rejectomorphToday I've been sleeping rather than eating. I snack a bit, take the edge off my appetite, and end up taking a nap. It was much cooler today, and I might have felt more like cooking, but somehow the comatoseness took over. Saturday morning I woke up with hamster brain again, perhaps partly due to sleep disruption earlier.
I went to bed before midnight Friday, but then a contretemps of some sort broke out in my driveway about half past two in the morning. There was shouting, and a car alarm repeatedly went off. I have no idea what it was about or who was involved, but I suspect temporary tenants in the airbnb in the front apartment. May they never return!
To my surprise, I managed to get back to sleep once it died down, which was about twenty minutes later, but then I woke up a bit after four o'clock and was unable to do more than catnap for the next two hours, finally giving up on bed shortly after dawn. Then I had two naps over the course of the day, and I'm ready to sleep again now, Even though I've had no dinner.
On the bright side, the air conditioner has remained off all day, and might do so today as well. Less fortunate, Monday's possible rain has been canceled, and the triple digit highs will arrive Tuesday, then persist for the rest of the week. Well, shit. We're heading into Hell's foyer, and will have to go through the whole place before getting out the other side next fall. I'll try to make the best of the next couple of nights. They're likely to be the last coolness I'll get for a long time.
