Waking Up Is Hard To Do

The last two days I have not woken up well at all. Both times something messed up happened. Saturday morning I opened my eyes at about 6:30 and completely freaked out. I saw sure it was a work day and that I was at least an hour and a half late. I ran into around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to find my stuff for work. Wifey woke up two minutes into this because her husband was screaming profanity about it being late. She asked why I was so concerned about the time as it was Saturday. I then went back to bed.

This morning I had a wonderful CQ shift from 2-4am. No huge worries, I went to bed at 10ish. Aside from the 1:10am alarm being unpleasant the first couple minutes were OK, brushed my teeth and all that. I started the coffee maker so I could have some go juice to help me stay awake. Went and got my clothes on and then went back to put the coffee in my thermos. I got into the kitchen and black water with coffee grounds in it were spewing out of the top of the pot all over the place. I first grabbed a towel to try and stop the spread of this mess then realized that putting it into the sink might be the best choice. That ended up with my hands getting scalded by very hot water. Since I was screaming Wifey woke up and came out to see WTF was going on. She helped me contain the mess to deal with later and got me a bag of ice to put on the back of my hand while driving to work.

So my luck with waking up hasn't been so good the last couple of days. Hopefully tomorrow morning isn't a Fuck My Life moment.

Sounds like it has to get better soon...!

Like being snakebit by a whole basket full of snakes, huh?

I have been going around reading blogs this evening. Almost everybody has had some experience similar to yours. The stars just aren't in the right alignment at the moment, I guess.

That is the worst! To wake up thinking it's a work day...
