I kept waking up throughout the night, thinking it was Monday and it was time to get up. I can never sleep through the night because I somehow manage to convince my unconscious self that I have overslept. I guess that should be expected when the alarm goes off at 4:40 A.M. I need to fix my alarm. It's about fifteen years old and set to the strangest station ever. I wake up to people talking about Barack Obama, baseball, or oral sex. It depends on the day.
Anyway, I have to set my alarm so loud that the entire house can hear it. It used to take an earthquake, large-scale, to wake me up. Now I can't sleep. I am plagued by thoughts of, "Is it six? Oh, God, I overslept. No, wait, it gets light at six now. It's still dark out? Hmm. Maybe it's 5:30. I overslept! I can't believe it! I have to get up! Wait. What day is it? It's Monday! If Wednesday is hump day, I wonder what Monday is. I can't believe I told Mom that I am clinically depressed on Sundays and Mondays. She's going to watch me now. Stupid! Wait. I went to Chick's yesterday! I never shop on Sundays. So today is Sunday? Thank God! Okay. Maybe I can sleep a little more. Just a little. Or should I stay up? I can rub my toes together for a while. Just a while..."
This happens again and again. Last night I left my windows open and I kept waking up because I could hear a violent wind raping my house. I shouldn't say rape. This is a family blog. No, this is a me blog. No one will read this but me.
The rest of my day will consist of planning. Planning calories. Planning homework. Planning skating. I spend so much time planning that I find myself panicking at seven at night when I haven't done anything but plan all day. If I write my plan down, will I actually do it? Okay. I'm not going to skate today. Public sessions aren't worth it. Why didn't I skate yesterday morning? I was tired, I guess. Idiot. I'll skate Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Okay. I will do off-ice. A ton. I will do my homework. I will shower. I will sleep. I will not panic.
