Have you ever just lost a day? I did that today. I had a list of things I needed to do…running, library, post office, bookstore. And lots of things I needed to do at home. And I did nothing. Nothing.
I have an excuse. A dumb excuse, but an excuse nonetheless. I took 2 Unisom at 3:30 this morning when sleep looked impossible and I was frustrated and not thinking clearly. Not only is that a much higher dose than I usually take (I prefer to start with a half pill, then take another half an hour later if I’m still not sleepy.) but I never should have taken that much at that late hour. Needless to say, I slept. And slept. And slept some more. It was nearly 1 o’clock this afternoon when I dragged myself out of bed. Thank goodness my husband had planned to work from home!
And not only did I sleep late, but I had a Unisom hangover. I never did get fully woken up. I fell asleep on the couch around 5pm and only got up at 6:30pm because it was dinner time. And now — at 10pm — I am wide awake. I have a million things to do tomorrow (plus I need to do what I didn’t get done today) and can’t have a repeat. I think I’ll just go take half of a Unisom and see how that works…
