wah.

Went to bed 9:30ish last night, which is insanely early 'round these parts. The comforter is in the guest room, because it's been so hot and muggy that at the weekend when I did the laundry I just stopped making the bed once the sheets were on it. Which has been fine, except that last night when I went to bed 9:30ish it wasn't long before I was cold. But I was so relieved to be lying down that I couldn't face getting up and going all the way into the next room to get the comforter -- never mind dealing with the thing. There are also blankets in there, which would be less cumbersome to deal with, but again, all the way in the next room. And I was really very comfortable. Except too cold.

These are the kind of dilemmas you face when you're just sick enough to be pathetic, but not actually sick, right?

Eventually I got up and changed the ceiling fan from top speed to top-speed-but-one, which did the trick. But I had to keep one hand on the bed the whole time (30 seconds approx.) I was out of it, to be sure I wouldn't tip over, as my balance was shot.

I slept and slept and slept, more than nine hours, and at one point early this morning my dreams were particularly chaotic, with lots of frantic running around, and then I dreamed I (literally) hit a wall. In the dream I was just lying there, having hit the wall and then, you know, fallen down, and I remember thinking it was kind of shocking how abruptly all the chaos went away but at least I was lying still, which was good -- except I couldn't move, and somehow I became aware that I was lying still in the dream the same way I was lying still in real life, but in real life I had not, in fact, run into a wall, so eventually I could move, and that was all right. Very strange, though.
