Reset Forty-Eight, Day Four
Feb. 18th, 2023 03:35 amFriday afternoon I failed to get into the bedroom while the sun was still falling on the bed, so I didn't get my sun nap, and then when I did get in there shortly before nightfall I found I couldn't actually sleep. I sort of semi-napped and daydreamed for about three hours, then gave up on the idea of resting and woke the computer up. If I can't sleep, neither can it.
Later I had a sandwich, and beer, but that didn't make me sleepy, so I just kept doing stuff. I also kept eating stuff— crackers and peanut butter and butter and a slice of cheesecake. I still don't feel sleepy, but I'm sure as hell tired. I'll probably go lie down again in a while, and read something on paper, and hope that it puts me to sleep. But my brain keeps wandering off into those somewhat disjointed fantasies that distort and befuddle memory, apparently a feature of advancing age.
The upcoming mini-heat wave is now predicted to be two days long, with highs of 70 degrees on both Sunday and Monday. A tiny springlet. Maybe I'll go sit outdoors for a while. I haven't done that recently. I keep forgetting the outdoors is there, just as I keep forgetting that the sun falls on the be in the afternoons. I wonder if my mockingbird has been around? I can't hear the birds with the windows closed. Maybe tomorrow. Though I'll probably forget all this by then. Hell, I think I'm forgetting it right now. What was I going to do?
