lots of coffee
Okay, I’m awake way too early again. What the hell? I went to bed when I usually do, about nine-thirty. B was already asleep. I turned out the lights and fell asleep right away. Didn’t even have to read myself asleep. My body was tired and my head was settled and I just drifted away.… Read.

Relief
Good news! I did not become homicidal (see previous entry). Unless defenestration counts. I may be in a peck of trouble there. (I am tickled to learn my phone’s autofill anticipated the word “defenestration” with just a six-letter head start!) Read.
