Wednesdays are the one day of the week when I need a good night's sleep. Not only is this the only day of the week when I have more than one class as a student, but I also have to teach my comp class early in the afternoon, plus I've got to make it through office hours without dozing off.
You can imagine how I feel right now, then, because this is normally when I'd be waking up on a Wednesday, and I never went to sleep. Oh, I went lights-out and everything about eight hours ago, but my mind never calmed down enough to let me get real sleep. The night before I'd had this odd nightmare about spiderwebs and spiders where I seemed to repeatedly "wake up" from the nightmare, only to go right back into a situation where there were just spiders and their webs everywhere I looked. I don't know what to make of that, but I must have had an awful time of it because I'd kicked the bedcoverings almost completely off of the bed by the time I woke up yesterday.
It's a good thing I decided to go off-diet this week, because I think I'm going to need a shitload of Red Bull to make it through the day today.
