I was infinitely sleepy a few hours ago but am awake now that i’m in front of my laptop -_-
My sleep pattern is quite screwed. It’s so easy to fly West and get used to jetlag in one day or less, but flying back East always puts one in a stump up to a week! I thought i could be superfairy and get over it in a day cos i have little choice seeing the amount of work i have. But no…
I slept at midnight last night and remember thinking while falling asleep, “YES! I’ll get up at 6:30am for my meeting and cure my jetlag in one day like i hoped!”
Maybe my subconscious decided to prank me cos i suddenly awoke at 3am and couldn’t go back to sleep.
I stayed still.
Relaxed all my body parts.
Tried not to think.
But couldn’t help thinking
about work,
listing down all the things i need to get done,
ideas for work,
and it ended up at how i need to get photographs printed in case i lose all my photo files.
I mean seriously, my brain just wouldn’t SHUT UP.
So i told it to, “Shut up!”
And another part of my brain went back, “Shut up!”
Then another part of my brain popped up, “Who said there are only two parts of the brain? There are a million parts to it!”
Then i heard a hundred voices in my head going, “Shut up!” “Shut up!” “Shut up!” “Shut up!”
So. Much. Noise.
I thought since i’m so awake scolding myself with a hundred voices i might as well get up and make use of my time.
Making as little noise as possible, i crept out of the bedroom and went outside to
reply emails,
make a list of things to do so i wouldn’t forget,
cleaned out the kitchen cupboard,
shifted tinsel to a box for present-wrapping purposes,
caught myself doing it and thought, “SERIOUSLY?!”
Crept back to bed around 4:30am and tried to sleep… till it was 6:30am and figured i MIGHT as well GET UP AGAIN and have breakfast and get ready and leave the house at 7:10am like i was supposed to so i could pick products up from Tania at 7:30 and reach a meeting at 8am.
After my meeting, i had breakfast #2 with Vivy and Fadza, then headed to BSC cos Clem wants steak for dinner and i only buy my meat from there. Got wrapping paper and scotch tape for presents. Vegetables. Pain au chocolat. Someone complimented me on my car in the parking lot, which made me feel good and vow to give strangers more compliments.
Noticed three new potholes on the way home which weren’t there three weeks ago. New ones to memorize i guess!
I was gonna blog pictures from London today but i have so many other urgent deadlines and i desperately need a nap so… this is all i got for ya right now.
