The good feelings of this weekend have mostly dissipated, replaced by the draining fatigue of a week of bad sleep and not enough of it.  I guess I need to sacrifice caffeine, for real.  I can get to sleep, but not stay there ( Read more... )

( Cut for whopping great length )

Thought my alarm clock said 4:47 am so I got up, puttered, ate a little, drank something caffeineated, and finally looked at another clock.  It said 1:47 am, as did all the others.

Just having a wistful look around before I go back to bed.  

Tonight was my first night with my new CPAP machine.

I woke after 3 hours with a bad cough and heartburn.

However, the three hours were a really *good* three hours.

Took Tagamet, am waiting for the heartburn to fade, and then I will go back to bed.

Actually, I woke up after a pretty sound sleep, due to hunger. Which is a little surprising: I thought I'd eaten plenty.

So I'm up, and I'm planning to stay up. Any West Coasters still awake?

I don't know if it's because I took two naps yesterday, or because I drank a lot of diet Pepsi, but after a five-hour sleep, I'm awake.

I usually give up and go back to bed when this happens, and then oversleep.  Since tomorrow isn't a working day, I'm going to try staying up, and seeing what happens.  I've been functional after 4 am starts, ( Read more... )

I won't burden you with details, but at one point a 500 foot monster, pursuing me across the countryside, was defeated by Miss Piggy ( Read more... )

Quelle night! I had dreams up the wazoo. In one long sequence I was Pepper Potts, trying to be alone with Tony Stark, foiled by such details as a giant sentient dinosaur. But I had other dreams, including the now-familiar one of trying unsuccessfully to keep people from wandering in and through my apartment, and another one in which I was being ( Read more... )

This is the second time tonight that I have come fully awake. I think this time I'll stay up for a little while.

I have a little voice in my head urging me to be productive, productive. No sitting on the couch and knitting. So I think I'll read technical manuals for a while. A bonus: the boredom may make me sleepy again.
