I blame this on daylight savings time, which had helped me in the short term by shortening the rainy Sunday Gracie was stuck inside with no nap for, but hoo boy does this suck. Even though I went back to bed yesterday once she got on the bus (and I will do likewise today, because no sleep would be BAD for the ol'MS) the 3-hour nap messes up my sleep schedule and last night I couldn't fell asleep til close to 1, and I'm afraid to do without the nap. It is supposed to be nice today, thank god, and I will take her on a great big walk and to the playground and do everything possible to tire her out so that shot night tonight isn't completely horrible due to her/my not sleeping. I'm afraid to take Ambien when it is just the two of us in the house. At least she is awake and cheerful, not awake and crotchety, which is something. The other drag about yesterday was that even though I did take a very helpful nap, I woke from it with a headache which migrated into Migraine Land and I didn't manage to get rid of til evening, and that with the aid of the ick-feeling migraine drugs. They don't make me woozy or anything, my system just doesn't like them, but they do the job. For today's nap I will fire up the humidifier for the hour previous - can't let it run while I sleep, can't sleep through it.
I have been having IA DTs since the movie Sunday...I really miss dressing up and entertaining children. I'm good at it. I do however, also know that I would be over it after 20 minutes in a court dress, and anyway playing royalty is more fun if you can be haughty royalty as opposed to I-love-everyone royalty. Plus I'd want to fight, and it's just not possible with the kiddo just now...I will simply sigh and remember that one Good Old Day where Cloisters not only let me play Jenny Wren, but my ground fight partner was Captain Jack Sparrow. Can't beat that, even if it was Cloisters. Ah, my mostly-unrequited Robin Hood fantasies.
