Sleep clock went awry

My obsession with properly placing my novel on a blog threw off my sleep clock making me awake all Sunday night and managed a few hours sleep Monday morning. The drive to figure why it was not working right left me in a daze all day that I could not bear to turn my computer. I think I got an hour a sleep in the late afternoon. Monday night was trying every trick I could think of to fall asleep. I finally got some sleep in before going to my volunteer position. I felt refreshed once I dragged my exhausted body out of bed.

Strange that people think my obssessions circle around rock stars and actors. Actually, it is my writing. Writing is my passion and #1 obssession. Funny how people some people think they know me because they see me regularly at work when really they know shit about me.

Example: A few times car rental agents next door complained my clothes are too drab looking and need to spice up my wardrobe. I explained I was in my work uniform that I don't pick out. Then, shouted back how they never seen me in regular clothes, so how would they know what I wear at home.

Another example would be someone who thought I vaccuumed my apartment every day because of my allergies. I actually hate the sound of vaccuum cleaners so, no. I once went 2 months without vaccuuming one winter. I also do not own an electric can opener because I can not stand the whirling sound it makes. It is just something about that sound that makes me shake and plug my ears. But then, people at work would not know that about me.

Yet another example of wrong judgment: A coworker thought I was once an obese child to explain why I am so paper thin now. No, I have always been tiny and have pictures to prove it. Every woman on my Mom side of the family was puny too.

Out of examples. Post later. Bye!
