Sleeping Problems

juldeaHere is a prime example of my odd sleeping patterns:
I was rather tired last night. When I got home from work I sat down in my recliner with Matrix and almost fell asleep right there - but I knew I had some work to do, so I got up and putzed around (learned linear transformations, tried on clothes (more about that in a bit), read some philosophy). By 10:30 I was in bed and fell asleep almost immediately. At 11:30 I was awakened from a dream by the phone ringing. I'm not sure what I was dreaming, but it was either very scary or very important that I answer the phone, and my heart was beating superfast. The phone was a wrong number, but still I had to lie in bed for about 15 minutes before my heart rate slowed down to normal. Then - nothing. I was still tired, but I tossed and turned and couldn't get back to bed. I tried sleeping under the sheets (too warm), over the sheets (too cold), in the living room (not enough movement in the chair), in my bed under the sheets with a fan pointed at me -- just right, but I still couldn't go to sleep. I read more philosophy. Finally I just stuck my head between two bars of my headboard and didn't let myself move anywhere and tried to sleep. The last time on the clock I remember seeing was 1:00am. I spent an hour and a half trying to sleep. *sigh* And I was SO TIRED.
I did manage to wake up on time though (7:30am). Was tired, but able to get up and exercise and everything.
As of last night, 6 pairs of pants have been recalled out of retirement (a box under my bed) and placed back into active duty as wearable pants for Julia. Alas, this means that soon many a noble pair of pants will themselves lay down their weapons and relax into their own years of retirement. Also, happier, this means that as soon as I get smaller than THESE pants, I will be smaller than I've been since, um, high school? Woo!
Oh, and I have a pair of capri's now. Turns out I can fit into some of these pairs from high school, but I've grown taller since then. ;) So it was either weird cutoff highwaters or cut 'em off a bit further up and have capris! We'll see how this looks.
