I was getting migraines over the past few days and had to stop and just try to sleep as much as I could, because I'm a goofus who keeps forgetting to sleep enough for weeks on end. Sigh. So, another day of rest and I think I'll be functional again; then I'll just have to get serious about getting to sleep at night, something I have thus far failed to do for any significant period of time. ... This time I'll really try! Sigh. 'p' I gotta get better at this.
