It was Dad's birthday. The family was getting together at 6pm yesterday. Grandma was cooking a nice dinner. We would all cut the cake. It would be a wonderful evening.
I haven't posted here before, but I'm pretty firmly stuck in the free-running N24 life. 25 hour days on average. What's left of my circadian rhythm has had me lined up to fall asleep in the early afternoon these past few days. On top of that, I've had afternoon/evening things to do recently, so I've been repeatedly disturbing my sleep this past week. I've been getting pretty tired.
Yesterday, I made it to 2pm before my eyes practically shut themselves. I tried to get up for the 6pm cake, but I missed it. I was so tired, I slept straight through to 1am.
I feel pretty bad about it. Apparently, I heard that without me, Dad didn't want to take the cake out. Everyone got mad at everyone else. It ended up being a mess. I just wasn't strong enough to wake up. Another important birthday missed. At least I feel well rested today.
