Oh boy. I haven't been this tired in a long time. I only slept a few hours last night and woke up at 6-ish. What the hell is that about?
In my world, the odd thing about no sleep is that I'm just fine until lunch time. Once lunch hits my system, it's all over. My eyes won't focus; I can't concentrate; the world is skewed in angry directions.
Today, though, I decided to change that pattern a little and pretend I'm Alice in Wonderland.
It’s a great huge game of chess that’s being played—all over the world—if this is the world at all, you know. Oh, what fun it is! How I wish I was one of them! I wouldn’t mind being a Pawn, if only I might join—though of course I should like to be a Queen, best.
I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed several times since then.
Alice felt dreadfully puzzled. The Hatter’s remark seemed to her to have no sort of meaning in it, and yet it was certainly English. “I don’t quite understand you,” she said, as politely as she could.
She handles things so well. And so did I, once I figured out I'd fallen down a rabbit hole and everything was different.

This sounds very much like you, Dottinski. Especially the "as politely as she could muster" part.
