I Can't Brain Today, I Have The Dumb.

You know the ancient curse, "May you live in interesting times?"

Today was an interesting day.

I woke up from a dream where Dad and I were screaming at each other in a fight.
I overslept.
I walked out of the bedroom, after just waking up, to find the kitchen floor covered in dishwasher suds.
Work was mad rush after mad rush after mad rush, with only three partners for both front and drive through, making 9 drinks at a time.
One of my co-workers, David, stopped a shoplifter in the middle of stealing from us.
I banged my wrist, my head, my knees, my fingers.
I kept making little, simple mistakes--whipped cream on drinks that don't get whip, no whip the drinks that do, green tea instead of black tea, black tea instead of green tea, hot instead of iced, etc etc.

I. Am. Exhausted.

E, a co-worker whose birthday was today, had invited everybody out for drinking tonight. I really, really wanted to go, but I was just too tired when I get off at 9:30. That, and I realized on the way home that I honestly couldn't afford it. I hate that I didn't go, as she wanted everyone there, and I've missed going out to just chill with fun people, but it just wasn't happening.

I have the next two days off from work, and I couldn't be more appreciative of them. One of them will be a Work Day, getting through my ever-growing to do list for Diplomatic Solutions; the other will be The Day Off: sleeping in, staying in PJs for as long as possible, watching an entire season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, etc.

For now, I'm going to curl up in bed with Ryan and watch stuff via Netflix on my iPad. And then sleep the sleep of the weary. The deserved sleep.
