Not So Much

So, did I sleep the sleep of the just last night?

(See title, above.)

I went to bed at 9.15, ready to sleep, with the tv on, as I always fall asleep. By about midnight, I had gotten up twice, eating both times. By 12.15, I was settling in, I thought, and then ... Da Da DAH!

GERD.

The gastric reflux, which was just lying in wait for me, woke me up within minutes of falling asleep. I guess that's why I hadn't fallen asleep in the first place. And now I know that I can't eat tomato sauce any more. Greeaaat.

My morning, which I expected to be very relaxed, was also not so much. I overslept a half hour; my alarm must have been ringing the whole time, but I was lying (if you could call it that, because I was practically sitting up) with my good ear on the pillow, so I didn't hear the alarm until I shifted around. Then I was discombobulated, just a bit, but not actually late. It was too cold to wear what I had taken out, I forgot to make the coffee for my thermos, and so on.

I got to work, and as I walked into the library, the SCM calls to me from across the room: "I left a note on your desk! Our Smart Board is here!" (A Smart Board is a kind of high tech blackboard that connects to the computer.) I got to my desk and there is a note -- from the SCM -- that says: "Our Smart Board is here!" I turned around and looked through the window into our classroom, and you know what? Big as life, there was a Smart Board hanging on the wall. Shit. He was going to be insane today, of all days.

He came over to my desk to start some harangue, and I said "You know what? Let me just warn you: I'm not in a good mood today." He backed off a little, but I told him that the shout out, the note, and that fact that a blind person could see that the Smart Board was there was all a little overkill. He didn't need all of that. Which he got, and didn't take offense, which was unusual for him, but, come on. Can't I ever find anything out for myself?

Did I over-react? I had to stop him before he seized control of my entire day.

No more about school. It sucks there.

So, home. I did manage a bit of a nap this afternoon, since I don't want to fade away before Heroes. I really hope I sleep tonight. I deserve it.
