Tag: sleep madness

I know that this hasn’t been a fun blog, today. Sorry. There’s something deeply unsettling about having the word ‘neurological’ show up out of the blue during what you thought was a routine eye exam, even if it turns out to be a low-probability event. I need to flip laundry and go to sleep.

I’ve been having a little trouble with double vision in the morning, and when I went to go get glasses, the eye doctor insisted I get that checked out with meaningful but not panicky speed. Fortunately, there’s a place just down the road that can do tests today. After looking up everything, I’m pretty sure it’s not diabetes (would have shown up in the retinal pictures), multiple sclerosis (no other symptoms), an aneurysm (ditto), or a stroke (either my wife or I would have noticed that). It’s almost certainly because I go to bed too late and get up too early*, but best to check it out anyway.

*I mean, I’m yawning as I write this. I was proud of myself because I got just over six hours last night, for once. Guess who’s going to no longer hear the chimes of midnight, dammit?

I was tossing and turning all night, and had to crash at 10 AM to try and get more sleep. I actually did get some, but I’m still vaguely slow and stupid. I might try to get some more sleep, in fact.

So if I sound weirder than usual, that’s why.

Slept poorly last night, staggering around today. I need to get some sleep. Buy my books! – And somebody remind me tomorrow that I had a question I wanted to ask.

Dunno why I keep staying up too late, but I’m getting too old for that.  I’ll say this, though: it made that strange hallucinatory episode in Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag last night truly freaking surreal.

I must get some, because everything is very fuzzy right now.

Good night.
