Sleep

Some days are a bit of a blur.  Yesterday was like that.  I did most of what I planned but sleep called.  For some part it was denied but when I could I did it and it seems it was a gold medal sleep.
When I say I did most of what I had planned, I was thwarted by the unexpected.  I went to church in the morning.  That was expected.  I attended something planned in the afternoon that was expected.
But the lunch time plans did not go according to plan.  My plan was to ring and order fish for lunch.  While it was being prepared Merril and I were going to Kmart to get a shirt.  We had planned to get a plain t-shirt there and iron on a transfer at home.
We know if we could find a hotter press our transfers would adhere better, but as it is, iron on transfers last ages.
Anyway, we were going to get the shirts from K-mart which sell them really cheap.  Also, if we could, we were going to purchase more transfers.  Alas no one in the shopping centre sold them, so that became a task for another day.
We got the shirts though.  All the while I was attempting to contact the fish shop by phone.  It had never been a problem.  Today it was though.  I tried multiple times and could not make contact.
What was worse though is I could leave a message.  If I had not had that capacity I would have suggested we get lunch from a joint on hand.   But I had left a message.  Peter was after two pieces of cod and two potato scallops.
I actually find total failure easier to deal with than partial failure.  If it is total I  give up on that method and look for something that works.  Partial means it could be anything within the framework I am pursuing.
I know what I mean anyway.  In the end we needed to order the fish and wait for it to cook.  I must say it was beautiful, as were the potato scallops.  I reckon the best ever.
The process was not planned though.  By the time we had it and ate it, it was not worth trying to get some shut eye.  Too much time had elapsed.
I was zombie like for the afternoon activity.  My bed was calling.  Boy did I sleep.  I was surprised.  Day became night but I missed the transition.  What surprised me even more was that I got up for a few hours and then had a full night's sleep.  I can only think I must have needed it.
