Meandering Monday

It’s 4:55am and I need to be getting in the shower shortly for my commute to Wellington for the day. I’m on a 7:00am flight this morning for my first meeting at 8:30am.

I had the most awful nights sleep, I dreamt I’d forgotten to set my alarm and even after I checked it around midnight I still couldn’t get the thought out of my head and I seemed to wake at least hourly for the rest of the night. Consequently I’m feeling shattered and my day hasn’t even begun yet.  To top off the start to my day it is absolutely pouring with rain outside – bucketing down.

Another thing I dreamt about for some reason was body parts with 3 letters – I know, weird eh?  I’ve been laying in bed seeing how many I could think of.

1. eye
2. hip
3. leg
4. arm
5. jaw
6. rib
7. lip
8. gum

What have I missed?  Surely there are more.

I figure I need to expunge this from my head or else it might torture me again tonight.
