Stupid Brain

So I'm lying awake in bed last night, trying trying desperately to fall asleep. It's not going well. Taking far too long, and I'm committed to early morning activity. At some point, I finally do fall asleep. However, I don't even know it, because I'M DREAMING ABOUT LYING AWAKE, UNABLE TO FALL ASLEEP! After lying awake there for hours, it must be past 5, my cell phone rings, and I fly out of bed, because I know that it's work, and all sorts of somebody else's headaches are about to get dropped in my lap. Of course they are, it's the last Monday before Christmas and this is (major logistics corporation with subliminal arrow) that we're talking about here. So I'm running down the hallway, and the stairs, trying to put some clothes on, because I probably need to be there a half hour ago if I want to get my day finished in time to come home tonight yet, and my cell is yammering away in its stupid little electronic Bach partita. I hit the light switch and wake up our house guests, one of whom sits bolt upright in the sleeper sofa. I think "crap, that's uncool Stef, be more sensitive to your guests needs..." and then I think, "who's staying with us this weekend? I don't remember having any guests." That's when the little voice inside my head tells me that I'm inside my dream. At this point, I said something out loud to myself, along the lines of "well isn't that just great you stupid moron, you've been asleep the whole time and didn't even know it, ya moron." And then I wake up.

So now I'm lying there awake, in the middle of the night, trying to fall asleep. Again.

Stupid brain, using my unconscious thoughts against me. It's just not really fair. No wonder I'm compleatly nutters.
