Rude Awakening......

I came down with some kind of bug over the weekend--sore throat, sniffles, achy all over, feel exhausted--you know the drill. Ugh. I knew it was bound to happen. It's that time of year. Not only is the temperature going back and forth--warm, cold, warm, cold--but--every time we go into any of the stores there's--people. People coughing, and sneezing everywhere. Yuck. And, the adults are usually as bad as the little kids with not covering their faces. How rude! So--there's all those little germies flying around in the air, just waiting for us to breathe them.
So--last night I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned, but was awake until around 4:30 or 5:00 this morning. Apparently, I finally fell asleep, because around 10:30 AM, I was awakened--quite suddenly--with the door bell ringing, someone pounding on the door, and the dog barking his head off! You know how you come up from the layers of sleep, thinking what the--heck? Man!
So I jumped out of bed--ran to the closet for a robe--went flying down to the door. I'm thinking that it must be a neighbor in quite and emergency, or something, right? Well--there was some lady delivering flowers. What the heck?
She says, "Amy Littleton?" I say, "No". She says, "Amy Littleton, right". I say, "No". She says, "Well, this is 24th Place, right?" I say, "No--this is 23rd ! She was "oh, so sorry." Argh.
Well, the damage was done. There was no going back to bed. At this point the dog was doing his pee pee dance, as well as his poo poo prance. He wanted out NOW. I let him out in self-defense. After all--I'd have to clean it up if I didn't. Sigh.
So, now I'm exhausted, feel yucky, and don't feel like doing anything productive. Oh, well. Such is life. What can I do? I guess I could go take a nap. It's getting kind of late for that, though. Maybe just a little one, though........
