It's gonna be a long night

Every so often, I need to be stupid just to prove I can do it. Today seems to be that day.

I was able to sleep in a bit, as my hair appointment wasn't until nine. After that, I picked up some breakfast, watched an episode or two of MI-5...and then, for no discernible reason, decided to take a "nap". It was supposed to be less than an hour, but the bed, with the fan blowing directly across it, is one of the coolest places in the house.

When all was said and done, I 'd reset the alarm enough that I didn't finish "napping" until just before four p.m. The chances of my being able to sleep much tonight just took a nosedive.

The tentative plan for dealing with the stupidity is to spend a while catching up on housekeeping chores before going out to someplace cool to read and journal. The very good news is that as of last week, the neighborhood McDonald's became 24-hour, both for the drive-through and the lobby. So they won't have to kick me out when I'm lost in the middle of a book (I'm looking at you, Panera). If I stay long enough, it may just be cool enough at home to be able to sleep well, forestalling the need to nap on Sunday, which would perpetuate the stupidity.

Good thing this doesn't happen that often.
