schooled in your sleep

after our workout yesterday i was exhausted.
my internal time clock has been, well, lazy for the past ... 6 years.
i haven't seen a morning that early in a long time.

probably since i was little running up and down the huge hill we lived on at 86 heather lane wilton connecticut all day long.

so what i went to sleep, i went to sleep.
i was like, a dead person, who was killed again.

anyone who knows me knows that i am usually a ridiculously light sleeper,
a creek will wake me up.
in fact, since brandon has left for afghanistan i've gotten into this awful habit of waking up 3-4 or 6 times a night to wander around and make sure i'm safe and okay.

it's a bad habit, i don't recommend doing it to yourself or anyone you love.

once brandon came home i still couldnt sleep well (off and on)
but last night,
was bliss.
until this morning when on the way to the gym brandon yelled
"IM AT THE RICKS, IM AT THE RICKS" and then looked over at me with a goofy grin.

"what is wrong with you?"
i asked

his mouth dropped open a little and he stared at me like "really?"

and then preceded to tell me about last night
which apparently i don't remember.
at all.

at about two in the morning
brandon woke up to me yelling
IM AT THE RICKS (a building on byui campus) IM AT THE RICKS
so he said,
jacqueline, you are in bed at home, you are asleep, come back to bed.
(he thought i was walking around in my sleep)
IM AT THE RICKS
i proclaimed
steadily

he said, jacqueline, i'm turning on the lamp
and reached over to turn on the lamp (which is on my side) and knocked everything over, a picture frame and the lamp

and then
he said

i laughed at him and said
FAIL

in my sleep.

(freakish)

he turned on the lamp once he got it upright and said i was kneeling at the end edge of our bed
and my face registered where i was
(which was, in truth, not at the ricks)

he said i sneered at him and then went to bed.

this morning when i woke up at 550
i went to turn the lamp on and thought, UGH who moved the lamp? (because i couldnt find the little knob)

yeah.

these nights are going to be fun.

it was never vitamin E supplements that was doing crazy things to me
at night

it was just
me

crazy old sleepy me.
