. . .and it wasn't as exciting as it sounds. For one who is mildly, okay, way obsessed with Star Wars this sounds like a kinky fantasy or something. Let me just relay that my reality was anything but fun or remotely moving, in any way.
I worked 7p-7a last night which puts me into zombie/vampire mode by 0730. I made my usual treck home with one eye open and blaring the radio to keep awake. Get home. Smooch on the babies as they are being herded off to school by the big dood. Throw scrubs in the wash that has preloaded soap and fabric softener to avoid any confusion. Strip (this is the most exciting this story gets.) fall into bed with eyes closed on the way down.
"ZZZZZ-gggerrrr-zzz!!!" This is my lame typed impression of the sound of a toy light saber, click for real sounds, if you live in the stone ages, and do not know of what I speak. I jump up convinced I must be hallucinating and I am pushing buttons on my phone to shut the madness up. I have a light saber app on my phone, which, surprisingly, have not played in a long time. It won't turn off. I look for other sources of this cacophony, and it goes away. OK, back to my 6 hour coma.
"ZZZZZ-gggerrrr-zzz!!!" WHAT THE CRAP? Look again, for there must be an explanation. It turns off again before I can figure it out in my hazy, half alive state. FINALLY, I can sleep.
This time I actually get to sleep. I am plagued with dreams of saber fights the whole damn time but am too exhausted to even give a crap any longer. I know I am just hallucinating at this point. If you have ever worked overnights and tried to live a NORMAL life the rest of the week, you know how this could be possible. I just chock it up to "time to lay off the Wars."
I just got home from picking the chilr'ns up from school and still feel very unrested. I lay on my bed to, I don't know, blog, maybe. "ZZZZZ-gggerrrr-zzz!!!" OK, now I know I am wide awake, dammit. I am more focused and am able to track the sound with a more keen ear. What do I find? My kids light saber, A.K.A my light saber. It actually is mine, technically. Don't even ask. OK? It is behind my bed with just a perfect amount of crap piled on it to activate it when someone lays on the bed. It only stays on for about a minute if someone is not using it. Hence, the turning off fairly quickly. I can only assume that every time I turned in bed. "ZZZZZ-gggerrrr-zzz!!!" THE WHOLE TIME I WAS SLEEPING.
I am leaving it for DH to figure out tonight. With my luck it only happens on my side and he gets to sleep like a baby, with no distractions. This whole set up is like a perfect, accidental design. You can't make this stuff up, people.
I am off to "ZZZZZ-gggerrrr-zzz!!!", I mean work tonight. I hope no one coerces me to The Dark Side.
Love Yoda, I mean Jilly.
P.S. I am not sure there are enough K cups in te galaxy to keep me alive tonight. Vader owes me a drink.
