I could never get back up when the future starts so slow

[sovay]

In order to make my doctor's appointment this morning, I slept about an hour last night. I am very proud of myself for keeping both eyes open and focused at the same distance throughout. Afterward I met my mother for lox and bagels at S&S, dropped by the library to request some novels, and came home intending to use the afternoon to write about at least one of the three movies I've seen since last weekend, but instead I passed out for four hours solid. That's more sleep than I've gotten some nights this week, so even though it makes me feel I've done nothing with my brain all day, honestly I'll take it.

Yesterday, as rushthatspeaks and I passed the Somerville Community Growing Center, we saw a pair of musicians with guitar and accordion leading an audience of children and parents/adults in a chorus of "Wild Mountain Thyme." The weather has been nice and all, but that's how I believe we have a solstice coming.

I know I have very particular tastes, but I expect more from a poem titled "In the Drowned Bookshop."

I've had a couple of days this week where the sleep deficit has been bad enough I didn't feel safe driving. And yesterday was a hospital appointment so rather than catch up on sleep I ended up getting up two hours earlier than usual. Grrr, and sympathies, and take the sleep where you can get it!

Glad of some sleep! Hope you are able to have some more soon.

I hope you catch up on sleep soon. *support support*

I am glad you got some sleep, even if it was achieved with a sneak attack on sleep's part. Perhaps the solution to insomnia is late onset narcolepsy?

I hope regular sleep returns soon.

Heh. I too read that article and thought that nothing in it compared to this poem written by Jacob Polley for the bookshop in Cockermouth.

All the sympathies on the lack of sleep.

I've been sleeping VERY badly lately, and chronic fatigue syndrome + only 3 hours sleep = human who can only barely walk and talk.
