food before sleep

After work this morning I took advantage of the recent decision by Burger King to offer burgers before eleven in the morning. The thought of finally being able to eat a hamburger after work brings a smile to this third shift worker. When I get done with work, I want something other than a croissant and juice. Oh, I know that it isn't healthy for me, but it isn't a daily habit either.

I should have gone to bed as soon as I finished eating two double cheeseburgers with bacon, but I didn't. I kept telling myself that I would have to be up and showered before six this evening, because the landlords wanted to show the house again. Despite the warnings to myself I didn't fall asleep until shortly before noon. The movie Sliding Doors with Gwyneth Paltrow kept me awake.

Later in the evening I found out that I really am too nice of a person. Here I had rearranged my whole schedule to meet the proposed showing time of my house and nothing happened. I cut my sleep short for them and no one came through the house.

I contemplated leaving a note on my door for tomorrow night saying that I am sleeping and that they need to knock real hard to wake me. Just in case they try to enter, I should barricade the door. Somehow I doubt that my sleeping would prevent them from entering. Yes, I am still harboring feeling of ill will towards them.

I'm not sure, but today may have been the warmest day of the year yet. A breeze flowed from west to east in my house as a stream of sunlight crossed the floor. It was as though I were standing inside an ancient sundial and today was the solstice.
