It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do for the body and soul. I struggled through yesterday, navigating my entire day in a thick fog. I couldn’t concentrate, but couldn’t have cared less. All I wanted to do was collapse into sleep, but I couldn’t allow myself that luxury. Sleeping during the day would have been counterproductive; even a short nap could have led to another sleepless night. So, I suffered through my day, just waiting for the deliverance of nightfall. And when it came, I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Sadly, this meant I wasn’t much company for poor Mouse. He came home to a shell of my usual self, a zombie using my body as a disguise. I made it through dinner, but not much longer. My eyes grew heavy and I gave into the temptation of sleep within the opening credits of whatever movie we put in. I was dead to the world before the plot even had time to thicken. But, quite honestly, I could not care less. Missing a rented movie was a small price to pay for such an incredible night of sleep. I awoke this morning feeling human again. Yesterday, my world was dulled by sleeplessness. Today, my world is bright, shiny, and full of possibilities. Now I truly can face the world and actually have a productive day. Like I said, it is amazing what a good night’s sleep can do.
