aliens impregnating Earth women and trying to colonize the planet that way. Woke up at 3am, couldn’t sleep again until 5:30. At least I got an extra hour of sleep before I had to get going.

Wonder what my co-worker will say today. So far I feel relatively relaxed. But tonight I better catch a full eight hours of sleep, or I will be downright grouchy tomorrow.
