Deeper into sleep debt...

...since beloved spouse had to get up around 3:30 to get ready for the 4:30 airport shuttle pickup. I lay there listening to him getting things together, then heard the door shut. Back to sleep until about 8:30, and I am another level down from deprivation.
Still, we managed a long walk, and I ran down to the Nautilus in a semi-conscious daze; actually might be better that way, not so aware of any sore spots. Cool and breezy day, lovely blue spots amongst the clouds: "partly sunny."
Not much of a day, other than getting a bit more read in The Gold Bug Variations. It's alternately engaging and maddening. The word play is sometimes ridiculously corny. One bit that sticks: The narrator said something about having someone "over a barrel organ." Duh, ya think this book might have a big musical theme running through it? That the reader might ever hope to escape that for two seconds?
Aw, who's a bitch here. Off to sleep.
