I was trapped in the gentle webs of Morpheus from yesterday morning until....this morning. Went to bed Friday night, early, and passed out fast. Slept all night Friday. Got up to to help Aunt Tudi with her insulin shot at 5 AM, then went back to bed. At 11:30, Llew shook me awake. I drifted through semi-consciousness from 11:30 until 2:00, when I asked if I could take a quick nap before we went to the grocery store. I slept for 35 minutes, then got up and drove Aunt Tudi and Llew to Bi-Lo. We got home a little before 6 PM and I asked if it was okay if I lay down for maybe an hour's nap. I woke up at 10:45 last night. Freaked out, I came and apologised to Aunt Tudi, let the dogs out to the bathroom, fetched Llew to bed, and went back to sleep. I finally woke up around 9 this morning.

I feel like I could go right back to bed.

I feel absolutely useless, but my Inner Morpheus, who feels no guilt, is screaming for me to go back to bed. I'm not going to listen today. I have obligations to my family to be present and conscious, and generally alive. Currently, I could be mistaken as an extra on a George Romero film, or Nick Nolte ~~again! No pictures are forthcoming. I do have a modicum of self-esteem, after all.

What the hell causes that? Do I really have narcolepsy? Or has some old hag from a fairy tale thrown a misguided whammy? Somewhere, Beauty is wide awake and doing her thing and here's Sleeping Ugly, wondering what the hell she did wrong. I guess that means some ugly castle servant will have to come give me a smooch before I can get on with my life.

I barely made it home earlier today, around 4 PM. I could feel my body going to sleep behind the steering wheel. Not good! Once we made it home, I law down on the couch and didn't wake up 'til right past 7 PM. Of all the symptoms of whatever it is I have, this is the most uncomfortable and the scariest. Driving when one of these spells hits is simply terrifying. And, when I wake up from succumbing to the sleep, I'm so stiff, especially in the hands and knees.

If the doc doesn't find anything in my blood, I don't know what I'm going to do. All I know is that I can't go on like this.

I had one of those narcolepsy fits and asked Aunt Tudi to shout for me in 15 minutes if I wasn't up by then. She said she would, so I lay down on the couch and instantly fell asleep. One hour and fifteen minutes later, I woke up to find Aunt Tudi and all the animals passed out flat. So now I'm watching A Christmas Story on TBS and fighting going back to sleep.

This has been one the absolute best Krimmuses EVAR.

Narcolepsy

There's a show coming on TLC tonight called "Nap Attack." I'm interested in watching it because I have nap attacks. They're terrifying on the road. I've actually had to pull off into a parking lot and take a quick nap because I could literally not keep my eyes open. They come in clusters, too. I can go for weeks having these nap attacks like every other day, then go for months without having one.

The last one I had was in early October.

The only problem I have with watching the show is that I'm highly suggestible and am afraid I'll be convinced I have narcolepsy after viewing the doco. I'm the type of person who'd be certain she has prostate cancer after watching a news piece on its symptoms. Yeah..that bad.

So I leave it to my fellow intrepid journalists.
