Step 27: Nearly Pass Out

Right now, it is the morning after "today," but I could not possibly have posted this last night, because last night, I got inexplicably drowsy almost as soon as I got home, and therefore went straight to bed.

It was so hard to stay awake, that I got as far as getting my work clothes off before I fell into bed. Heh, oops? Anyway, I remember falling into bed, flipping my electric blanket on (it's COLD here, especially in the basement) and then...nothing. Until 5 am, when I woke up to go to the bathroom (something ELSE I skipped because I was just so heavy-lidded).

When I woke up, the only thought I really had was "pee." So, I sat up, grabbed my glasses and sung my feet to the floor. At this point I noted that I had no feeling in my right leg, it was asleep (still?). Vaguely I recalled that numb legs don't traditionally support any weight at all very well, but I shoved that little factiod away in favor of "pee." I got as far as the end of my bed, before the numbed leg slipped and gave out, and THEN there was feeling in it. From the knee, specfically. Mind you, at this point I was still mostly asleep, so I thought "bad...pee." Anyway, I got up, wentto the bathroom, then climbed back in bed, checked the time (thus how I knew it was 5 am), and then was dead to the world until 10:30 this morning.

My knee is pretty much okay. It's a little sore, and might get worse once I go standing on it at work tonight, but for now it's not too bad.

SPEAKING OF WORK! I had to work yesterday. Not because I was scheduled or because I really wanted to, but because T called in. He claimed he was so sick he was on his way to the hospital, but T has a tendency to dramatise EVERYTHING, so I doubt that. He probably sneezed once due to dust and was like "I'M CALLING IN!" Or, being that he tried to get me to work for him this weekend, he just decided that he didn't want to go to work, and he didn't want to call anyone to work FOR him, so he called G and told him that he was going to the hospital, so G would call around finding someone to cover his shift. Until I have trustworthy confirmation that T was, in fact, so ill he had to seek emergency medical assistance, T is on My List.

Because now, as it was when J worked there, I will never again have a true day off, because I'll have to wonder all day whether or not I'm going to get called in because T doesn't know what DayQuil is. Once again I have to screen my calls to AVOID getting called in on days when I really just can't be there (because they know I'm susceptible to guilt trips, so if they can just get ahold of me, I'll probably go in. >:|)

On the bright side, however, it was a night with C, which is always a blast, even though we spend all evening chatting, and then get sweaty hurrying to get everything done by closing time, heh.

It was also nice to be available when C's bank account went wonky for Reasons as Yet Unknown, so I could loan her a couple dollars until she got it figured out. Overall, it was a good day. T's still on the list though.
