What am I doing here?

It’s after midnight, and I’ve ended up getting out of bed to make a milky Milo drink … my eyeballs feel like someone’s rubbed sand in them and they smart like hell, I’m so over-tired.  I was so exhausted this afternoon I did very little, except for a few grapes and a bit more backstitching on Bordeaux – the only reason I did that was because it was still on the floor stand, and I didn’t have the mental get-up-and-go to choose something else – plus I may not get chance for the SAL properly when Mum arrives, so at least I’ll have some progress to share this week.

I made the mistake of laying down on the sofa at about 6.30pm, after getting a bit dizzy from lack of sleep … I kept waking up regularly, then dozing off again, until 10.30pm – I’m surprised I managed to sleep at all in the weird and uncomfortable position I found myself in, I’m amazed my neck didn’t snap!  Of course the problem since then is even though I’m still incredibly exhausted, and my eyes are literally burning, I can’t get back to sleep again – I’ve been tossing and turning in bed for over an hour now, and finally decided to get up and make a milky drink to see if that’ll help.  I have to admit I enjoy the night shifts themselves, in that it’s more challenging because you’re on your own a lot of the time, but it’s also relaxed because you can wear your trackpants/jeans etc … but I seriously hate the effect it has on my body.  I feel as though I’ve had a massive hangover all day, and I feel as though I’ve totally wasted the day itself, which of course I really have.

Oh well, I’m sure in a day or two I’ll be feeling a bit more human and ready to tackle a few projects I have planned …

Before I forget, for Carol – the Dragon’s nickname started at Mum’s work … one of her co-workers/friends starting calling her the Dragon, and even put a sign on her door saying “Dragon’s Den” in jest … and it’s just kinda stuck!  When Mum retired they had a HUGE collection for her at work (she was a factory supervisor), and this is what Mum chose:

 I also bought her a dragon figurine that is absolutely gorgeous, I just love it – I can’t find a piccie online, though, as I can’t remember the name of the makers, and I’ve given up trying to search for it.Anyway, I suppose it’s time for me to try and return to sleep again, seeing as it’s now 1.30am – here’s a quick couple of memes just for the sake of it to finish off …
