narc

narcolepsy: a condition characterized by frequent and uncontrollable periods of deep sleep.

I think I've been having narcoleptic episodes lately. Maybe I'm just not getting enough sleep. Tuesday I came home, made dinner, ate dinner, and then popped in a video at 7pm with a plan to knit for 30 min and then call my friend back and then maybe do some household chores. I woke up after midnight, knitting all askew, video long over wondering what happened to my evening. This isn't the first time. I've been meaning to blog about all sorts of things, but I've been so, so busy in the last week! Yay for my full social life and many splendiferous activities, but boo for the not getting my blog on.

I'm trying to think about what exciting adventures I have had in the last week...the highlight was clearly Saturday night. The Pre-Birthday SuperFantastico Friend Night Out Night. We saw Hell Boy II, we dined on super yummy sushi, and had lots of fun and lots of laughing. There was an attempt to go to a party afterwards, but things didn't pan out for me there. I was the ride for one friend and took him home between sushi and party and when I arrived at the approximate party location and I was waiting for further directions I realized that I was feeling full--not full of food, but life-full, happy, satisfied, content. I didn't need more. And so I chose to go home, snuggle up in my bed and go to sleep before 12:30.

I spent Sunday in home-retreat mode...I didn't change out of my PoohBear nightgown all day, I didn't leave the house all day. I read the paper, I drank coffee, I watched a Bollywood movie (Munna Bhai MBBS), I took a nap, I meditated, I knit and knit and knit, I washed dishes, I cooked, I cleaned out some weird old stuff from the fridge, I watched The Princess Bride, I ate, I cleaned, and I went to bed at 10. Perhaps not exciting, but so luxurious to have a me-day.
