(no subject)

I got woken up during the wee small hours by some type of music, but then it got turned off so I got back to sleep. But it came back at 5am, just 20 minutes before I had to get up, anyway. I lay there and listened to it until my alarm went off, and then put on my clothes and went in search of it. Second floor, apparently right above our living room, which puts it most likely in the office of the second floor unit, where the computer is. And computer game music fits with the hurdy-gurdy sound of it from the hall. Why the fuck this kid can't wear a headset I don't know. I hope I was the person most annoyed.

Of course now he's stopped - probably finally decided to sleep - so maybe I'll be able to go back to bed for another hour or something, but I'd like to accomplish a little something today and not sleep my morning away. OTOH, yesterday I was a cranky-butt because I haven't had enough sleep thus far this week, and I had to 'teach' people (run a little reminder class about stretching and keeping the back safe and not sticking your fingers in the machines). Phoebe was kind enough to get me involved in teaching this stuff, and it looks good to have that in my job experience, so I should have restrained my crabbiness. I just couldn't seem to. She put up with it very sweetly, she's the best.

Okay, I'm just going to curl back up and get warm and see if I sleep a little more. Maybe it will sweeten my temper.

epologue to the strange music

Apparently the guy (not the kid, who is the guy's girlfriend's) upstairs has a Mac which decided to take initiative at 4:30 this morning. It brought up iTunes and started a random shuffle for no apparent reason. He sent email, apologizing, around 8:20. :)

I was not actually able to get more solid sleep, but sort of drifted in and out. I couldn't get warm without Eor. Probably I should have walked in the treadmill for a few minutes to warm up before trying to sleep, I don't know. I'll keep that in mind for next time. But I got a hot bath, cleared some papers off my desk, got the laundry dried and put away - I felt like the morning was not a total loss. Also read Chapter 12 of random-nexus's 'Holmesian Dream Fic,' "Missing". (and yes, that is a link to CH 12, but she links all previous chapters at the top.) I'm liking that a lot!

Even after I got to work, though, I was really dragging. I'd had a pot of tea, but it took a double-shot latte to set me up so that I could work properly. After that I finally got my stride. I don't know, it's not like I missed out on that much sleep. I think tomorrow I'll try to just go with the treadmill and not attempt to sleep more. But I'm NOT quitting caffeine any time soon!
