insomniac errors

"ugh," thinks I, at sometime after midnight last night, "I can't sleep, I've done the thing where I lay down so now I'm not tired any more, how about... I play a tedious phone game for a bit and see if THAT bores me enough that I can go to sleep?"

I play two levels of I ♥ Hue. I end up slightly over the global average number of moves for each and decide I'm not going back to "fix" this while it's dark and I've got my screen colour-temperature adjusted and so on and so forth.

ugh, I think again, and go idly rummaging around the library ebook app.

... A Queer and Pleasant Danger, which has been actively on my list of things to Acquire and Read for almost a decade at this point, is available for immediate loan.

... which is how I ended up, two hours later, a quarter of the way into Auntie Kate's memoir, before finally putting things back down and having another go at sleep.

... okay if I'd known I wasn't the only one up at ridiculous hours of the night (1:30 t0 5:00 or so) I would have postponed baby dev walk until the weekend. <3 <3

Ending up over the global average in Hue sounds frustrating! But yes having the screen colors mooshed and the brightness down... yes. That makes things Hard.

Yay for good reading material, at least, even if that ate sleep hours oops ;)

Ohhhhh that feel.

At least it was good reading.

Hue! My comforting friend! I recently discovered that while paying attention to lengthy talking in the video meetings is hard, playing Hue on my phone at the same time helps listening.

Also I didn't learn pain management when younger, but now learning that Hue is good while in pain.
