Sleep deprivation, packing and grumpiness

For the last week, I have not been able to sleep properly. I wake up all night long, tossing and turning and trying to get comfortable - but to no avail. Sleep eludes me. I figure that eventually - I will be overcome with it and suffer an involuntary fit of narcolepsy (likely in the middle of driving or running on the treadmill - just to keep things interesting)

Good news - I am packed. I think. I'm so sleepy that I may have ended up only packing cocktail dresses and running shoes. But the suitcase is zipped up. As long as I don't forget my makeup - I'll survive somehow.

I'm also kind of grumpy and have been unintentionally shooting stink eye at inanimate objects and sweet little old ladies. This must be a combination of being tired, missing Spartan and cramps that are so horrible it feels like I'm being torn in half.

I also spend the last 30 minutes cleaning up an explosion of tiny red sparkly stars that one of Kat's kittens discovered, and decided to sprinkle about the living room while I made them all breakfast. Everything in the house was covered in them. COVERED. Nice.

I'm going to go hide under the bed.

Wait...did you say Kat?

There was a Kat sighting? Where?

No b.e. earl, she meant Kit Kat (choccy bar) sighting.

She is terribly sleep deprived and prone to tiny random typos, you know. Poor lamb.

Big kisses and enjoy your hols, Elizabeth. I can identify with being sleep deprived, it's horrendous.

earl - yeah... I know. Trying to convince her to come back and all...

hullaballoo - so wish I had a choccy bar right now.

Glad to see you back around!!

Having stumbled over this blog (ouch, my shin!!) halfway through your intriguing life, do you mind if I ask the situation with you and Spartan?

stace - Short version: I met him through my best friend out west (we used to be room mates). I was out for her wedding last summer and he (in all his fabulousness) lived right next door. We met - fell instantly head over heels in love and that - is how we became... a "we". Luckily his job takes him out this way (east) fairly often and I am able to go out there...so we manage to get in plenty of canoodling... but I miss him like crazy when we are apart. He's an angel and I am the luckiest girl in the world to have found him!

(awwww) and now... only a couple of days till canoodling can commence... YAY!

ah, i remember the days when WE used to canoodle.. what happened to us?

elizabeth said...

Well Slyde - there's no room for me in the room with your ego. Your sheer awesomness, you know.

We worship you a bit. Mostly cuz of the startrek vid on youtube. That's where is began...
