Cabin Fever

In the span of two days, I wound up getting an intense case of claustrophobia in regards to my house. I don't know why, exactly. Just that I wanted out. I craved an adventure and for some reason, I wished to do so alone. Coupled with that was this sudden urge to not sleep.

Sometimes I get this strange desire to pull an all nighter, work until morning, watch the sunrise while I have some coffee, ease into the day, and then just barrel on through with whatever else needs to get done. Normally, I ignore this. Because it's crazy. It's bizarre. Normal people don't do that.

Recently, I decided that "normal" never applied to me and that I simply don't care what other people think of me or what I do with my time. So, following that mantra, I decided to stay up all night. It wasn't until around 5:30 that I realized my mom would be getting up and would undoubtedly question why I was awake. Thankfully, she didn't press the issue and let my randomness be.

Now, I really shouldn't call it an all nighter. I did nap for about two hours. (Aside, I'm smelling toast. I hope my brother is making something, otherwise, insanity literally is only moments away.) Anyway, now that I'm almost to my regular bedtime, I sit back and look at the day. I was incredibly productive. I had eleven things I wanted to accomplish. One of them was wishful thinking (building a custom bookcase). The only other thing I didn't get done was vacuuming, and that's 'cause I only just finished excavating my floor about an hour ago.

You've gotta blow up a room before you can clean & organize it.

Strange how I can function so well with so little sleep. I imagine that when I wake up tomorrow (later today?), I'll feel it and curse myself. At the moment though, I'm incredibly grateful for the fact that for once, I followed a brash and instinctual decision. I did a lot of nonprofit stuff and a ton of agent narrowing-down between the hours of one and five-thirty. Around six I began to get myself ready to go watch the sunrise.

All in all. It was a good day. I encourage you to do something random and unusual today. You never know what'll happen until you try something new. Make every day a new adventure.
