Wednesday Sleepies

October 21, 2026

I think I slept around 17 of the last 24 hours, and I'm still tired though it was definitely a restful, deep sleep. I should have seen it coming. I do this every year when my UV intake goes up. Yet every year it takes me by surprise.

I have vague in and out impressions. There were dreams and there was hives. There was trying to do some paperwork and reading, but I just kept waking up hoping I didn't hit the wrong button. Inevitably, I gave up.

I've been awake constantly for around six hours now, and I can feel myself beginning to get pulled back under. I really need to do some more research as the sun did not always kick my ass so badly. Then again, I've always been more of the nocturnal persuasion.

I should probably just allow my body to sleep and do its healing thing before I break out into hives again. I have placed myself on a UV acclimation schedule. I am determined not to get annoyed with myself if this means much more sleeping for the next few weeks. I jokingly say that it's just balancing out all the insomnia, but I know that isn't the case. Luckily, anyone I normally communicate with knows that if I'm having sun time to expect me to crash out for a while. The burning/itching is no joke. If I have to cut my nails off again I will get annoyed.

I think that's all I have for the day. Let's see... Politics = grrrrrrr! “Humanitarian” is on equal grounds with “humane”. As in, “Look at all the thoughtless humans creating egocentric words to make themselves feel better about what rotten creatures they are.” Please stop showing MAGA thoughts on the news. They make my brain hurt. Literally. That's really all I have off the top of my head.

Nope. Must end on a positive. Let's see... I've been enjoying learning about the variety of planets being discovered. There's a “True Facts” episode out that I've not watched yet. And I'm proud of myself for...for...for...hehehe for remembering to put clothes on before opening the door to get my package in my sleepy stupor. I almost didn't. My hand was on the doorknob when I remembered my neighbor's doorcam and decided to finger-comb my hair. One point for vanity keeping my nudes from going wherever such photos go.😸

Too tired to proof.
