Sure It's Insomnia

I don't know what it is, but I've been staying up past 2AM every night this week. I don't know why, but I simply don't feel like "being put down" for the night. Problem comes when I get to work in the morning. Or rather, when I can't drag my sorry ass out of bed. Here's what happens:

7:00AM: NPR wakes me up with some gloom and doom story about how fucked up the world is. I wake up, pick my sorry head off the pillow, then go back to bed.

7:17AM: The 2nd shrill ass alarm goes off. I fumble around for the remote that is underneath my pillow. Snooze.

7:20AM: The 3rd alarm goes off. Reach over. Snooze.

*snooze button suffers from abuse for at least another 20 minutes*

7:50AM: Jump out of bed because I think it's 9:50 and I'm late for work.

7:52AM: Brush teeth with eyes half open. Wash face and make mistake of closing eyes while washing up. Feel...very...sleepy.

7:54AM: Ponder what clothes are still clean enough for me to wear to work today.

8:00AM: Still undressed, have no idea of what to wear.

8:01AM: Frantically looking for calendar to make sure that I don't have any meetings that start at 8:30 because I'd be screwed.

8:03AM: If I've left AIM on overnight, go to chatroom with Boston peeps and chat. Still undressed.

8:10AM: Get up to find clothes to wear. Settle for somewhat clean outfit.

8:12AM: Go back to chatroom. Ponder wearing sandals to work because I can't find a matching pair of socks.

8:15AM: Put on makeup, struggle with newly long hair.

8:17AM: Change outfit.

8:20AM: Go back to chatroom.

8:25AM: Throw belongings in Timbuk2 bag. Can't find keys.

8:30AM: Still can't find keys. Put down bag and curse loudly. Parrot joins in with cursing.

8:32AM: Find keys underneath previously worn outfit. Curse.

8:33AM: Go outside to car. Realize I've forgotten something upstairs. Curse and smile while waving at neighbor's kid who is deathly afraid of me and won't wave back, little shit.

8:35AM: Get whatever I forgot and go back to the car. Repeat two more times.

8:45AM: Finally on the road and stuck in traffic. Don't see any cute guys on the road. Curse.

That's my day. Welcome to my world.
