I’m having the worst time falling asleep tonight. I suspect that has a lot to do with getting totally shitfaced at 3 p.m. and then passing out at 6, only to wake up and lounge around, still fairly tipsy, until bedtime. <\/p>\n
I laid down at 1:30, read a bit, then turned out the light and tossed and turned through a series of dream-limbo misfires \u2014 the kind that put you in such unpleasant scenerios so that you’re sure to wake up before you actually fall asleep. The only one I can remember is a weirdly loud buzzing going on in my head that startled me awake. I woke up, flipped over, and fell into another unpleasant dream. And again and again. Until mild desperation set in. <\/p>\n
And as soon as I was actually slipping into some real sleep, I heard a door slam and some shouting out in the parking lot. And, because my Grandmaw taught me well and I am a nosy creature, I slid open my window to listen to the commotion. And lo there was profane name-calling. And the woman getting into the car said something about “That’s why I won’t be up on you again and you can’t even pay your rent!” And there were strings of epithets that would make sailors swoon. And there were car doors slammed. <\/p>\n
And when the car rumbled its way out of the lot \u2014 I actually half expected it to go tearing out \u2014 I tried to get back to sleep, only to slip once more into uncomfortable near-dreams, and be awakened once more by the slamming of a car door, at which point I realized that crazy car lady had returned to the no-rent-paying gentlemen with whom she’d just had a tiff, and they proceeded to hash out their problems in the parking lot \u2014 again<\/i> \u2014 at an elevated volume. At which point my downstairs neighbor (who will be getting a cake from me for this) ventured outside and said, “Look guys, I’m not interested in justice \u2014 I FUCKING LIVE HERE! \u2014 so could you go inside or go home or just cut it out because I FUCKING LIVE HERE!”<\/p>\n
After all that excitement, I’m finding it hard to get to sleep. Which sucks. Because I got lots of shiz to do tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
