Yesterday was such a complete waste. Well, not really a waste, just thoroughly unproductive. Because of the sleepless night before, I spent much of yesterday sleeping. UGH. And then fell asleep some more just after Chris Hayes started (just after 7:00 here) and didn’t wake until the last few minutes of The Rachel Maddow Show (just before 9:00 here). And I thought, “What the hell?? How am I supposed to have any kind of good sleep tonight and be ready for the doctor tomorrow morning?”

Even so, I spread my bed up nice and neat, crawled under the covers just at 10:30. It wasn’t a deep sleep, I don’t recall much dreaming, I do recall waking to roll over now and then, but I did not get out of bed to pee. All night. Not even once! 🙂

And I was lying there wondering what time it was, so I tapped my phone to see — just 4:59. And its little chirpy alarm sounded as I held it the phone. I was in bed, and had stayed in bed, from 10:30 until 5:00. That’s incredible, given my recent history.

And my morning finger-stick is 109. Woo-hooo! Feeling mostly pretty good, though slightly groggy from so much sleep. But I can shower and shave in plenty of time to call for a ride to the clinic without feeling rushed. This is the start of what I hope will be a good day. Nice. I’ll come back here after the doctor visit to share any new information.
