Well, SpouseKitty's vision is no longer in danger. It was only her right eye, but she had amblyopia when she was a child. Her right eye is about 90% of her vision. Her left eye adds 'hints' but can't compensate if she had lost her right eye.

The downside is, since a week ago Monday, she's had to get up every hour at first, now every two hours to put drops in her eye. First night, her folks and I switched off. After that, she learned to put the drops in herself, so we could sleep.

Last night, I forgot my earplugs. Went to sleep after her 10PM drop, woke up at midnight, ready to ... oh, okay. Fell back asleep after helping her reset her cell phone alarm. Woke up at two, reset her alarm, then ... laid there. For an hour.

At 3AM, I decided to break out the heavy artillery: technical books. I read up on PowerShell, a new way to write -- hey, why is everyone snoozing? I wish I was, too.

Heck, even thinking about it while writing this makessss

Regardless, it took me 30 minutes of reading before I finally went back to sleep, this time with earplugs. I still heard the 4AM alarm, but not so loud I reacted. It was one of those "Oh, that's what it is" sorts of thing.

Woke up at 6, which is where I am now.

Yesterday wasn't much better. Worked until 7PM, headed home, tried to be social with family, parked behind the 'puter, and struggled with Sian. Apologies for not missing it (again.) It's not you, it's me. Just tired, unsure what to do with it next. I can't seem to hear the characters as well as I used to be able to.

I just wish I could get more sleep.
