Zorbing

That's one of my favourite songs at the moment, but it has some sort of meaning to it. Actually, no it doesn't. But my brain does feel like something from the planet Zorb right now, I am confused as hell itself.

Yesterday was a strange day. I spent all night being awake and then couldn't get to sleep before I went to watch what was, in hindsight, a pointless day of minor county cricket in Luton as the non-existent rain at times, threatened to wash out a day's play, I'll explain later.. I woke up at 9pm-ish on Monday, and planned to stay up till around 4, where I would get a few hours before leaving for the cricket at half 9. It didn't work out that way though, I ended up going to work, which was a pain, so I spent most of the day in a haze of tiredness.

09:30 came, and I left work, a little agitated at the lack of sleep and went to pick up a friend to travel to this cricket match in Luton. Rain was threatening all day and there were a few showers but, usually in cricket, when it doesn't rain, you play. The scheduled start was 11am, and at that time it was raining. Fair enough. Half 11, no rain. Go and play? Nope. Pitch preperations took the best part of 2 hours and by the time they were ready to go it had started pissing it down already. So the whole process was started again. It resulted in a day of no cricket whatsoever, which was the most stupid outcome ever. Why did they need to take so long to make sure the whole pitch was stone dry? Talk about over-protecting. Still, I could feel the effects of the early morning Mocha inside me so I mustered enough awake time to drive the kids home, via a few "Lollidopes", (don't ask... please..), and made it home, just.

Then I woke up at 3.30am. Again, don't ask me how that happened because I can't remember getting changed or turning the light off or even what time I went to sleep, I just did. I am still confused about why I woke up in the dark. Great, my sleeping pattern in the complete opposite of what I want it to be.. And I have to work tonight... Life's unfair!

So, I am wide awake, it's 7am and now I have to go back to sleep, when I don't need to, to make sure I am awake for cricket later, (which will be rained off I bet) and then work later, where I don't want to be tired. It takes real brain power to wor out a sleeping schedule you know. 6 days till payday.
