oh hello feet and legs…
it's a good thing i'm not trying to go to sleep right now, because you're being very unpleasant
this is about the point when my brain wants to shut down to rest (despite the time locally), but my legs are having other ideas involving derailing that rest plan :/
hi again it me, still up. i almost got to sleep, but then got stirred back by legs. then i took an important phone call. now i'm alert again and this is ridiculous
latest restless leg remedy advice:
1) stop drinking caffeine [noooooooo]
2) maintain a routine sleep/wake schedule [but wait how if legs keep you awake idgi]
3) take a medication which may make your face puff out [what]
fun update
since last update 13hrs ago, there was two hours rest, followed by three hours rest, followed by another hour or so. some weird, short dreams happened, and i've forgotten them. i'm still drowsy, but awake, so it being 3:30 local, i might try to sleep again.
pleasantly, the windows are open and there's been a steady, gentle rain for the last hour. it sounds wonderful
despite my brain feeling tired, i've given up on getting back to sleep, so i'm brewing a cup of coffee
good day
new new update
well, i ruined much of my day, but on the bright side, i got some quality rest, so that's something i guess
@patience i miss rain so bad it hurts
@catalina come to toronto. everything is flooding on the same day the city voted down funding on improvements for storm water management
i bet rain boots are impressively cheap there. buy a pair on the cheap there before coming to visit. i'll make pancakes
@patience dang, i don't even know who sells rain boots here
@catalina this sounds like a challenge to accept ;)
@patience i might still have my portland pair somewhere, but they're probably too big and full of spiders
@catalina feet shrink. it's so… tragic these things. i blame the teal pills
::mock expression of putting back of hand to forehead and looking upward::
@patience aaa i forgot about sorel and their ludicrous fashion boots http://www.zappos.com/p/sorel-joan-rain-wedge-black-bright-emerald/product/8803991/color/661381
@catalina those are… industrial
@patience they had an even sillier pair but they must have discontinued them
@patience ooh, purple
it's possible i'll visit toronto in november after a conference in chicago, but probably no sooner
@catalina you would of course be welcomed here in november, but ngl november here is a miserable time to visit the city
@patience is there snow ❄️😻
@catalina sometimes, but not usually very much if it does. it's mostly grey, wet, borderline freezing, raw, really dark, and maybe 2 or 3 days in which the weather is pleasant. it can be a difficult MH month for a lot of people i know, myself included
@catalina snow usually doesn't start dumping here until december, but even that can be a roll of the dice
@patience so is it just cold and windy or
@catalina in november? usually. it can be like scotland, i'm told
@patience perfect remember that's my ancestral home
@patience oh i missed this post
@patience i'm weird in that i love gray and dark
@catalina no wonder you fave my selfies of late: i'm always wearing grey
@catalina actually, i'd gotten the impression that you had been born there and was there for a little while as a sproglet before relocating to where you are today
on the upside, maybe a more cherubic appearance might make me look younger and cuter but let's be real… i doubt that entirely (the whole 'a polished turd may be shiny but it's still a turd')
