Naptime
Sunday, June 25, 2023
I’ve slept most of the day away.
I didn’t wake up until almost 11am. That might have something to do with not falling asleep until almost 3am, but that’s neither here nor there. When I finally got up, I unclogged the vacuum so I could get all of the little silver leaf particles that were littering my living room floor from yesterday’s painting. Then I sat down and started to create. Other than not having half and half, so I didn’t get my morning coffee, I was feeling pretty good… at least, for a few hours.
Around 3:30, I decided to go sit with the boyfriend on the couch while he was playing Madden… that’s when I crashed. Next thing I knew, it was a little after 7pm and my daughter was saying goodbye because her dad was here to pick her up. I couldn’t figure out why I was so tired. Was it the lack of coffee? That seemed a little extreme for missing my cup of joe. Did I forget my Adderall? I don’t think so, I remember taking the pill out of the bottle, even though I don’t remember taking it. Was it just because I was relaxed on a beautiful Sunday afternoon? That doesn’t sound like me. I don’t nap. I don’t like naps. I always feel groggy and even more tired after one. If I nap, it’s because I’m either sick, or I forgot my Adderall… I feel fine, so I’m betting on the Adderall. Now I just need to figure out where I left the pill. Oops.
I was concerned that my nap would cause me to be wide awake at bedtime. The boyfriend ensured that wouldn’t happen. He put on a movie, a French movie so that I would actually watch it with him. He chose “Le Cercle Rouge” (The Red Circle). About an hour and half in (which is about the limit my ADHD has on any movie), I grabbed my phone and looked the movie up. I did this for several reasons…
I knew I knew the lead actor from somewhere, and it was bothering me. He was in another French movie I’ve seen “Le Samouraï” (The Samurai), also boring, although, I will say that he was a very attractive man back in the day.
I wanted to spoil the ending. I’m one of those that will read the ending of the book first, more often than not, especially if I’m getting bored.
I had to know how long this never-ending movie was… TWO AND HALF HOURS. Are you freaking kidding me?!
I was barely managing to sit through this extremely boring movie, and now I find out that I have another hour to go! I debated on just falling asleep again, but just decided to let him know that I’ve hit my limit. The boyfriend claims he didn’t realize it was that long. I call B.S.
Time to go back to sleep.
