hello again, 5 AM

[deadlightsgirl]

 That's roughly when Gracie got up, maybe a bit before.  Big drag, though not as bad as it could have been - I was up at 3 with need to take more painkillers, so by the time kiddo was up and squawking, the fever had broken and the muscle pain had subsided a bit.  She'll sleep on the bus, and now it is just the waiting game for me, minding her til the bus comes, and then I can hit the sheets again.  I will take anticipatory soma at around 7:30, so by the time it kicks in, she will be on the bus and I will zonk posthaste.  So like I say, not TOO bad.  One day maybe we can go back to Rob spending shot night here so I can maybe sleep better.  I've been managing on my own, but it's still hard.
