In protest
I’m fighting off a nap right now. Usually on a Saturday afternoon, with the kiddo away, I would be perfectly suited to run errands in the morning, come home for lunch and then settle in for a little nap.
But not today. Not today because taking a nap now would mean I probably wouldn’t be able to go to bed early - in preparation for the FOUR AM! project tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a great day for a nap, but not today.
Besides, I have a whole list of things I’d like to do today. Instead of running errands this morning I lounged in bed until the last possible minute before I had to get up, jump in the shower and run off to my hair appointment. From there I went straight to the soccor field to watch kiddo do his thang. During the watching of the kiddo and the soccor, I drank almost an entire liter of water which meant that leaving the kiddo and the soccor was a struggle to stand up straight.
I’ve had my lunch, and now - I want my nap.
I still need to hit the grocery store and I’d like to do my taxes today, and get a pedicure. That should take up quite a bit of the day, and with any luck I can settle in for dinner and an early movie before falling easily to sleep sometime between 8 an 9 tonight. Because OH, how I do not want to be still awake at 11 or 12, knowing that in mere hours the alarm will be bitching at me to get up. Hateful alarm. Hate you!
Since it’s a work thing causing me to get up so early, I won’t go into great detail but I know it’s safer to start earlier rather than run out of time. In my opionion four in the morning is well beyond “safe” and well into “fucking insane” and in the end I know I’ll do it. But does that mean I have to love the idea? Seriously. I did what I could to avoid being out on the road, tired, driving, in the middle of the night - but in the end it didn’t work out that way. I told them if anything happened they would have to be the ones to explain it to the kiddo - which pretty much guarantees the only thing that will happen is: I will be tired. And probably cranky. But also working and getting it done, so I can go home. And NAP.
Maybe after that I can give an update or two: about this, and this, but not this yet.
