AM/PM Confusion

Weird. I woke up about 30 minutes ago and couldn’t figure out if it was 1:30 am or 1:30 pm, and what day it was. My first thought was that it was Wednesday at 1:30 pm and I had missed a bunch of work meetings. I was about to text out some apologies when I thought maybe it was Tuesday afternoon. However, I did have a work meeting earlier that was at 1:00 pm Tuesday so that got me more confused. I looked at the calendar app and the icon said Wednesday the 6th, which got me more confused since I remember going to dialysis “this” morning.

Sigh… it was not until I realized that it was 1:30 am Wednesday morning did everything fall into place. All my Wednesday meetings have not occurred yet. This is a problem when you sleep when you don’t have a good sleep schedule and nap whenever you can so you’re not totally fatigued all the time. That disorienting feeling was scary though. I also realized that I’m dreaming more often, even on short naps. When you dream, it feels like you have been asleep longer but I don’t think there is a correlation. I was having a weird dream, now forgotten, which made it harder to remember that I just went to bed at around midnight.

So I got zero sleep this morning after posting the above. I pretty much stayed up reading Reddit until 7:00 am. I know I’m going to be tired later today so I need to find time between all my work meetings for short naps. I was going to go out to get my favorite breakfast burrito but I guess I’m scared of the out-of-control pandemic surge. I’m sure the virus can’t survive a hot griddle but the chance of getting infected is not zero, and now would be a bad time to get sick. So no breakfast burrito… I just got a cup of decaf and made a PB&J sandwich for breakfast.
