Hey look, I just had something remotely resembling seven hours' sleep. Wow.

Yesterday evening I had a half-hearted desire to drink enough to get a bit of a buzz. Then the SiL called, and all fun was taken out of my day, and the desire to drink evaporated. I suppose that's a good thing, and will keep me from becoming an alcoholic. But dayum, if ever there was a reason to drink, my mother is a good one.

I, unfortunately, did not sleep well, but I am resigned to the fact that there isn't much I can do about the rhinitis that goes with the pregnancy besides the Neti pot and making sure I have plenty of soft tissues on hand.

Andi, I hope your mother's situation improves soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEVERLY!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I managed to get somewhere between 6-ish and 7 hours of sleep, which was an improvement on the night before. I just wish I'd stop waking up to pee and then not falling back asleep (this morning it was at 5:45, although I dozed for about half an hour).

(Note: I don't mind the waking up to pee, as I'd rather my bladder not explode. It's the not-falling-back-to-sleep that I loathe.)

Also -- Happy Birthday, Bev!!!

Happy birthday, Beverly!

Yeah, I'm proud of my intact urinary tract.

Ha. That rhymed. See what an almost-full night's sleep will do?

Thanks for all the supportive thoughts about the situation with my mother.

Sparky, I'm sorry you are having rest-interrupting nasal ickiness during your pregnancy.

Sparky, I'm sorry you are having rest-interrupting nasal ickiness during your pregnancy.

Thanks. It's really very common, and shouldn't annoy me so much, but at 4 a.m. when I can't get back to sleep because of sneezing and both my DH and my dog are happily sleeping through every ah-choo!, I really, really want to give 'em a kick.
