For the past few days, my sleep schedule has been buggered in the other direction, as in, I keep waking at 4-5AM and not being able to get back to sleep. Last night, after a few days of this, I couldn't keep my eyes open til the new 10PM...slept til 4, yay ( Read more... )

Caffeine dilates blood vessels, did you know that? I'm sure that for years, my vessels were expanded to the max, which is why I now feel like my skull is imploding, because without caffeine, all my vessels have collapsed ( Read more... )

I'm trying to resync my sleep schedule, really I am. Especially since I'm scheduled for jury duty at fuck-me-o'clock next Monday ( Read more... )

Thanks to my thoroughly buggered sleep schedule, I haven't been to church the last few weeks because I've slept through my alarm. I think I've been once in the last two months, which is dreadful. Ordinarily, I *might* miss once in two months ( Read more... )

One thing that can be said for last week's Ordeal By Cat, it sure helped reset my sleep cycle.

(Except it was actually Dino who was sick, and he could sleep all he wanted---but I digress ( Read more... )

The foot is definitely better; at the risk of TMI, it isn't oozing any more. Mb, bless her, has just dropped off some Neosporin. Now, I can put a bandage over my sore spot. That means I can wear shoes, which means I can go places and get things done. (Because of where it is, I need cushioning between me and the shoe ( Read more... )

Went to bed (Mb's) and slept an astonishing nine hours under a quilt in glorious air. Just woke up. I apparently slept thru Mb coming in, taking a shower, and dressing to go out. She went, and came back with Bunny, who was here when I wandered happily back to the living room to discover how LATE it is ( Read more... )
