There's not a lot worse...

So I woke up this morning to my alarm playing "sleepless" by Until June (I thought that would make me not so tired when I woke up). Due to the NyQuil taken roughly eight hours before I was finding it very difficult to get myself out of bed. Fortunately I didn't fall asleep again before I could force myself out of bed. I took a shower and downed some quick breakfast. I was about to check the syllabus for my first class to see what the reading was that I hadn't completed, but realized that I only barely had enough time to get to class so it wouldn't matter. I trudged through the bitter cold that is November as it sweeps through Utah valley. I took the stairs of insanity two at a time and walked briskly to the Brimhall building. Once in I ran up the stairs to the third floor. Trying to return my breathing to a normal indoor level I walked to the other side of the building where my class was.........was not. A note on the board said, "No class today. In the syllabus today is listed as a preparation for case analysis day, have a good one." Thoughts flashed through my mind...the snooze button, an actual breakfast, walking to school in the afternoon instead of the bitter morning, taking the steps one at a time with a lunch break in the middle, SLEEEEEEEEEEP!

I guess that's what I get for taking NyQuil last Wednesday too and sleeping though this class on Thursday.

Bless your NyQuil-intoxicated soul...

I hope you trudged back home and went to bed. Or at least found a comfortable study carrel.

Well, I didn't feel like walking home, so I decided to do the reading for my next class (I slept). Then I went to the weekly devotional (which I also slept through, I didn't think it possible in those chairs). Then got around to doing some more reading (slept). And went to my next class (and slept through all but 15 minutes of it). I decided to come home and not worry about the rest of the day, I needed sleep.

Awesome. How I love sleep...and should be doing so right now. Love the NyQuil. This is more info than you need, but I'm going to share it anyway. I take NyQuil when I quite nursing my babies (I'll explain later) and it always amazes me how hard it is to wake up the next morning. That stuff is awesome! It kills me to have to get out of bed...if I didn't have three kids to chase around all day, I'd be living on the NyQuil and sleep my life away. Dang, that sounds so good right now...
