Bad Morning

Posted on Tuesday, November 21, 2006 at 04:00

Something really weird happened when I woke up at 5 a.m. this morning. I just sort of flipped out on Dom, on myself, on my job and life. I was utterly and totally miserable, thinking that this was it: I finally lost my mind and I would nevr be happy again. Poor Dom had no idea what to do. He told me to call in sick but I couldn't-I was due to arrive an hour before anyone else, there was no one to call. At the same time, I was certain there was no way I would be able to drag myself out of bed and face the world. It was so cold and dark and suddenly I was a little kid again.

It was only when all of my misery was so overwhelming that Dom started to slip, to whimper himself, that I managed to get ahold of myself. It was like waking up from a nightmare, I slowly realized who I was and what I'm about and yes, it will be light again soon, someday it will even be summer again. I wasn't okay all at once. I crawled to work and dealt with customers for hours before I felt fully normal. I developed a headache, and I'm very tired and will go to sleep soon, but otherwise I feel perfectly normal. I asked a friend to take my shift tomorrow, just in case, but I hope nothing like that ever strikes again.
