So...I was supposed to play Basketball...er...earlier. We normally play on Tuesday afternoons, but since Tuesday was ass and Wednesday was gorgeous, we had deferred to Wednesday. I came home on Wednesday afternoon to do some reading, and an hour later it was 4 PM, and I was feeling pretty wiped. I figured I had well over an hour before I needed to get ready for ball, so I lay down for a quick nap. Apparently I should have set an alarm, beause I didn't wake up until 7. Damn.
"Well," thought I, "I've got nothing super critical going on tonight, so I suppose I'll call Melissa and see what's up with her." Opening my phone, however revealed that my phone was already running out of battery (piece of crap battery) and also I had a message. So I plugged in my phone and listened to the message from Melissa inviting me over for a barbeque and bonfire at her place. How felicitous. I didn't know if they'd still be eating, though, since I'd slept for the last 3 hours, and wasn't sure when she'd called, so I figured I'd call over and check rather than just heading directly there.
After a couple of rings, she answers, and we exchanged general pleasantries, which clued me in that:
"Were you asleep?"
"Mm...yes...shouldn't you be? It's 7 AM."
Let me just break that down for anyone who's skimming. I slept from 4 PM until 7 AM. I was asleep for FIFTEEN HOURS!
That all sort of hit me at once, and I just broke down laughing. I told her to go back to sleep, and opened the window to see that yes, in fact, I was looking not at twilight, but rather at dawn. So...that was a nice little nap. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy, now, I'd guess. Assuming she hadn't already made that leap. Did I say 'thinks'?
