in genuine need of a nap

I'm at work and the sort of tired that my eyes cross and I have trouble focusing. Luckily I don't have much to do, but it still seems unlikely that hunting out a comfy chair in a secluded sunny corner would be appropriate.

I woke suddenly at about 11:45 last night and found the stairwell light on. I'm almost sure it was off when I went to bed, but I went around the house and the kids were asleep and the doors locked. My best guess is the switch was 7/8 of the way to on and the cat ran down the stairs and that somehow triggered it. The computer was not asleep, either, and I had put it to sleep, but I think she often wakes it up in the night. I didn't actually see the cat on my rounds, though.

I was then up intermittently between 4:30 (when Dillo required a visit) and getting out of bed at 6. Tonight I have to walk home, pay Ms. G for driving Dillo, retrieve Casper, feed them dinner (pre-made but for the pasta), receive the onslaught of my mother at 7pm if I'm lucky, plan tomorrow, and get the kids to bed, at which point, with any luck, I too can sleep.
