A little wired
Monday, September 1st, 2003 12:51 amAm in that weird dozy-but-hyper state you get into when you're woken in the night and get up because you can't get back to sleep again.
I went to bed at eleven, unusually early for me, because I was whacked as a result of flu, and a little weird as a result of meditation (yes folks, I did the tonglen thing!). Then around twelve I heard some voices in the corridor, which had me wide awake in adrenalin-pumping ready-to-fight mode (one of my exes said she always felt safe sleeping next to me, as the slightest noise would have me half way out of bed before I woke up - my flatmate felt slightly less safe after I nearly brained him with a shakuhachi after mistaking the sound of his defrosting the fridge to breaking glass).
So now I'm winding down and drinking decaffeinated coffee, and waiting before I can have another tylol-hot without it weirding me out (more than one tylol-hot in a two-hour period is kind of trippy). The annoying thing is that I need to get up at 6.30 if I'm to get down to my wife's school to pick up the form she needs to get a sick note.
