I'm ill. Woke up at 1 AM, couldn't go back to sleep.
My throat was swollen, I could hardly breathe from the mucus running down into my lungs. So I decided the best thing was to drink some water. It was. The swelling diminished, the mucus was washed away.
I mean, I could have gone to sleep, but I had to do my laundry... so around 4 AM, I divided the whites from the colors and turned on the washing machine.
Why didn't I go to sleep after the water-drinking, you ask? Well... I have a problem with moderation. I had only 3 glasses of water to drink... and about half a liter of green tea... the glasses too were half a liter each.
The human body is not meant to hold that much liquid! So trips to the bathroom were frequent.
I tried to go to sleep, but I was tortured with the thought of my neighbor's birthday. I had gotten him a present few days earlier, but I didn't wrap it. He's a cool elderly gentleman, the best neighbor I've ever had, told me not to buy him anything.
I had to wrap it. Examining my condition I concluded It would not be wise to bike to the other end of town for some money to buy decorative paper. So I searched the house and used my colored origami paper to improvise something.
When I was done, the washing was almost done, so I passed out for about half an hour.
The neighbor's wife hangs my laundry after I wash it, so I left it in the common hallway around 6 AM... and did the dishes and swept the kitchen. -_-
Around 9 AM I awoke, hearing the voice of the neighbor conversing with his friend outside. Concluding that it would be rude not to deliver the gift at the first opportunity, I made myself presentable and went to greet him.
We talked for a while. He's a very talkative person, able to weave stories for hours. But eventually I managed to go back to my bed. BUT!
I've bought a wooden box for a friend. I decided to varnish it. Light varnish on the inside, dark on the outside. I did that the day before, but, I wanted to put another layer and touch up some more things. So, I did that for a while.
When I returned to my flat, the neighbor invited me to solve a computer problem. He bought a new keyboard. His wife gave me some cake and cream and sent me on my way when we were done playing with the keyboard.
It was about 12 PM, so I decided to go get some sleep finally...
But before I could close my eyes, there was another knock on the door. My neighbor's wife bringing me lunch. At this point I decided I would not try to sleep because it would be rude of me not to be awake when she brings the dry laundry.
The thing I was CERTAIN of was that I wouldn't be uploading anything to tumblr today. I already had my excuses. I could barely keep my eyes open, my vision would not focus, I had tissues in my nose to stop the downpour of slime. I was so tired I got dizzy when I stood up.
But... i had to put another coat of varnish on the box.... and I just HAD to put something up.
