My holiday weekend went something like this:
Friday: After work, I went to my local country club and laughed my ass off with the staff.
Saturday: I got my hair done by my best girlfriend Tiffany and then we spent the evening together laughing and playing games like Ghetto Scrabble.
But. Yeah. Um. What Is It Like To Sleep Next To My Best Friend? And by ‘sleep’, I mean lying AWAKE all night long. Okay, so I am 33 years old and I still have ‘sleepovers’ with one of my best girlfriends. That’s not the point. The point is the girl snores. And by snores I mean she makes sounds that aren’t even human. The closest thing I can come up with to compare the racket she makes is with a grizzly bear that’s coming fresh out of hibernation. It is literally impossible to fall asleep with that noise emanating from her.
But what’s worse? When she stops making those noises. Because then I become terrified that she has stopped breathing all together. As I lay there sleep deprived from listening from the roars of her snores, I sit nervously waiting and highly concerned while hoping that she will resume making those horrifying sounds and quickly. Sometimes I even count the seconds of her silence praying that she is not dead.
It’s a loose – loose situation.
I can’t sleep when she makes those sounds, and I can’t sleep when she stops making those sounds!
Does anyone else out here in blogville have to sleep next to someone that keeps you up all night? And, if so, what do they do that irritates you?
But I digress.
Sunday: I did NOTHING. I turned off all of my phones and my computer and just laid in bed all day super lazy watching a Law & Order Marathon. I was probably still so tired from the LACK of sleep on Saturday Night.
Monday: I watched the movie Fight Club with my son while doing mountains of laundry.
And just when I was all done having fun, resting, relaxing and finishing all of my chores, it was time to come back to work.
(Sigh.)
I just never had it in me to get any real writing or real reading done. I guess I needed that kind of downtime? I am constantly on the run, forever busy, and always rushing around. It was nice to be with friends and family and even get some quiet time to sit still for a few days.
