daze in a haze

There is something weird that happens to my brain after a night of almost no sleep. I can walk around and do things, but I find myself nodding off or staring into the distance. Because of the lack of sleep I took the day off and spent it trying to nap (with little success), reading and watching tv. Late in the afternoon I decided to tackle the long grass behind the garden. It was really long, like a foot long, so I put the mower on the highest setting and started plowing through it. After 45 minutes or so I had it slightly tamed. I put the mower away, took a shower and then a storm rolled though, pelting the ground with heavy rain. I don't know if it was the post-mowing exhaustion, the shower, the storm or some combination, but I pretty much slept from 6pm to 6am. Today I am bright and shiny again.
