After a very sane-making conversation with an old friend the other night, I've been sleeping better. Fitfully, and I keep launching into consciousness at the slightest sound, but it's more healthy, I'm sure, to wake up five times in the night than to never sleep at all.

I was looking forward to today and going to a nine o'clock lecture without being wiped for the rest of the day.

Of course, just when I was curled up and sleeping healthily, peacefully, at eight in the morning, there was a FUCKING FIRE ALARM.

Gaaaah. *hugs* Will you be at the IR lecture? Will pass on notes if not... xxx

Do you want me to bring anything tonight? Not that I have much, but, y'know, stock, peppers, red onions, that kind of thing...

A red onion would be nice if you see this before coming over, but don't worry if not xxx

Sleep GOOD! Yay, sleep. Fire alarms less so...

The time, when I was a Fresher, when they gave us a 5am fire drill and I spent the next couple of hours handwashing all my clothes because both washing machines had broken - in company with my friend Sarah and to a soundtrack of Meatloaf - is one of my fonder memories of my first year as a student...

Sleep very good indeed. Am hoping for more of it tonight.

And, yuck, 5am! Good to know you had a robust sense of humour about it. :)

I'm glad to hear you've been sleeping better. Do you think earplugs would help, if you're such a light sleeper?

What crap luck about the fire alarm! My best fire alarm story: I dyed my hair red with one of those temporary mousse dyes for the Halloqueen bop in my first year. So I had a foamy orange mass of hair piled on top of my head, and was about to get into the shower when the fire alarm went. I had to go outside in my dressing gown with my hair still like that - very embarrassing!

Earplugs have helped, occasionally. I tend to lose them during the night, though, because I toss and turn so much.

And, urrrrgh, oh, poor you! And your poor hair! I wish I'd seen you with bright orange hair!

Sleep is great, and I'm glad you're at least starting to get some.

Your morning sounds a bit like my morning, except for me it wasn't a fire alarm but rather the cat leaping onto the bed and attacking my bare feet with rabid enthusiasm, causing me to leap three feet in the air screaming. I WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.

*laughs* Better than sex. Sleeeeeeeeep.

And, ah, poor you! That sounds truly traumatic. More so than the fire alarm, because at least the fire alarm is shared agony. *g*
