Oops. I meant to get off earlier, but it's already almost 2am. Not good for me. I was online at isketch.net playing an online version of pictionary. Time flew by. It's fun! Thanks, Lyle. I have a new addiction ;) Better go to bed now. Hope I feel this good in the morning.

Last night after playing isketch until almost 2am, I tried to sleep without taking any sleep meds, thinking may be I'll fall asleep since I feel tired. At about 4:30am, I was still awake and decided to take Ambien to fall asleep. I ate 2 tortillas and went to bed. That much I remember. What follows is my Mom's account of what I did after that. I have absolutely no recollection of this. I just woke up around 1:30pm today with the vague feeling that I might have done something after eating the tortillas because I can't seem to remember falling asleep. I just though that I must have read a few more chapters of the book I was reading before. Anyway, here it goes:

A few minutes after going back to bed I came back downstairs. I seemed really groggy. Mom and Aiko watched as I took an orange and started to peel it. I cut the orange too deep, so when I tried to take the peel off, a lot of juice spilled. Aiko, looking exasperated, cleaned up after me. I ate that orange and proceeded to grab another. I peeled that in the same manner. My motor skills are shot. Aiko steered me to the sink, so I wouldn't spill the juice all over the floor. I got juice all over my face too with Aiko diligently cleaning up. I eat the oranges like a starved animal and throw the peel backhanded in the general direction of the trash bin. I miss a lot. Aiko, probably giving up, picks up the mess and cleans after me. Mom and Aiko suggest that I go back to sleep now. I say, "ughn." I go wobbling up the stairs. They follow to make sure I make it. I pet Fishbone on the way to bed. I climb up the ladder to my bed and get under the covers. Does it end there? No, of course not.

Suddenly I sit up in bed and say, "where's the ostrich?!" Puzzled, Mom tells me there is no ostrich. "Yes, there is. The rabbit is the ostrich!!" I point at Fishbone as I lay back down. Soon after, I sit up again saying, "where's the princess?!" Mom patiently tell me there is no princess. I counter, "yes, there is. It's the rabbit!!" By this time Mom is wondering what I'm going to do next. As expected, I sit up again and ask, "what's the population of this country?!" "About 2 billion?" Mom answers. "Hmmph," I lay back down. I repeat this sort of things a few more times until, finally, I actually do go to sleep.

When I woke up today I felt really horrible. Yuhi's Mom called to ask if I could tutor Yuhi at 2pm instead of 3pm and I couldn't even talk on the phone. Seri handled it for me. I think she told her I was out, so she would expect me at the usual time. I took a bath (vs a shower) for the first time in ages, hoping it would make me feel better. It did a little. Then my Mom came home and told me the above. I cracked up and laughed. So, I feel much better now. Laughter is good medicine :) Eek. I have to get ready and go tutor now. Good thing I don't feel like crap anymore :)

Going off line now. I had to stop myself from playing isketch all night. Hee, hee. Only won 2 rounds it turned out though I did almost win several times (almost doesn't count). There was only one "bad" guy this time and the other players kicked him out. I didn't know we could do that. I learned how to send hugs and kisses in the chat box :) I was hoping Lyle would come online, but he hasn't yet. I hope his back heals soon. I feel bad that I was playing when Brian called because my attention wasn't entirely with him and he got bored. It was my turn to draw.... still not very nice to not give my undivided attention. Sorry.

Yuhi was more attentive today. His attention started to wander during the last 10 min and worsened when his Mom came out. I'm happy that he seems more interested. After tutoring I went to Toys R Us to return the Fantavision game, then went to Petco to get alfalfa hay and another bowl for Fishbone. I should have played with Fishbone when I got home, but I was hungry so I ate rice with chili while I did the crossword puzzle. And then (I'm so bad) I went online :( I'm going to go play with her now. She must be pretty frustrated by now.
