That flippin' morning

We have this superbly nice tea lady at my office.  Not only she makes us coffee, she also serves the drinks to us - she knows each of our preferences, and she even knows which of the many mugs are ours!  This morning, my nescafe was already on my desk when I got in.  Caffeine in the morning is a blessing for me, since I'm not a morning person.  Never have been, and don't know if I ever will be. 
 
As I reached to grab the mug, the writing on it caught my attention:
"I don't get it.  You put your head on the pillow for five minutes and the next thing you know... it's the flippin' morning AGAIN.  What's goin' on? ZZZzzz"
 
My gosh!  I have been using this very mug for a few months, saw the statement, but never felt so 'connected'.  I guess I have never been really, really sleepy like today.
 
Turned in late last night, almost 1.30am - went for dinner with my mum and a friend.  It was supposed to be a brief meeting, but it lasted til past midnight.  Who would have thought those two contrasting characters would click so well?  (Note to self:  Next time, only have dinner with these two on weekends.)
 
When I got home, I remember lying on the bed, and the next thing I know, the alarm went off! 
I take it as a good change for my week-long staggering sleep habit.  Been waking up every hour since last week, which sure enough affected my bp.  I wasn't surprised that I fainted Wednesday morning.  But my doctor did and, well... that's a different story.
 
I purposely put the mug next to my screen, and laugh everytime I get to read the statement - at least I won't fall asleep while typing, I hope!
