Don't DO That!

OK, so I wake up, most inconveniently at about 2:30AM. I'm lying there looking up when it looks like there is lightening flashing in my room.
Frowning, I blink a few times. It's still happening.
Oh, crap, I think. I rub my eyes and open them again. Still happening.
Oh, damn. I must have retinal detachment!!
So I get up, thinking about how I'm going to have to call my ophthalmologist, but oh shit, my insurance from the new job doesn't start for a couple of weeks, and oh crap what am I going to do...
When I notice that our !$##!@#$ CFL light in the kitchen (that we keep on for the purpose of not breaking our necks when we have to get up in the night) is flickering and sounding as if there's a bug trapped into the light fixture. I give it a dirty glare, and switch it off.
No more lightening. Yay for no retinal detachment?! \o/!
And now I can't sleep. *headdesk*
SLEEP WHY WILL YOU ELUDE MEEEEEE!?

I am too! It's something I have to watch for since I'm diabetic, but damn, that would have been *fast*. I'm also really really nearsighted so there's another reason to be careful.
In other news, I miss being online at the same time you are! *hugs*

...And is it sad that I should probbly know what the signs of that are, as I'm at risk because of how nearsighted I am, and I don't? So thank you also for that enlightenment. :)

Go me.
Lightening and also an increase in floaters are two of the major symptoms.

I'm trying not to laugh, just so you know. But isn't it funny the conclusions our minds leap to when there's no time for rational thought?
I hope you were able to get back to sleep at least for a little bit.
