Oversleeping (Freewrite Prompt: Oversleep)

in #freewrite6 years ago

I hadn't slept this well in months.

I was not uncomfortable. Actually, my bed seemed to be the most comfortable thing that I have ever been in. However that might just be my sleepy mind being dramatic. I was not too hot and not too cold. Usually when I fall asleep I'm either boiling in my skin or shaking like a leaf. No in between. Like baby bear's porridge the temperature seemed to be just right. The birds were also sing to me a lullaby type song. It was peaceful.

Wait-- birds singing? They only sing in the mornings, right?

I bolt upright and frantically search for my phone, causing me to get tangled up in my blanket.

"Crap!" The clock reads 9:12, in the morning. I've overslept.

I race to the bathroom and quickly splash some water onto my face, not having enough time to actually brush my teeth so I just squirt a small amount of toothpaste onto my tongue and call it good. Jogging to the closet I toss my hair into a messy bun and grab my work clothes and throw them on. Struggling to put on my shoes I grab my keys and I head out the door, down the stairs of my apartment and to my car.

God, I hate oversleeping.


Thank you to @mariannewest for the freewrite prompt!

Your description of you you raced to get ready to go to work had me laughing because I did that a few times. I could picture every frantic move.

Resident cat here, delivering today's prompt late but not because I overslept. Steemit seems to be having some problems and I wish it would run smooth as silk: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-293-5-minute-freewrite-wednesday-prompt-smooth-as-silk
