Court all night and sleep all day
Indeed, it is snowing. Patches of warm spring sunlight slant and brighten on our street and the snowflakes spiral through it. I don't think New England believes or cares that April Fool's Day by definition ends as soon as the second of the month begins.
1. Upper Rubber Boot Books has launched a Kickstarter to fund their two newest anthologies, Broad Knowledge: 35 Women Up to No Good and Sharp & Sugar Tooth: Women Up to No Good. The rewards are a pleasing combination of practical materials and egoboost. Please give generously! I have a story in the former and I should like to see it in print, not just an attractive mock-up in the Kickstarter video.
2. Dammit, how did I not know that Hampshire College has slime-mold-in-residence? I missed the symposium!
3. I really like these pride flag mermaids.
The last three nights, I have fallen asleep consistently before four in the morning and twice before three; it has taken me something like an hour after showering to fall asleep; I have slept at least six hours each night and once it was nine and a half. This is an unprecedented dent in nearly nineteen years of chronic insomnia. I am seriously wondering if it is the blue-light filter on my new glasses. If so, it is unlikely to be a placebo effect, since the only thing I thought they would do for me was reduce my chances of glaucoma in a decade or so. Either way, I'm trying not to jinx it. I could do without the vivid spike in nightmares, but it's sleep.

Thank you!
If it is the blue-light filter, I will geek out about blue light and sleep and other things that might help at the drop of a hat.
I appreciate the offer. I am waiting to see what happens with more than four nights of data. Please be aware that I have had insomnia for nearly twenty years and have both tried a lot of variously recommended remedies and done a lot of reading on my own time; I will try very hard not to be snappish, but the overwhelming majority of my experience with being given advice about my sleep cycle ends poorly.
