insomnia

I think I got about five hours' sleep last night. The problem isn't that I'm up and typing at seven, it's that I think I've been mostly awake since about 4:30; I might have dropped off in there for a bit, but I spent a lot of time just lying in bed with my eyes closed.

The night before, I was up for about an hour, reading, and then got back to sleep.

Another silly meme

This one had me going "I did all this in fandom" and "of course spelling, grammar, and organization matter". I got it from rivka.

telephone solicitation

I just got a call from the Yale Alumni Fund. She started by apologizing "for your last name", so I said "it's a perfectly good last name, there's no need for you to apologize." Then she clarified, and I told her she'd done about average on the pronunciation.

I told her I can't afford to donate, and she said "a member of your class has challenged..." I told her that if said member offered me a job, I might reconsider, but until then rent and health insurance are higher priorities. She said something about "only $25", and I explained that that's real money to someone without a job, which she should understand, given what they were paying her. At that point she said she understood, and I said "good night" and hung up.

good people

I have some really good people in my life, people whose judgment I value and who love me.
