Terrible night. Woke up…

Terrible night. Woke up at 4:30 with nightmares, couldn't go back to sleep. No fun at all. Eventually gave up trying, got up and watched some tv. It's now late enough that I'm willing to just start working, but I'm still feeling thoroughly sorry for myself. So I opened one of my Karina-presents, a little early -- it's one of the nicest things about people who prefer to send a bunch of little presents rather than one biggish present -- you can open one early, and still have plenty left for your actual birthday. This one was a lovely hair-clip of New Zealand jade; it's so pretty. I'm wearing it now, and it's cheering me up already, even though I can't see it anymore. :-)
