You Know You Might Be In For A Rough Day When...

...You have a Ski-Break night like this:

I awoke in the middle of the night with a tickle in my throat which cause me to have a few hard coughs. I keep a water bottle next to me, for just such an occasion (cause who wants to walk all the way out to the kitchen to get a glass, and wake yourself up more).

The next little bit is kind of a blur because I apparently fell back asleep again with the water bottle in hand. The next thing I remember is turning over, or twitching or moving my arm in such a way that I doused myself with water! Talk about a rude awakening. I kinda had to laugh at myself, but at the same time I was pretty upset because I had to change out of my wet pajamas!

Remember when I gave all those reasons as to why I struggle? Yeah, better add this to the bottom of the list (There are three links, this one must be number 25 or so from those previously linked lists)!
