mamagaeaSo yesterday I went out to my car to take a nap between routes and was pleasantly dozing waiting for the alarm to wake me up. Fell asleep and had dreams of it being 2:21, way past my clock in time. (I actually had more dreams than that, but I won't go into those). When I finally got my eyes open, it was 2:09. I was supposed to clock in 15 minutes earlier. I usually leave the yard at 2:07 or 2:08. YIKES! I ran inside and clocked in and went out to my bus. I was last in line at Westview, but I wasn't late. phew. I had set my alarm for 1:50 am, not pm. oops.
This morning I was having dreams of getting lost in the country roads of the boondocks and couldn't find my way home. Too many detour signs had created a labryinth I couldn't escape from. A touring bus came by and picked me up along with a couple other lost travelers. The bus traveled all the way up to Seattle before heading back to Portland. I was going to miss my clock in time again. I called in at 5:30 and talked to Sheri, the router, and told her the predicament. She said it'll get to the boss, but not to worry about it, she'll take care of things.
Later, I had left my car in a childhood neighborhood and I was trying to get back to work. I was completely lost again. I was riding a bicycle trying to get directions back home. One person told me to follow this dirt road but it went steeply up the side of a hill and I told her I can't do that. I will find my own way. I remember the short cut through the neighborhoods now.
I woke up and looked at the clock, it said 5:15. Not long before the alarm goes off...until I noticed the alarm wasn't set! I programmed it to go off at 5:15, but forgot to turn on the alarm. Good thing I woke up.
