Growing older by the minute

 

A DAY IN THE LIFE (or night) I had the strangest thing happen last night.

As near as I can figure out I woke up from a deep nap around 5 pm yesterday and mistakenly thought I woke up at 5 am today

I had planned a lot of housework and feeling rested i went right into it. I worked for some time, then after 11 I sat down to do some work on the computer. It was then I noticed the clock on the computer said 11:30 pm. I spent about 15 minutes thinking the computer was wrong and that I had to change it to a.m. To complicate things I had closed the sun-blocking curtains when I took the nap and so didn't notice any daylight.

When I couldn't change it was when I began to realize I was the one making the mistake. There had been some hints like memories on facebook was a repeat and the stock markets were closed, but I assumed that was still for President Carter. And I wasn't sure about what day Trump was being sentenced.

Mind you I was confused and thinking all kinds of crazy things like I had slept through a whole day, or worse I had lived through a day unconsciously. I finally contacted a friend on line who was awake and asked her to give me the time and date. She confirmed the computer was right, That's when I realized waking up from my nap I must have assumed the 5 reading on the clock had been early morning not late afternoon. I mean it was so real I had even started my medication routine. Now I have a whole night and morning to live through again but at least the bulk of the housework is done.
