Saba Imtiaz: Everyday is a winding road..

Is it only Tuesday? Perhaps a pitfall of working through two weekends has made me forget what sleeping in means as a concept. Envy friends who yesterday went offline touting (read: taunting me) great plans of sleeping in and watching TV all day under the guise of the Kashmir Day holiday. Though one friend has nothing to be envied for thanks to Murphy's law. HA!

Signs I am too tired?

• Sang along to Sunday by Sia until I went hoarse and began fearing for complaints from neighbours.

• Had an email conversation with a member yesterday where I kept reiterating I was 'free on Tuesday, but not tomorrow' until she kindly pointed out that tomorrow was Tuesday. Embarassed enough to want to die in shame when calendar pointed out the same truth.

• Had nonsensical babbling conversation with Alex at 8 AM this morning, which involved us having a pretend sales meeting online. Also featured Bob the flunky, now that I read the chat again. Wonder if Bob actually exists. At 8 AM, I suppose imaginary participants in imaginary sales meetings are awake and functioning.

• Bought a phone card with the aim of killing two birds with one stone - calling the family and break a 50 JD note. Left card in shop and only remembered it 5 hours later. Thankfully did not forget change from 50 JD.
  

• Spent 20 minutes talking to myself about the benefits of leaving warm, warm house and going out in the cold to buy junk food goodness.

• Inspired by dysfunctional relationships and lives of friends to begin writing the Great Pakistani novel. Abandoned attempt after two lines and thought of friends suing me years later over privacy infringement (read: washing their dirty laundry in public / exaggerating their dysfunctionality / pointing fun at them while pretending to be Great Pakistani Author)

• Trying to nap, cat-like, in front of heater. Realize I am not a cat and hence cannot fit entire anatomy in front of the heater. Miss cat. Wonder how cat is faring now that temps in Karachi are dipping to 0 degrees Celsius.
  

• See enough Excel sheets to start thinking life would be much simpler if everything came on Excel, with a neat formula to sum up everything. Realize life is not Excel, and laptop is not lifeline in the manner of oxygen tank.
