Afternoon Naps

August 27, 2014, Supplemental Note

Although I had already written a note this morning for today, the afternoon naps needed noting.

I had folded some towels and put them away and thought a nap would be nice. I write this having just awakened by a phone call from Donna and some things are not straight in my mind but sort of bubble up with clarity. If this doesn't make sense I'm sorry but I am trying to explain a moment that may explain, show, what is wrong. Something not right.

I lay down thinking. Flitting from thought to thought like a bird outside on a tree.I didn't think I was asleep when I awoke with a need to go to the bathroom. I sat up on the side of my bed and felt like I was tumbling into the floor but could see myself in the mirror. My head was bobbing in a different direction. It was confusing so I lay back down again. I remember glancing at the clock, my cellphone, and much more than the couple of minutes of seeming sleeplessness with my eyes closed had passed. I raised back up again, but more slowly, and could then get up to go to the bathroom. I only seemed wobbly when I washed my face after washing my hands after.

I laid back down, placing my cell phone on the pillow beside me, closed my eyes. I thought I was up, I don't remember what I was doing but suddenly things dissolved and the phone on the pillow appeared in the middle of my view. Donna was calling to see if I was 'up to' going to church tonight.

Well, I wasn't feeling up to much of anything.

The phone says she called at 3:55. I sat down to start this note at 4:02. It is now 4:28. I am thankfully not in pain, but I am not quite right.
