This morning I woke up around 7:30am. It was cold in the house because we turn the heat off at night and the low overnight was supposed to be around 18 degrees. It was a bit “nipply” as Dad says. He turned on the heater and we had coffee while we watched the news.
Two hours later, I was still cold. I put my hoody on and covered my legs with a blanket. We aren’t ‘breakfast people’ so I thought I’d be different and asked Dad if he wanted me to make breakfast. He said, “No, thanks. I can’t eat on an empty stomach.” I laughed and tried to occupy myself on the laptop. After a couple more hours, I was feeling chilled to the bone. I just couldn’t warm up.
It was 11:45am already; nearly lunchtime. I gave in and turned on my heated blanket and snuggled up underneath. I didn’t mean to, but I fell asleep. I woke up at 1:15pm in a panic. I said, “Shit, it’s almost 1:30 and I have to be at that thing. I’ll never make it in time!” Dad looked at me funny and asked, “What thing?” “That thing they canceled yesterday. I was still supposed to be there today,” I told him. He was still confused and asked, “What thing? If you were supposed to be somewhere today, I didn’t know anything about it.” I hid my aggravation and tried to recall details. “Oh, that thing…” I rubbed my forehead trying to remember. Then I looked up at him and asked, “Am I confused?!” He asked, “Do you know what day it is?” I said, “It’s Sunday, isn’t it?” I got up to go to the bathroom.
All the way there I tried to remember details about the thing I was supposed to go to. By the time I got to the bathroom, I realized I was confused. I must’ve been dreaming, but the dream I was having prior to waking up had nothing to do with the thing I was supposed to go to! Of course, now I can’t remember what I was dreaming!
I’ve woken up confused before. I’ve woken up not sure if I was waking from a nap or after a good night’s sleep. I’ve woken up thinking I’m going to miss the bus or that I forgot my locker combination, but it has never taken so long to realize I was dreaming! I feel like I’m losing my mind!
I’ll never live it down; Dad will tease me about it for a long time and I’ll probably regret writing about it…BUT if you can’t laugh at yourself then who can you laugh at? Unga Bunga.

Oh dear Lord, I know how you feel, last weekend for some stupid reason I walked into the garage to grab a hammer, as I walked back into living room I forgot why I needed the hammer for! I stood there, thinking and trying to remember why I had the damned hammer n my hand! It’s been a week and I still can’t remember why I needed the hammer but it’s on the coffee table in the living room on the chance I’ll remember why I needed it 😵💫. But that thing you had t get to, maybe it was a dream, lol.
I do shit like that all the time. Just seconds pass and I forget. Like I’ll get up to get a 2nd cup of coffee and by the time I stand up, I’ve forgotten! Ugh.
I don’t know about that thing, but Dad didn’t pass up the chance to tease me about it. Lol. I knew he would. 😂
The worst are the mornings you wake up in a panic knowing your are late for work/school and then after to frantically struggle to get dressed you realize it is a weekend. I hope your Dad didn’t give you too hard a time.
He did….but he has forgotten about it. He literally does not remember! Lmao!
