Getting yesterday/Tuesday afternoon off turned out to be a godsend. I woke up from my evening nap Monday night at around 11:45 p.m., so I didn't get a wink of sleep through the overnight. With my body dragging, me spending the morning cutting open packages and dealing with a particularly nasty leaked bag of piss, and seeing my city still being besieged by our own federal "government," I was so looking forward to not working in the same afternoon we were all supposed to walk out. I was even assigned to data entry, but I didn't do it; instead, I worked on figuring out this new software we are supposed to know in a couple weeks.
And I didn't make much headway into that, either. No, I was into doing ... nothing. Well, I take that back; I had a lot of chores I felt I had to do. I had to:
- use my haircut coupon before it expired;
- get my photo taken for passport purposes;
- buy groceries to hunker down for this cold, cold weekend we're about to have;
- finally drag some stuff out of my storage unit
- and do something for Mother at the bank
Now, come to think of it, I was really busy, and productive. I didn't finish all of these things before 2 p.m., which was the scheduled time we were all supposed to "walk out," but around 2:30 I shut the door with no intention of opening it unit this/Wednesday morning. I took a shower and then, while fully naked, settled into my bed because my body was finally tired.
And I woke up around 8:30. Wow! Five hours of hard sleep to reset my body. Felt really, really good, even if this continues to throw my body clock out of whack. And my "slangriness" has completely left me. The anxiety over these people abducting me, however and unfortunately, remains.
