Zzzzzz

I'm feeling particularly antagonistic lately, even less tolerant of intolerance and sympathetic to stupidity than I usually am. Which is really saying something.
Part of it's simple exhaustion. Eva's at her parents, back tomorrow morning, and I do not sleep well at all when she's not around. It's funny, because what with a king size bed and two dogs, it's not as if we're cuddling all night every night or anything. But obviously I'm aware when she's there...and when she's not. 
I got to sleep about 12:30 last night, despite being in bed by 9. And it was a thin sleep, populated by shapeless demons and voiceless screams. I woke up several times, finally rolling out of bed (it turned out) two minutes before my alarm was set to go off. Eva and I refer to that sort of sleep as a "blink". Shit, I'm not sure I winked.
There's a hockey game on right now and I really doubt I'm going to make the third period...

That's not antagonistic, that's sanity!

Tolerance and sympathy for stupidity is a bad habit.

Lose it! Lately you're making great progress!

It is wierd that when the wife is not home or out late with her friends, it is very hard to fall asleep. We are such creatures of habit.

I gots no problems sleeping in almost any instance, partner or sans partner. The only place I usually can't sleep is when I'm in a hotel. I hate it. Sleeping in a bed that thousands of others have slept is doesn't sit well with me. Plus all those strange sounds.
