tough night but better morning

whoa.

TIL that sleeping on one's back is ideal, but for me practically impossible. the next best is sleeping on one's side... but one has to alternate sides or one may develop an asymmetry. which i clearly have. at least now i know.

i tried to go to bed at a reasonable hour, but got sent down a rabbit-hole of facebook stalking when i realized that a friend of mine's once best friend has been dating his ex-girlfriend for years. this wouldn't be dramatic if it wasn't for the fact that their initial fallout was over a girlfriend that had left my friend for his once best friend, married him, and publicly sent him what appeared to be a loving message on facebook days before he started dating the (new?) ex-girlfriend. i'm sure everyone's alright and happy now, but damn, i find that really weird.

after that time-suck, i tried to go to bed, but my back wasn't having any of it. it took about half an hour for me to get up to stretch / destroy bloons until my system gave up resisting a rest, which took about an hour, and the next thing i remember is waking up so i guess it's all okay now. i'm definitely feeling much better, though still a bit weak, and i've just started on my first cup of tea since tuesday morning.

i'm slowly but surely getting into my day, giving notice last night actually took a great weight off my shoulders even if nobody's responded yet.

first thought for the day: it's been almost three years since anybody cared if i wore pants to work.

second thought for the day: i'm done with bloons adventure time. i didn't acquire all the items, and i'm not paying $12 to unlock the special characters, let alone $30 for three. but $6 on an adventure pack was a fair donation in my book, it's a brilliant tower defense game that's given me meditative space (okay, and stolen a little sleep) for more than three months!
