I didn’t oversleep this morning, even though I did wake up in the middle of the night to discover that the lamp on my desk was still on. Or rather, back on, since I’m convinced I turned it off before I went to bed. It lights up the entire room, so I sort of have to turn it off, and I didn’t fall asleep in my clothes or anything. So either I’m mistaken, or I turned it on myself while I was still sleeping. I was having a lot of strange dreams about burglars and securing the house, I think thanks in part to the helicopter that circled the neighborhood for about an hour yesterday evening — and still no word on what that was about — and I guess people have done weirder things when they’re asleep.
It’s either that or we have ghosts.
Otherwise, the day was pretty much indistinguishable from yesterday.
