Five-Hundred Word Challenge 1308: Tired and Functioning

Been awake too long thus far. Been awake too long and still functioning which is good, but too long is too long and soon I will work and I don’t want to work on the lack of sleep that I am currently carrying. Such is the way of things but… yeah.

Will get through the day.

Not sure why I woke up so early, but it meant I went on a drive… or it didn’t. What I mean to say is that I ended up going for a drive. It was a short one but it was nice. It had purpose and it got done what it needed to get done and now I’m here and I’m tired and I’m going to get a second coffee because I’m tired and need to consume greater quantities of coffee in order to stay awake, or something.

In the interim I’m just trying to get through this and then move onto the next thing and then go from there. I don’t have time to go back to sleep as soon work starts so I need to stay awake and keep powering on and hope for the best and all that stuff. The usual things, as they say.

Actually not sure how usual those things are as I don’t speak much to people about that kind of thing but… yeah.

So anyway I think I can get through the day but it will be a wild ride of tedium and roughness. It will be as though sand will consume this space and I must struggle through its coarseness. I need to get through it and get to the end and I will get there at the rate of one second of time per second of time. That may take a while but there are only so many seconds in the day and so I will get there.

Perhaps this bit of being tired is a sign and I need to pay attention as it’s telling me to stop, but I don’t know what it is that I must stop. It could also be telling me to go, but I don’t know where to go and so I wander aimlessly, and but wandering aimless I mean I sit at my desk and try to work out what to write so as to write something and hopefully ignore the fact that I’ve been awake too long and desperately desire sleep but I have no idea as to when sleep will arrive, though there is an idea of it arriving alter today and by that I mean in the evening and by that I mean tonight and by that I mean tonight, in the evening, when the sun has set and the sky is dark and there is a suggestion of the going to sleep, though of course I could resist and stay awake but I don’t want to do that, so… yeah.

So anyway I’ll get through the day but it might just take a while.

The time it took to write five-hundred words: 06:20:72

Wrote this in the morning, sharing it now due to procrastination.

Bit of a mess.

Written at home.
