Sleeplessness

[intertext]

For one reason and another, I seem to have been operating on an average of about 4 hours sleep per night for the last week or so. Mostly, it's pain. I don't sleep for more than a couple of hours before my blasted hip wakes me up. Then, last night, when I was exhausted and sleeping quite soundly, Robinson woke me at about 2:30 am with his barking. And then again at about 3:00. Grrr. Of course, I woke up heart pounding, wondering if someone was breaking in... But although I looked surreptitiously out the windows, I saw nothing. I had a pile of stuff from the basement waiting on my driveway to be picked up this morning by a rubbish hauling company - maybe someone was out there riffling through to see if there was anything interesting. I didn't notice anything missing this morning (wouldn't have minded if there was - something less to pay for having removed!), but that doesn't mean that there wasn't someone there last night... I'm very very tired now, feeling kind of buzzed and wired as you do when you haven't slept enough. Went out this afternoon, though, and shopped for my trip, so my hip is aching again. And I heard today that I won't have my surgery until August. Bleah.

However, I'm so READY for my trip. All I have to do now is pack, and drop the animals off at their respective hostelries, then I'll be free, and able to relax and not worry about anything for two weeks at least.

Sleep deprivation s***s dirty gym socks. Gah. So sorry to hear the surgery's been delayed. Meanwhile, any chance you can get something a wee bit stronger for the pain, so you can get a night or two's sleep between now and August??

You have to wait till August? That's a real bummer.

Would you be interested in doing lunch, Thursday or Friday? (All my plans for the week depend a bit on getting back into work and seeing if dear colleagues have set me up for anything, but these should be clear.)

I suspect plans are still afoot, but since you mention off-list contact, I thought I'd write to make sure. From comments, you're organizing something for Saturday? Hopefully it'll be daytime, especially if one person is coming from Canterbury for it.

Except for Thursday late afternoon/evening and Saturday evening, my schedule is quite free at the moment.
