Every morning I have to get up at about 7.30 to go to work. It’s dark, cold and wet. I go outside and spend time de-icing the car, then even more time battling huge 4×4 vehicles doing the half-mile school run. The winter isn’t fun – especially when we’ve had to put our regular winter holiday on ice (geddit?) to save for the wedding. So the morning isn’t my best time, and I don’t usually get to bed until 1AM so I try and leave it as late as possible to get up.
Sleep is great, but I had one of those horrible things happen to me last night. I hated it, so I thought I’d share my pain…
There I was, deep in slumber – when suddenly I felt the need to pee. Up I get in the pitch black, stumbling my way around in the middle of the night. I stubbed my toe on the way to the bathroom but somehow managed to stop shouting, “F***CCCCCKKK!!!” and wake the neighbourhood up.
The only thing keeping me sane was the promise of a lovely warm bed, so back I plodded and got settled. I thought I’d just check my phone to see what time it was – just to see how many blissful hours of sleep I had left….
7.25am
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
How annoying. It wasn’t 4am as I’d hoped, it was in fact time to get up. To make matters worse my alarm went off just seconds afterwards…
Arse.
