I nearly fell asleep at work today. In fact, if I’m accurate I did fall asleep several times, but only for seconds at a time. No window, no ventilation and nothing to keep my interest (I was entering long lists of dull coins onto eBay) and the result was easy to foresee. I kept jerking into wakefulness and not quite knowing where I was in the process. This is not what they pay me for, so I should do better.
The first part of my evening was spent asleep in a chair and the second part was spent making and eating salad. It’s time to get back to a sensible diet. I have an appointment in a month’s time and my weight is likely to come up in the discussion. I would liken it to the elephant in the room, but that would merely emphasise my tendency to excess poundage. perhaps I should begin dressing in grey.
Very little of note has happened. I have organised a day off so that I can take Julia to a training course (Mencap seems to think everyone has a car and can travel 20 miles across country by 9am). That has been the only thing of note.
I’ve been loking at houses in Country Life on-line. It’s not a good thing to do. I note several of them have cinema rooms. I have enough problems staying awake in an armchair in the light. Put me in a cinema chair in the dark and no good will come of it . . .
I hope that the salad tendency continues, as losing a few pounds can never be a bad thing. I keep trying but ice cream rears its head and I am set back.
Ice cream is useful for temperature control, so it is not entirely bad. 🙂
A good thought.
Many things look different with a slight recasting. “Preventive snacking” allows me to avoid both guilt and low blood sugar. :-{
Wishing you good luck on the house hunting!
Sadly this is all daydreaming. When we start looking in earnest next year we will be looking at much less well-appointed homes. 😉
Who knows? You might get a really good night’s sleep in a cinema chair, or barcalounger, as they are often called here.
But everyone else would have a really poor night watching films . . .
Snoring?
🙂 Oh yes!
I do love the idea of a big reclining chair to watch movies in. With a cup holder…
If I win the lottery and get a home cinema room I’m going to have a butler as a cup holder.
🙂
You know when I fall asleep 🙂
🙂
I do tend to drop off to sleep in theatres and cinemas once the lights are dimmed. I hate doing it but I can’t help myself. A cinema in one’s home is definitely asking for trouble.
Most organisations assume people have their own transport. I would never be able to attend any of my hospital appointments without my car and public transport is a joke!
I went to a concert many years ago – Steeleye Span – and fell asleep during the warm-up act. One of my friends woke me up, puzzled at how I could fall asleep in the middle of such an entertaining folk violinist.:-)
