Two hours and thirty Eight minutes

I get home from work at 6pm. I decide to catch up on Gilmore Girls. I begin to feel sleepy. I spend two hours, going in and out of sleep. I am unable to get up. My back hurts, my brain is asleep. I let my thoughts wander off. I realize I have a school project to start and I have just a week to complete it. The thought makes me weaker.

My thoughts wander some more… I think of Beth, Dave, Derrick, John…these wise ones I read from when I want to feel good. And so I head to WordPress and do some catching up on ther blogs. I begin to feel better.

Turns out, it’s John’s birthday today. Happy birthday John Malone.

I begin to think of dinner, I’m about to make myself get up to make some. My phone rings. Goodness, one of the reasons I’m this tired is calling. A call from work. I don’t take the call. It’s not working hours. They need to learn this. I need to make them.

I have let the call upset me. I’m getting up now to find something to do, to undo this feeling.

…then I get a notification from WordPress…

Happy 12th anniversary it says.

So I decide to write this, and I feel a bit better.

Maybe if I add pasta and fish to it I will be just fine.

Celebrate with me.
