This afternoon opened up for me unexpectedly so I had time to go back to my office and work on some paperwork. One of the people I share the office with, like me, prefers to not use the over head lights so it is often dim with desk lamps for light. That was how it was this afternoon and we were both working away. I mentioned to her that I was feeling sleepy from not being active for a couple hours.
Not long after that she stepped out and the room was completely quiet and dim and peaceful as I sat looking at a map on my screen. I could feel my eyes getting heavier and heavier. The screen started to blur into a blob of colors and the next thing I know I am whacking my face against the edge of the keyboard as my elbow slipped off the edge of the desk and my chin slid off my hand and let gravity take it quickly down before I could wake up enough to stop myself!!! Lol!!
I have often dropped my phone and tablet on my face as I fell asleep with them in my hands in bed. And a couple of times I caught myself from nodding off at the computer....but this is my first keyboard face plant! Lol!! I think I need to have some back ground noise in the afternoons to keep me awake when I'm planning and doing paperwork!
After 15 years of trying to finish my undergrad, I spent the week before finals in and out of the ER. During finals I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. I graduated Magna Cum Laude the next weekend from Western Michigan University. I am now blogging about my experiences of fighting cancer & living life after in hopes of being able to help others.
