Worrying

Grandad December 13th, 2007

I was fast asleep this morning, when I got a dig in the ribs.

"You’re coughing in your sleep.  Take a drink of water." says Herself.

So I stirred myself.  But Sandy, my dog was by my bed waiting for me to wake up.  She does that.  She just sits there patiently.  She won’t disturb me until I move, and then she gives me a face-wash.  I got a face-wash.

I also realised I needed a pee.

Herself was back snoring at this stage and I was wide awake.

I started to worry about things.

Why is ‘polysyllabic’ a polysyllabic word, but ‘monosyllabic’ isn’t?

Why is the word ‘big’ smaller that the word ’small’?

Why is ‘hyphenated’ a non-hyphenated word while ‘non-hyphenated’ is hyphenated?

I got up and had my pee.

There was no point in going back to bed as I was wide awake and worrying.

So much to worry about.

So little time to worry.
