Superbowl, and I Really Don't Care

On Thursday night I went to sleep much as I always do. I woke up on Friday morning with my usual weekday sense of urgency. I jumped out of bed and began pulling things out of closets and drawers and began dressing. My mom opened my door and reminded me that I wasn't going to class.  It hit me almost as a shock. I sat on my bed and began slowly to remove the things I put on and to pull my pajamas back into place.

I crawled back under the covers. I noticed the dog sticking her paws beneath the door, so I got up and opened the door to let her in. When she's in my room, she sleeps on a throw rug right newt to my bed.
I reached for my remote and turned the tV on. there wasn't much that caught my interest, but I like background noise, so I left it on the weather channel and eventually went back to sleep.

Someone came in a few times to give me things to drink, and my mom left the door ajar so that the dog could come and go as she pleased.  I noticed the sun gradually getting brighter and then dimmer, but paid little attention to it. i eventually woke up to notice the sun sot of out again. The clock said 1:40.  I had slept more or less uninterrupted for thirty hours. i did not think such a thing was possible, but it obviously is.

When I got up to eat cereal, my mom said I had a fever the day before -- nothing terribly impressive, but about 102.0 at its highest. She felt my forehead and said that I no longer feel warm.  That's a good thing, as I have plans to go to my Aunt Jillian's house tomorrow, and I don't go there if i'm harboring any active infection.

The Super Bowl s sort of a non-event for me. I usually attend someone's part to be sociable, but if there aren't at least a few people there who, like me, don't care a great deal about the game its;ef or even the commercials. I'm very bored. My Aunt Jillian doesn't care about the Super bowl, either, so I'll have at least one like-minded person with whom to interact.

Enjoy the unofficial national holiday.
