First alarm sounded at 4AM…snooze, snooze,,,snooze..a little over three times., I guess. This morning was a struggle. Gravitational pull of the bed is too strong to overcome and the unyielding spirit of slumber is yet not ready for the day’s work! Zzzzzz…a little more…until…finally I decided to get up nonetheless. Oh no!!It’s 30mins past 4am. I am forced to come alive!!
The previous days were blockbuster!!..Such as the company outing on Saturday—it’s preparation and the activities were just as tiring as enjoyable ; June 19 need not have to be expounded--being the day of the lords and kings of our lives,.. and of course the most nerve-wracking and energy draining of all was the day in the QCMem Circle!! What a day!! Amazing group of people with untiring spirit. Again leads me to conclusion – yes, this is CFC!! Nobody else can do so much task with so much fun and gusto!
Woke up with a bad sore throat, aching limbs..and sleepy head!..what else???Tiredness, exhaustion and simply lack of real rest caught up with me. I am not anymore the bubbly and energetic 25 year old who can put up a competition against anyone with nocturnal habits…that I used to be..Now I realize I am quickly aging at 47! OMG!!..
Sleep, sleep, sleep ..! I want some more!..But father clock is telling me it’s time to move! Move! move!.. Bathe Issa, dress her up while prompting her to take breakfast in haste. Need I have an option??or to slow down??No way! (Mothers do not have enough of that…as to the reason why…I don’t know either. It’s just got to be that way.) Now, it’s 5am..got to clean the dog house, feed the occupants. This morning was a real mess!!Whatever my hands could grab first, I just do it as needed. Hoping against hope I will not inter-change the food for the dogs and the food for the gods, I mean my family!! At 6:15am, Chay and Issa are ready and off we must go! We should be hitting the road and out of our village gate on or before 6:30!!Otherwise the traffic in Sauyo and on along Mindanao Avenue is not a pleasant surprise. Off to the road, prayer of guidance and assistance from God up there is a must or else I might doze off on or before the 42nd wink. Really very sleepy..pretty bad! Bad, bad, bad!
What a day!!!Aimlessly spent it waiting for the sun to come down until I touch down to another round of deep and restful slumber . Sleep, sleep, sleep..seems like you ‘re too elusive nowadays. Gone are the days, or decades ago, when, we, as children are prodded or were even bribed to sleep or rewarded for taking an afternoon nap. But as we age it seems like it’s always a game of chase & run with our comfortable beds and cushiony soft pillows. Sadly but reality, this is adult life.
