A Galapagos tortoise. I’m so groggy I didn’t even think to write about my trip to the Galapagos for G. I think he looks just as groggy.
The only possible word for me today. Groggy. Nope, not hung over, unless one can be hung over on all-you-can-eat sushi, which, in that case then, yes.
I went to bed late and woke up at a time I decided wasn’t anywhere near appropriate and fell back asleep. And when I woke up again, my clock said 1-0-colon-0-0.
What?
I checked all available purveyors of time. Yep. 10:00. TEN AM. With vague memories of Brad Pitt in my dreams (Brad Pitt?! Why Brad Pitt? Definitely not my cup of Hollywood Celebrity. I’m more of a Nathan Fillion/Mario van Peebles/Eric Balfour/Brad James/Men Who Appear to Enjoy the Sci-Fi in which They Appear kinda gal) I leapt out of bed, but much more slowly than that and yes, spell check, I do mean the past participle of “leap.”
Ah, see? That’s the coffee kicking in. I do have some brain cells up there after all.
So I’m slogging through the day thus far, a day, according to the time, which is now past noon. Past noon. Past NOON.
Hopefully the grogginess will dissipate, leaving me bright-eyed and refreshed.
Yeah, I don’t think so either.

A Bit to Read 
I remember sleeping late, and waking up with a headache and then feeling like I have wasted the whole day. Maybe you are dehydrated, from eating all that sushi!?

The turtle image is hilarious, but captures that idea of slow moving mornings well. Great post.

Thanks! Yes, they definitely seemed permanently groggy. And that one seemed pretty mean!

I end up groggy if my afternoon nap turns into an extended sleep! Then the entire evening is written off…. Happy AtoZ!

I definitely relate to that! Yes, an afternoon nap can totally be a refresher…or it can feel like a mistake 🙂

Wait … Groggy? I’m still in G? shoot.
I meant to be in H. But my computer was a dick after I returned from Mandarin class, and I shut down completely.
Hope your day – and consciousness – improved. Guess I’ll move on to H now….

Haven’t done H yet, if it makes you feel any better! I’m hoping my coffee will inspire me. Unfortunately, coffee doesn’t start with an H.

I cannot sleep late. I’ve always been an early to bed – early to rise kinda gal. Anything past 7:00 AM feels like half the day is wasted.

Argh! Sleep hangover are … well, not the worst, but weird, certainly weird. That silly o’clock wake up can really play havoc with the sleep cycle but good to hear the brain cells remained present and correct! 😉
