Silence woke me up
As ridiculous as this sounds, it's true.
I was asleep, and quite happy to be so. I have that whole "one nostril stuffed up" thing going on so I roll over it takes a while to be able to breathe- you know the drill. So when I was asleep it was wonderful.
And then I woke up. Why? Because the power went out. I am a huge fan of white noise while sleeping. I have both a fan going and a white noise machine that makes rain sounds. I need this noise to lull me to sleep. When the power went off and the room was plunged into silence- THIS woke me up.
I know Im not normal, I fully acknowledge this. But it still sucks. So here it is, after midnight, I have a snotty nose and a crying headache (I got some crappy news earlier, I have some stress over kitty health, and I think I may be somewhat hormonal too). You know those headaches? After a good cry one would expect a feeling of relief. I just get exhausted and headache-y. And now Im awake. And I have to be up in less than 5 hours.
So I thought Id get up, write a quick entry, and try and desnottify my nose. I hope it works.
And lets hope the power doesnt go out again. It apparently was out at some point this afternoon (ok so it was at 2:07 but dont ask me how I know this because Ill deny it!). I already had to reset clocks and alarms then. Now I just had to do it again. Im over that.
Oh and I guess my smoke detector needs a new battery because it was chirping while I was sans power. I owe my cats bigtime for that one.
I think I have a bunch of batteries, but I dont want to look now. When I lived in Vermont my landlord was a total dickhead (and that's being kind). I had to buy all of my own smoke detector batteries there, so when I moved out I took em all with me. Im pretty sure they are in that box of random crap that I dont know where else to put, but Im not up for dealing with that now.
Remind me though, k? Thanks!
Off to attempt sleep again, wish me luck!!
