My circadian clock is all sorts of screwed up with this being Winter break and all. I don’t have a job so I don’t need to be there. Kait doesn’t have school so we don’t need to get her there. I don’t have school to be worrying about so it has really messed with our heads. Last night we stayed awake until 1:40am. Not good as we near the end of the winter break runway. Someday soon we’re going to have to get back into the swing of things.
Last night, as she and I were drifting off to sleep (have I ever mentioned that she and I share a tiny guest room in my father’s house? Yes. Well, we do. Gratefully.) and she mumbled something to me that I didn’t understand. Ensuing conversation went something like this:
Kait: mumble mumble mumble mumble
Ang: What did you say? (feeling a little irritated that she wanted to have a conversation JUST as my NyQuil was kicking in.)
Kait: I said, you need to make sure you get the laundry done before I go back to school so I have something to wear. (She claims she said “we.” I heard “you.”)
Ang: EXCUSE ME?!!! (the now fully-alert part of me sat straight up in bed and shot fire out of my eyes, while sounding menacing and large. However, because the NyQuil drunk part of me was heavier, I really just laid there like a slug and slurred out the question.)
There was only a moment’s pause before she answered: Never mind. I get it.
Ang: Yeah! You had better get it, young lady! (That part was mostly in my head. I think all that she heard was… snuck… snort… snnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnore!)
