It is Tuesday

Monday had finally come to a close, so I crawled into bed to sleep for the night.

Later, I was awoken by Melanie.

"Daddy," she not-so-whispered. "Can you tuck me in?"

I groggily lumbered out of bed and into her room. I tucked her in and rubbed her back for a while.

"It's time to go to sleep," I said softly and kissed her on her forehead. "Good night, sweetie."

I walked back to my room and crawled into bed to sleep for the night.

Again, I was awoken by Melanie.

"Daddy," she stage-whispered. "My bed's cold. Can you tuck me in?"

"Perhaps if you'd stay in it...," I thought to myself as I rolled out of bed and kind of limped into her room.

She snuggled in as I tucked the blanket all around her. I gently rubbed her back, warming and soothing her.

"It's time for sleep, princess." I said in a hushed voice. "Good night, sweetie."

I somewhat sleepwalked back to my room and crawled into bed to sleep for what was left of the night.

Not too surprisingly, I dreamt of sleeping. And of waking up.

What felt like only a few moments later, my alarm clock went off. It was time for work.

From my sleepy state, by my recollection, I had "gone to bed" on Monday night and had subsequently "crawled into bed to sleep for the night" 2 more times, plus the time I slept and woke in the dream, so, as I got up for the day, it felt like it ought to be Friday.

It is Tuesday.
