Carebear and Frik went down to St. George this weekend and I've been Duke sitting. it has just been a couple of days so it's no big deal. Saturday night i was super tired so i fell right asleep on their amazing bed. I slept the whole night without a problem and still had plenty of time Sunday morning to get ready for church. By the end of church however i was super tired again and was ready for a nap.
I took one. Mistake! It was maybe an hour and a half, no longer, but it messed up my whole night. I got to bed a little after 11pm and i just couldn't fall asleep. It was bad. I would fall asleep for 20 minutes or so and then Duke would wake me up or i would have to pee or something and then it would take me forever to get back to sleep. This went on until about 12:30.
I don't like being alone at night anyway and i couldn't sleep and so i started to freak myself out. Totally dumb but i definitely did it. Then it wasn't that i couldn't sleep for whatever reason, it was because i was freaking myself out. So i was trying to figure out what to do. I couldn't call anyone because they were all asleep. I couldn't go home because i was watching Duke. The solution: Take Duke home with me.
Yup that's right i packed up at 1 am and brought Duke to my house because i freaked myself out. You'd never guess I'm 23 huh? By the time i got settled at home and Duke got over the excitement of a new place and calmed down i had about 5 hours to sleep. Not too bad if i had slept that whole time. That, however, did not happen. Duke kept waking up to every new sound and him moving around kept me awake. Then my roommate that gets up at like 4 am got up and Duke scared her to death by just walking up to her. So at that point i was only half asleep because i was trying to keep Duke from bothering her too much. She left the apartment at 6am and had about 50 minutes before my alarm went off. Then Duke had to pee. Sweet!
Unfortunately those last 40 minutes were the most restful of the entire night. I wanted to die when my alarm went off. I figure that overall i got maybe 4 hours of sleep. I changed my cloths, got my lunch ready, traumatized Duke by taking him home only to lock him in the kitchen, then headed, half asleep/dead, off to work. I've made it 34 minutes, only a lot more to go. So far I'm the only one in the office. I'm thinking i should just shut the door, turn off the lights, and crawl under my desk. Sounds like a great idea to me!
