I should both be getting more sleep AND I feel like if only I didn't need to sleep I'd be able to get everything done. Though some of it is my own fault in going to bed but the mm suddenly realizing it's two hours later and I'm still reading/playing solitaire/on the internet.

That is a more accurate statement of my sleep problems as well. Although I can fall asleep way early with no problem, but I have to keep an ear cocked for the sound of a dog struggling and failing to stand up so I can go lift him. Two three times a night and it takes me a while to get back to sleep every time. If he would just agree to sleep in the hallway outside by bedroom instead of in the living room it would be a lot easier, I suspect, but he is one rule following dog and I don't give him enough so he makes up his own and I guess that is one: hallway during the day, living room at night.

Because books.
Oh, Walter. Bless his heart.

Also me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, so you aren't actually sleeping. I mean, right? If you feel like you can't ever go deep asleep, you must be really sleep deprived, actually!

Ugh. My throat is not actually sore, but my tonsils are crazy swollen to the point that I feel like I have a huge lump stuck in my throat that won't go away. Sadly, not strep (went to the urgent care hoping the big white bits on the tonsils meant antibiotics would cure it) so not a great excuse.

I know this so well.

Swimming lesson barfed 10 minutes in, they ran out of one of the chemicals to test the pH so weren't sure if they'd be able to reopen tonight (they have to shock the pool.) Sigh.

Ew to barfy pools.
Swollen tonsils seems like actual illness to me even if it isn't strep. And I hate that something-lodged-in-your-throat feeling whatever the cause. Ick.
Probably so, Jesse. My phone says I get some in brief intervals, but for all I know those are times when I've gotten up and my phone thinks I'm being very still and quiet!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
One time I sat on the couch reading fanfic and apparently I was so enraptured that I didn't budge, even a little, and my Fitbit thought I was sleeping for like 45 minutes. #soproud

Brian's house is under contract, $175k, no contingencies and buyer paying closing costs. It is the prelisting guy, so I guess he really wants the house! Closing in mid Nov.
Got a neighborhood wine night tonight. I'm a little bleh from the thwarted swim, but it'll probably help.
