Last night I woke up when Jen came to bed and then I couldn't sleep. At first it was lovely, having a little check in. Then it was extremely frustrating. I didn't look at the time, so I have no idea how long I was awake. It felt like hours ( Read more... )

Stupid hand injury. A week ago after work I jammed my 4th finger on my right (dominant) hand trying to get into bed of all things. Self-diagnosed a minor sprain (swelling, no bruising.
