The trouble with taking naps

rabidsamfanis that when it's time to go to sleep you're not sleepy enough to sleep and not awake enough to do anything truly coherent.
Ten things I've done which I doubt most of my flist has done.
1. Been in a cave with no lights on. (Just briefly!)
2. Slept in an unheated attic for more than a year. (Well, only at night!)
3. Been stranded on a bus with a bunch of storytellers ... who promptly started teaching each other new tales to pass the time.
4. Nearly stepped on a rattlesnake. You'd be astonished how long you can stand on one foot when the incentive is right.
5. Built a travois from skis and ski poles with the express intention of using it to get an injured person down a mountain. (We didn't have to in the event because some big strong guys came along and carried her down piggyback, but we did make the travvy first!)
6. Worn starched uniforms that came back from the laundry so stiff you could practically build things out of them. (Unless you were in basic training before they started issuing permanent press, lol, and I think I'm older than most of you.)
7. Rode a Segway. (Just yesterday as a matter of fact... how odd!)
8. Told stories to a thousand or more people at the same time wearing a silly hat.
9. Approached perfect strangers asking "Have you seen the comet?" And had them stop to listen to you after you'd done that? Even though it wasn't at an official educational event or anything like that?
10. Flown as a passenger in the back of a cargo plane full of cargo.
