cosmolinguistAndrew went to bed early last night, I got the dog settled down, I didn't even have an alarm set for this morning, I looked forward to lots of delicious sleep.
And then, unusually for me, I couldn't sleep. I'm prone to insomnia, but normally it's the kind where you wake up too early, not the kind where you have trouble going to sleep. I gave up after an hour and a half, went downstairs, started some laundry (thinking that even if I didn't stay awake long enough to hang it up before I went back to bed, it was worth doing), worked on another essay. I actually made really good progress on the nearly-done one and hoped I'd be able to hand it in today.
But then I went to bed after five, woke up before eight... No reason, Andrew and Gary still sleeping peacefully, my brain just decided I was done sleeping.
So today didn't go to plan; we'd wanted to go see Knives Out again (with the commentary!) and that didn't happen, nor did my essay. I even tried to take a nap and couldn't even manage to fall asleep despite how tired I was.
I did however take Gary to get his nails clipped, which as always he hated but as alwaysmother_bones and diffrentcolours have perfected to make it as quick as possible, to minimize the trauma and exhaustion for all concerned. As Gary sulked and hid his feet (he always does this afterwards, as if we'd get the idea to torture him some more if we caught sight of his feet), we humans watched the last two episodes of The Good Place (I'd seen them, but they hadn't) and the first episode of Picard, which we all enjoyed.
I'd been wary of it, as someone for whom TNG was "my" Star Trek and I'd always adored Patrick Stewart in it so it seemed very possible that I'd hate this (even though I now don't think much of TNG either), but for all those reasons I'd wanted to at least try it out and I'll definitely be watching more of it.
Not tonight though; I'm off to bed! Hopefully if I go to sleep early and get up early I can hand in this essay before we go out to play board games in the evening.
