Yesterday (Friday) I woke up feeling completely exhausted. Maybe those weeks of no sleep finally caught up with me. My dad woke me up at 6:30 to take him to the bus, and I just mumbled "not going to school" and fell back asleep.
When I woke up it was about 11:00 am, and I was happy because it was the longest I had slept for quite some time. I stumbled out of bed and made some indian food and green tea. The indian food was really good, and cleared my sinuses. I wasn't feeling particularily sick, just a bit of a sore throat and completely exhausted. I watched tv for about an hour, I hadn't watched any tv in quite awhile. I saw a Kids in The Hall episode I had never seen before, I love that show so much.
After that I read The Stranger while listening to the Cure (too perfect, considering "Killing an Arab" is based on The Stranger), and fell asleep at about 4:30. I expected to sleep for maybe an hour or so, but when I woke up it was 8:00 am today. I felt much better when I woke up. My sore throat is gone, and I just feel tired and my hearing is a bit skewed. I drank all of our green tea, so we only have lipton left which I don't like. I need to get some more tea.
I had the strangest dream last night. I dreamt that I was on a ship in the midst of a terrible storm, and only ten people from the ship could be saved before it sunk. The ten people were chosen, and I was not among them. Elise was chosen to be saved, and after I learned that she would be saved I was completely at peace. I sat peacefully while water engulfed the ship, and right before I drowned I felt completely satisfied and happy.
This was one of the most peaceful dreams I have had, even though I was dying I felt completely calm and safe. It was so real and vivid that when I woke up I wasn't sure where I was. It is the first dream I have remembered in quite awhile.
I read that Dancer in the Dark is in theatres, that is so fabulous. When I am feeling better I will go see it. I've been waiting for it to come out for so long, I know I will love it. I'm a bit tired, I'm going to go to sleep.
