Irrational Things Happen when You are Exhausted

Last night I didn’t get to bed until 2. Our flight from Atlanta was delayed four hours due to power being out in Tampa. Getting an Uber that late at night is slow and then I was just so riled up it took a bit to go to sleep. I finally took too strong a sleeping pill and I had crazy dreams.

One of them was that my friend Hugh did not actually die, but faked his death and then walked into the lunch after the funeral, after we had all said wonderful things about him. I would not be one bit mad if this is how it went. I would just like to tell one more story with him, have him sing one more funny song and tell one more hilarious joke. What a disconcerting sleep that was.

It has been a crazy day. I had to do the normal return from being away things, like go to the grocery and pick up Shay from the sitters. It was also the day we celebrated Kathi’s birthday and I really needed that friend time.

I had to rally tonight to teach Mah Jongg to my Cousin Leigh’s group. They are having class at my house. This means no commute, but I did have to set the tables up. I am maximizing Mah Jongg at my house by having classes here all week.

Thankfully I have some free time in the morning so I can unpack, do laundry and upload all the photos of Hugh for the video after the service on Saturday. I am so thankful that the service is this weekend when I was free to go and be with my gang. I really need to be with them at this time. I am hoping my dream comes true and Hugh pulls a big joke on us all and shows up. I know that is not , but on no sleep it seemed possible.
