This morning I had serious doubts about my ability to take care of myself. I burned my breakfast. I couldn’t find socks that match. I checked the weather online and it said: rain with a chance of snow but apparently I didn’t bother to look out my window. Because if I had, I would have seen that it was actually snowing already and maybe then I would have put on pants rather than wearing a corduroy skirt. I don’t have my winter hat right now because I left it at my favorite coffee shop two and half weeks ago during snow storm. Don’t ask me how I made it out of the coffee shop without it–considering it was snowing two and a half weeks ago as well.
Of course, the reasonable thing would be to blame jet lag. But I think that when you’re suffering from jet lag you’re much, much less likely to be a reasonable person. I read once that it takes two days to recover for every time zone. I just did the math. Impossibly the math suggests that I’ve got 20 days of recovery ahead of me. This seems much too long to me. I am giving myself three more days. That makes for five days total. It’s going to be mind over matter. Five days–nine plus hours of sleep a day. That will have to do it as I am unwilling to commit more than that to recovering from jet lag.
So in order to get my requisite nine-plus hours of sleep and to read my kindle for a little bit before I fall asleep, I’ve got to sign off now. Good night.
Oh and for anyone not living in Sofia. The rain with a chance of snow turned into 5 or more inches of snow. No rain in sight.
And the water’s out in Mladost near the Billa. Great. It’s not like I needed to wash my dishes tonight or anything.
You need to play hookie and spend tons of energy ‘somehow’ then a 9hr sleep would set you free 🙂
