That lasted a little longer then I expected…
Last night around 7PM I came to the realization that in the last 7 days I’d ridden over 150 miles on my bike and suddenly felt exhausted. I still had a lot of work to do so I decided a brief nap would be in order. I was expecting to sleep for an hour. I woke up at 6am today. So yeah, it lasted a little longer than I was planning. I remember responding to a few SMS messages with my phone, but otherwise nada. It’s particularly amusing because i kinda just stopped what I was doing and closed my eyes, and while I was in fact sitting on my bed at the time I wasn’t in it by any means. Hell I was fully clothed laying on top of it with a pile of work crap currounding me. In fact, here’s a short list of other things that were also on my bed within arms reach when I woke up this morning:
- Mobile phone, battery dead. (I plugged it in and it instantly told me I had 27 new SMS messages. Will check them after breakfast)
- U Lock
- iPod and headphones
- Laptop wide open with 19 blinking IM windows, everyone of the people who sent them currently being offline or away.
- A fan that I don’t remember moving from my window to my bed. Yes, a fan. Turned on.
- An open bag of Doritos, luckily not knocked over.
- Sunglasses
- A camera and related cabling to connect to the laptop.
- Bicycle gloves.
- Unopened mail
- A few scrachy notes to myself of things to remember to do before going to sleep.
Even better, I leave for Seattle in about 24 hours and now have considerably less time to finish up a ton of crap before I leave. Eeeep!

Whoa, I thought I was the only one to get myself to the point of exhaustion and fall asleep on my bed with all kinds of random junk on it.

I think your body is trying to tell you something.

Love your list of stuff on your bed. Been there with the random dose offs. Used to do it at the computer all the time. Wake up with random windows open. Good times.
