Non-Verbal Cues

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?
