A Little Better...

Well thankfuly my mom let me sleep a little longer so that I could get some sleep. I still don't feel the greatest, but a lot better compared to this morning.

Oh, I just remembered. About a week ago my dad ordered The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov (one of my favorite sci-fi writers) and yesterday my mom took me to the library to pick it up. So, I went in with my mom's library card, asked for the book. The following happened:

1. I had not ID so I wasn't allowed to use my own mother's card

2. Her card was expired

3. My own mother, my dad's wife, is apparently not allowed to pick up a book for him... but she is able to cancel his order (wtf!?!?)

Thus my mom proceeded to play the system. She canceled my dad's order and since no one else had a hold on it, she was able to place her own hold on it. Then she went and renewed her card, and picked it up. The checkout librarian was shocked.

It was really entertaining to watch. (^_^)

Off to drink more coffee!

Sleepless in Seattle

I don't even live in Seattle, yet I still have sleeping issues, what the hell? I've had serious sleeping issues for the last freaking week, and now I think it's gotten me sick. My cheeks are bright red and I'm feeling slightly feverish. Blech...

But seriously, you know how people sometimes complain about being tired and not getting enough rest and bullshit? And how they'll say "I didn't sleep at ALL last night," and then proceed to yawn to prove their point? Well, most likely they got some sleep, even if it was a few hours worth. That's why they feel so tired. Me on the other hand, I was 100% aware of what was going on the entire night, I could give them a long, detailed explanation of what I did over the entire course of the time, and never once did I fall asleep.


At all.


And trust me, you can tell when I haven't slept at all. I seriously look like a freaking crack addict going through withdrawl when I do. That and when my body realizes it's not going to get any sleep, it goes into hyper active mode, where I am literally pacing my room trying to get rid of the pent up energy. That only lasts for nearly an hour or two, and then I fall into auto pilot. This is basicly where if I sit down or lay down for even a minute, even after I've had a cup of coffee and a can of diet soda, I will literally go comatose for about 2-3 hours.

So next time someone you know says they stayed up all night and never slept once, take a good look at their behavior. If they're yawning a lot or their eyelids are droopy, that's probably just not enough sleep. But when someone says they haven't slept at all and they look like their gonna explode from an adrenaline overdose, tell them to go home and sleep, because it's sure as hell not healthy.
