somnambulistic skills II

category: short stories
scribble tags:

At approximately 2am this morning I answered my ringing phone.  No-one there….   …at normal wake-up time I discovered a new text message on the phone.  

There’s no doubt that I am a somnambulistically talented gal.  I can make a cup of tea while asleep.  That talent proved particularly handy when living with nocturnal Brits.  

But there is a boundary to these extensive skills that includes

  • reading.
  • constructing coherent sentences.*
  • typing T9 on a phone keypad. 
  • Yo-yo-ing*

* if you haven’t mastered it during wakefulness it’s a long-shot that you’ll show improvements when asleep.

Hair dryers don’t prevent car-crashes

category: using things

Choices to avoid an accident:

  1. Buy a hairdryer to ensure the car windows do not steam up ($30)
  2. Fix the air conditioner in the car ($500)

Unfortunately, this morning, I couldn’t tell if it was ‘foggy’ or if my windows had just steamed-up unless I wiped my finger across the window. Foggy and steamy. Apparantly, when your hair feels dry from a $30 hair-dryer its just lying. Cheap solution didnt work. With the heating and fan on full Loo Sea (1995, Honda Civic) was still struggling to give me a clear view of the road.

Solution?

Shower before going to bed instead of first thing in the morning

If there are no more entries on this blog, you’ll be able to infer the result, otherwise I’ll let you know how this experiment in basic physics works out,
