Just another day in the life

So its the end of the workday and I'm driving home from work when all of a sudden, I'm hit with the need to sleep. I'm talking can't-keep-my-eyes-open-did-someone-one-slip-me-some-nyquil kind of sleep. Now I used to have great control over my ability to stay awake. I could drive the four hours home from Tech in the middle of the night or gorge myself at Homeplace, fight off food coma and drive back safely. However, this time I found myself turning blinks into naps and no matter how hard I hit myself, I could not wake up. I see the exit to my house coming up and and think of heavenly relief when my conscious takes over and I drive past it to go to the gym. If only I hadn't had that BLT hold the lettuce and tomatoes but top it with some more bacon sandwich! When I get to the gym I'm still ridiculously tired and the treadmill is the last place I want to be (the conscious can only go so far). So I did the only logical thing left to do: I put my seat back and took a nap in the parking lot. I heard the voices of people all around me and cars coming and going but I have to say, that was the best 30 minutes I've ever spent at the gym.
