So a friend said that she keeps young by eating right and exercising and sleeping eight hours a night. Wow, eight hours a night, I feel like I’m pushing it when I get 5 hours a night. So Thursday was a really long day for me with a 7:40 AM staff meeting, and the rest of the day filled with the usual dog and pony show and then the custodians showing up at my door at exactly 3:36 to help me move my furniture. so as to rearrange my whole computer lab. Ugh. They were done by about 6 PM and I was done rewiring everything and went home about 7:30.

I was fried by the time I got home but I had to create a seating chart for my classes (seeing that I’d just rearranged 75% of the classroom). I pretty much worked on that until I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer and then crawled into bed. Eight-hours sleep, I wonder what that would feel like? The best I could manage would be maybe six, it then being 11:30.

I was exhausted but my head was still buzzing from the deeds of the day. Then just as I was mentally slowing down and beginning to fall asleep I had the physical sensation of someone crawling into bed behind me and snuggling up to me. It was so real and so unusual that I woke myself up and sat up in bed. Of course, no one was there but I had this feeling like some one had been there. I didn’t know what to think about this in that I’ve lived alone for about 14 years. Was this a memory? Or maybe I was just psychically sensing what someone who used to be close to me was feeling? I don’t know. It was nice but strange. Add to that that the apparition joined me in bed after I laid down… I’ve yet to have been associated with any one who has been able to operate with as little sleep as I tend to get, so to have this one crawl in bed after me was very very unique indeed. It kind’a confirms for me that I’m really not meant to live or sleep alone as I have for so long. Somehow snuggling up to my large pillows wasn’t quite the same after my fleeting encounter with a memory mate. JBB
