Caution: Disjointed rant ahead
So when I still couldn't wake up this morning (which might have something to do with the fact that I had to drop Brian off at the heliport at 6:10 AM), I decided to more or less abandon the high road and get myself a frelling mocha, already. Consequently, I'm having a much better time of it this morning, although I'm still not 100% here.
I'm not sure why I've been so sleepy the past couple days. It's not like I've been going to bed any later than normal. Some of it is probably Jerry Brown yowling on and off until past midnight. Fortunately he seems (keeping fingers crossed) to have gotten the idea that we're not taking him out again, as this morning he only yowled a couple of times before settling down. I think a large part of it may also have been the heat; it's been pretty warm in the house the last couple of days, and given that big fluffy double-layered fur coat he wears all the time I can't blame him for being uncomfortable. He did quiet down last night after I opened the window to let some cool air in; unfortunately, that inevitably ends up in either his clawing at the screen to try and get out, or the two cats fighting over who gets to sit in the windowsill. So that didn't last too long, either.
It probably didn't help that last night I was in a really foul mood, too. I'm not sure what it was - I don't have any particular reason to be frustrated, but there were an awful lot of little things to be frustrated about. Jerry Brown's incessant yowling, of course; the ruination of Brian's and my plans for the evening due to his being out fixing the J&W network until 10:45; the fact that I was incredibly tired and sleepy but couldn't seem to get to sleep, which only made me more frustrated, which only made it harder to sleep; etc. I think by the time I finally dropped off it was past midnight. Which probably has something to do with how sleepy I am this morning.
Here's hoping that today is a somewhat better day. I'm starting to look at cheerfulness as a state of mind that once existed for me long ago, but has receded into the depths of time and is now nothing but a faded memory pressed between the pages of an old book...
