the answer to the sleep question was no

 i slept horribly last night, and the majority of my day was pretty rough as a result. i did write that article, and i am pleased with it, but i think i finally felt ready to crash around 2/3am and even then i was just too uncomfortable and restless...

the day began with an alarm to remind us that we needed to take mr smear to the therapist in the morning this week, so it was a bit of a scramble to get everyone up and out on time. gd and i sat down for coffee on unbelievably uncomfortable chairs, and my back was sore by the time i joined our team's daily meeting.

i had a chat with another potential employer this morning, i don't think it went so well...

getting home was a bit of a story due to traffic and construction, and once i was home i really began to struggle with the tiredness.

like, really struggle.

and my lower back and legs were sore, too.

i was a bit of a mess.

my situation seemed to improve just about the time i needed to take mr smear to his jiujitsu class, and once there i managed to get a fair amount of work done. in spite of the fact that the usual instructor wasn't there and the kid who took over didn't have complete control over mr smear and his little motormouth friend :P

i continued to work once we got home, and managed to achieve a milestone just in time for dinner. we're rewatching gravity falls, which we all enjoy. bedtime was pretty smooth, and we're still going strong with wind in the willows :)

i went to bed shortly afterwards, then work up a couple of hours ago. i've primarily been occupied with trying to get a python lambda function working with layers, but i'm struggling inexplicably with dependencies and i'm hoping to be done before i eventually, finally feel ready to go to bed.

we have a busy morning this morning. back to school and a bunch of errands. whoo!
