Wake Up Call

Tweet

It was another of those sleepy days. I went to bed early last night. Remind me not to do that again, though I do need to be up early tomorrow for church. Anyway by early, I mean I was up at 3 AM. I watched Netflix and played a game and went back to bed at 6 for 3.5 hours. Up at 9:30 and forgot that I needed to be somewhere for 10. Sent an apology FB message to the hostess of the small group function for church. Later I was sitting in my recliner reading, and got tired once again and pushed back and went to sleep, and got a wake up call. A loud crash from outside the door brought me awake in an instant. I looked in the hall, and my neighbor across from me also peeked out. I asked her if she heard it too, knowing she doesn't speak a word of English, but she understood me. And then we heard it. "It was me, I fell." I looked towards the outside door and didn't see anyone for a moment, but there was a bottle on the floor by the front neighbor's apartment and then she showed herself. She had come in and not only fell, but dropped her groceries. She was drunk. She even admitted to having a few drinks. She also had two bottles of something in her arms. Since I don't drink I don't know what it was, but it was hard liquor. I picked her glasses up from the floor and gave them to her and she thanked me and made ready to go up the stairs to her apartment. I've been wide awake ever since and working away here. Have you come awake suddenly and weren't sure where the noise came from or what caused you to come awake in a hurry? Thanks for reading.
