I feel that I am pretty adept at reading non-verbal cues from other people and I hope that others have the same ability. Not so! Let me explain.
Last week I was feeling run down and tired every day. My allergies were causing me grief and I was heavily medicating myself each day to try and rid myself of the symptoms. Allegra in the morning and Zyrtec before bed. Apparently, this was not a good combination for my body as it made me very Zombie like.
When I got home from work last Tuesday I was D-U-N. I was tired and grumpy. When I got home I changed into my oldest and most comfortable pajamas, I turned out all the lights and I put on my favorite comfort movie (Iron Man 2). I sat on the couch and broke out the Doritos so I could sit in the dark and escape reality for a bit.
All was well until my roommate came out of her room. Apparently, she couldn't read the scene. Dark room, pajamas, Iron Man 2 and the Doritos. She walked in the room, turned on all the lights and told me a story of her day for 30 minutes. SERIOUSLY...WAS SHE BLIND. I didn't want to talk to her. What else could I have done to make her realize I wasn't interested in having a conversations?
