I got notices to issue owners today about end-of-year due dates. I dropped Courtney off at the airport on the way home. We laughed and laughed and laughed on the way, especially talking about my holiday letter, which ended up being a “holiday media packet” by the time we finished talking about it. Too funny.
At 5:00, I went in to take a nap. I set my alarm for 8:00, as that was the longest I wanted to sleep. I slept deep. Vivid dreams.
I woke up at bout 7:50, and thought, Lord, I can’t believe it’s still dark out. I checked my clock again. Yep, 8:00. I rolled over, and 10 minutes later the alarm went off. I looked at the blinds again. Still looks dark. Odd. I got up out of the bad, and raised a slat. Yep, dark. I can’t believe it’s still dark! Then I thought, Maybe the power went out. I went into my guest bedroom and checked that clock. 8:00. Damn.
I went back to my room. Maybe, it’s really, really overcast. I looked out between the slats again. It’s dark. Then, Oh, that other clock would say the same thing if there were a power outage — they are both electric clocks. Let me check my watch. 8:02.
I just can’t believe it’s still dark at this hour of the morning. Maybe I should check the news to see if there was some kind of nuclear disaster or something.
Walking to my computer. DING. It’s 8:00 AT NIGHT! I took a nap at 5. It’s still Thursday night.
That was just the weirdest fucking thing. I was so sure the world was wrong and not me. Ding.
I met Jay out at Flex at a little after 11:00, which was one of the reasons I was taking a nap in the first place. He pointed out all of the gay.com people to me. We laughed and laughed and laughed about things.
