Week in the Life: Friday

[pamelonian]

Here are the rules.


Today is a sad showing, indeed.  I spent the day working in my classroom.  I only had one scheduled conference.  I got through maybe 3/4 of my to-do list. 



7:00 This is a photo of my house taken from my neighbor's while watching her dog.


Sunset in the neighborhood.


Still dog-sitting. My neighbor has to clip the curtains up so the dog doesn't pee on them.


The dog, Jack, is actually pretty cute.


My cats fight every day. I inspect them for damage. Though it sounds like they are killing each other, they both come out of it unharmed.




I didn't intend to sleep from 4:00-7:00 tonight. I had planned to attend an aikido seminar tonight. That didn't happen. There are reasons other than my narcolepsy that explain this, but I won't go into them here. OK, yes, I will. The drive is several miles north of town on gravel roads. They don't have any real plumbing. That, for me, is a deal-breaker.

My horror would be fully manifest, as well.

As Liz Lemon would say, "Deal-breaker. Shut it down."

I'm with you on the plumbing; )

I didn't know that you had narcolepsy. When did you find out? Do you have to take meds?

Both of James' siblings have narcolepsy. His Dad and his Mom's Mom are/were both narcoleptic. He has his own sleep issues, one of which is yelling out in his sleep. I wake him up when this is happening and he will sometimes tell me about the dream that made him shout. One time, he said, with a sleepy shudder,"It was awful! The entire apartment was chartreuse and aubergine!" Yes, it was an interior design nightmare!

Actually, I don't think what I have is real narcolepsy. Every day when I come home from work, I sit in my recliner, check e-mail, social networking sites, etc. Then I fall asleep. I call it the "Magic Nap Hour." Sometimes it only lasts an hour. Last night was more like three. My job is exhausting and I get up too early (5:00) for it. If I don't stop and sit down, like go to aikido or run errands, I don't fall asleep.

Hilarious! And that is an interior design nightmare, dear heavens!
