I actually made it to work today. Wanted to call in sick. Am not sick but simply wanted to lay in bed and not do anything for another two more hours. Bedroom unfortunately is too bright and too close to the street. I hear everything... and I mean EVERYTHING on the street. Had I not lived in noise polluted cities my whole life, would probably have become a zany insomniac by now. But as it is, have super duper selective listening skills to tune out garbage trucks, muni, sirens and whatever wacko conversations I hear outside my window. This morning unfortunately was very much disturbed by light and even though I threw the comforter back over my head, could not block the sunlight out at all. And then the phone rang, much to my chagrin, and I had to answer it. Old old friend from Singapore calling to say hi. I thought I could sneak another half hour of sleep when some guy had to, just had to have an argument with his girlfriend outside my window.
This was 7:00 in the morning.
Ok, alright, I'm awake.
Finished my 20 minute pilates power workout, showered, had breakfast , organized backpack and even had luxury time to put on makeup. Am sitting at work now, wishing however, that I was back in bed. The body has left the brain behind. Absolutely, completely distracted this morning and cannot at all focus. Am very irritable, and annoyed. Took all my strength not to yell at perky office manager and took a miracle to smile and say thank you instead.
Just want to be back in bed.
