Sleep Deprived

With the crappy night’s sleep (in bed at 12:00, asleep at 2:30, saw the clock again at 4:30, tossed till 6:30) I’m in a crappy mood. So here’s what was going through my head last night. Why the heck do the cars/trucks with the noisiest exhausts have to drive by my house at 1 or 2 o’clock in the morning? And the Boom cars omg the boom cars. Have they been reading my blog and know I’m going to have a hard time sleeping? Are the sleep gods sending text messages to these people suggesting they gun the gas when they drive by instead of actually slowing down to the speed limit? Do people put signs out at night, semis please use alternate route down this street, she’s trying to sleep? Then there’s the flight for life helicopter making trips to the local hospital. Well, usually it’s making trips, last night I swear it was hovering over my house. You’d think the helicopter fuel would be too expensive to sit and hover, overlooking the area. Or was it circling like a vulture, waiting for me to gasp my last breath and swoop in? Sorry fellas, not tonight. I’ll let you know when the timing is more convenient. Till then I’ll keep you on speed dial. And next time you fly by can you get a little altitude? Is it necessary to skim the tree tops right outside my window? I have the flares and speed dial ready, you won’t miss me. If the flare comes too close to you I’m sorry, unless you’re doing the low altitude hover again, then it’s a toss up as to what my intentions are, you never know what’s going through a sleep deprived brain at 2:00 in the morning. I figure the next step is to further injure my back/shoulder and end up in the hospital, have one of those nurses bring me drugs every four hours and keep me sleeping like a baby.

You sure you weren;t trying to bag some *Z's* in MY neighborhood last night:
Sounds EXACTLY like what I deal with nightly.

EVERY car thazt has a "performance" muffler or a NON-FUNCTIONAL one are the cars that come by OUR house to all hours.

Be nice if Indiana reinstated an INSPECTION schedule for drivers...might get all of those buggers FIXED or replaced...'ya think?

And I can tell the chopper's coming before Wifey even hears it...it's an "acquired trait"...lol!
I tell her whether it's INBOUND or OUTBOUD, too.

It if were daytime, I'd say YOUR chopper was inspecting powerlines, but certainly NOT at 2-freaking-AM!

I swear sometimes it's like "someone" wants all the "mature" people the hell out of the area, and will stop at nothing to make it happen.

Sorry, that ain't happening while I can draw breath.

Good post.

Keep it REAL!

And stay safe down there.
