My husband is a gamer. He plays a certain game that he leaves on all night long because fishing gets his toons experience (if that sentence didn't make any sense to you than be happy right now). So he leaves his computer on all night. He also has a laptop that he leaves on all night for the same reason, just a different toon.
Last night the fan on his computer made a funny tone. That in itself isn't a problem. The problem came when the laptop's fan made a counter-tone that together with the PC's fan's tone sounded EXACTLY like the emergency broadcast signal. So it woke me up. Then it wouldn't let me go back to sleep. I put on Ron White's "A Little Unprofessional" routine because it was dark and I turned it down so it was just barely louder than the dueling fans. It took about an hour, but I fell asleep. Then the fans both started up again so I woke up again. This time I put on one of Hannibal Burris' routines and fell asleep quickly (not because he's boring....he's HILARIOUS).
Then 5:30 rolled around, and my dog started freaking out. His barks were more like yelps of pain and I jumped out of bed to see what was the matter. He tore down the stairs so I let him outside and he ran out and started barking. It turns out the neighbors let their dogs into my yard to do their business, and my dogs don't like that AT ALL. So I brought my dog back in and he put his face in the water bowl. The water bowl I specifically asked my stepson to fill before he went to bed. Finding the bowl empty, the dog ran to the bathroom and was about to go for the toilet before he remembered I frown upon that sort of behavior and he looked at me. So I knew he was thirsty and poured him some water and sat while he slurped down half the bowl. I made him stop thinking drinking that much water would make him vomit. So I put him back to bed and tried to go to sleep myself except I was mad that the bowl was empty. My children all have the power to say "no" when I ask them to do something (if I tell them, they have no choice LOL). So when they say they'll do it, in my mind it's done. So since I was upset but the kid in question was still sleeping, I sent him a Facebook message.
Then I gave up. There was no way I was getting any more sleep.
Now I'm trying desperately to get something, ANYTHING done, but I can barely function. I've already consumed more sugar than I've allowed myself to have all last week combined, but I'm too tired to prepare a healthy meal for myself. It's pathetic.
So my day is basically ruined, but I figure there must be a reason for it. I just don't know what it is. I'll try to sleep better tonight.
