un-thawed

its really been cold today not in a bad way only that i did the most outrageous thing, took a boda in the morning to work and got all the lotion on my legs and knees run down, washed up in the annoying drizzles,i wished i had slept. i woke up in like 10 phases, set my alarm for 6am, i woke up at 4am hearing water trickle out of the tap out side my house and thought for a foggy sleepy second someone had actually clumbered over my wall in need of water and was afetching!so i dragged me sleepiness outta bed just to check (you never know). opened the front door and squinted in the dark for clarity to no avail. declined the urge to go on a 'nancy drew sleuth hunt' and decided it was the rain.dragged myself back to bed and stared out across my bed to my wardrobe, partially open and shadows from the pale light outside played images in my mind and on it (the drawer) looked like a squatting figure. so i gropped for my ka-torchi phone and turned it on to make sure i wasnt seeing things...i was seeing things.second phase was 6am, the alarm jerked me from some crazy dream where i found my friend's girl seeing another fella and i was sad i had to witness it coz it meant i had to tell him she didnt love him like he thought. breaking his heart was so vivid, i woke up disturbed, then my eye lids felt heavier than lid and with the thought of having to be up early to do what my producer wanted me to do, i slipped into another drugged slumber.third phase 6.30 am. i hate mornings, i hate working, and besides its still dark outside. i culculated how long it would take me to get dressed and out of the house to go cover the story i was to cover and i figured by 8.30am i would make it...so another 30 minutes wouldn't be bad....fourth phase 6.45okay atleast turn on the heater, sleep as the water warmsfifth phase 7.15okay get up now, water warm ,you shall surely be late.so i dragged myself up out of bed feeling drugged, abnormally tired and totally sleepy, had someone fed me to sleeping pills the night before? i couldnt shake it off. so i turn up the water, its mighty hot and then make a beeline for my couch...sleep abit while the water fills up in the basin... sixth phaseit took that long and within me i swore i would get home and hope into bed immediately. its 8:11 pm, am about to go in for the bulletin and i am still savouring those thoughts.its been a cold day.a cold sombre dayit was colder on the inside of me toomaybe thats why waking up was work.it always is...but today...was a pulitzer prize winner!
