At least yesterday's walking coma seems to have lifted. And notwithstanding sleeping on a couch, I slept pretty well. When did I start waking up so early? I was wide awake and out of bed by 7:30. Of course, I could probably go back to sleep right now.
Emmy joined me on the couch for sleep sessions, again very sweet. Here she is fighting the heat. All is grace.
