Tonight, I was going to post a beautiful and thought provoking piece inspired by my time in Seldovia last weekend but frankly, I am not in a postion to write it. Sleep deprivation has made me punchy. Although I met a girl yesterday, Melissa, who sleeps only 4hrs a day during the 5 week long fishing season, my wits begin to scatter after only a few days of les than 7.5 hrs of sleep. One of the signs that my body is sleep deficient or tired is an overactive giggle box. I could hardly carry on a conversation this afternoon with one of my coworkers. I found every word laughable! Fortunately, I realized what was happening and pulled it together. Unfortunately, the bike ride home drained all remaining energy and intensified the weariness, resulting in and increase of the volume and the frequency of my laugh. The attempt to reenact a So You Think You Can Dance move left us heaving in silent laughter until that ear ripping laugh that some of you know so well burst through the house. It's a miracle I didn't gash my head or pull something hazarding the dance impression. Lyn's creative comments like "Get the chicken out of your ear" didnt keep the family solemn either. It's been a while since I have laughed so heartily.
A post about my wonderful weekend in Seldovia is coming but tonight, after much laughter and a delicious smoothy, I am going to bed EARLY.
