Very Random

So, I started the freewrite in my journal. Wait, no, on a notepad because my journal is sitting on my desk, sad that it is going to miss today's events. And I started writing about the holidays, but it read like the same stuff from the past few years, so I decided to use the restroom and come back to start anew.

When suddenly...

When I entered the restroom, I noticed that the handicap stall was occupied. No big deal. Until I heard it. Snoring. Either someone can sleep anywhere, including a toilet, or someone plagued with narcolepsy (sp?) was two doors down from me. I have to admit to having strange bathroom peeves. Like people talking on their cell phones in the bathroom completely freak me out. Or, if I'm in the restroom and someone I don't know is in there too, I will wait for the other person to leave before I exit my stall, or I have to make sure I'm out and have time to wash my hands and leave before they come out of their stall. Weird, I know. But snoring? In the bathroom? Really? How do you even get comfortable enough to go to sleep in a bathroom? So now I'm wondering who the narcoleptic bathroom snorer is, and I'm kind of hoping that there actually is a medical condition involved in this person's nap habits, because if not, they must be really tired. I mean, I'm exhausted; I'm sure most of us are after this madness called the summer institute, but asleep in the bathroom? Wow.

  • Whoa. That's intense. Jennifer saw someone sleeping in their car one morning complete with pillow and blanket. Maybe it's the same person...

  • When I was dating my husband, I had to teach a corporate training class the day after. I slept for about 15 minutes that night, so in between classes, I went and slept in the bathroom. Thankfully, this was at a country club, so the bathroom was really nice.
