bed bugs

well poo, is what i say this morning. i think i slept from about 11:30 last night to about 12:30 this morning. i simply could not get comfortable in bed. i would find a position that seemed okay and relax into it, but before i was able to drop off i would get an itch or something.

sometimes i wish that my limbs were detachable, especially my arms. they just get in the way when i'm trying to sleep, and i don't know where to put them. i don't know if it's me or the mattress or what. kara slept quite poorly last night as well.

all the same, trouper that i am, i'm trying to get some fiction writing in before work. at about four i figured i might as well get up, as i wasn't sleeping anyway. i confess i've been fairly lax about writing this month, and am only about 1200 words into my story. this'll be a short one, perhaps only 5000 or 7000 words. maybe february's will be longer.
