In a Haze

I normally take Garmin's sleep reports with a grain or two of salt, but the last few nights I have gotten less than an hour of deep sleep, and I feel like someone who is not getting a lot of deep sleep. I was a zombie yesterday and went to bed early - early even for me - and this morning I saw I'd gotten over nine hours of sleep ... with about 40 minutes of the deep kind. So, great. I don't know what's changed this week that I'm suddenly doing this but if it continues I'm going to look at starting a magnesium supplement and see if that helps.

The dealer who sold us our tractor has offered a pretty good deal on a winter maintenance job, so we took that in today. They'll replace the filters, change the oil, and do a once-over to check for any problems, make sure nothing is likely to fall off or explode. And they're going to wash it, LOL. We typically hose it off and clean it after using it extensively but that will be nice. I mean, if Fox just drags the road one afternoon we don't bother, but for things like our recent drainage ditch project it needs to have the stinky swamp mud cleaned off.

Feisal is going to be a sad kitty. I'm getting a wireless gaming mouse today. If you plug it in, it will charge, but unplugged it will run for about 60 hours. This has become an issue lately because he's decided the Most Fun Thing Ever is to jump on the desk and try to chew on my mouse cord. The fabric cover is torn and pulled in places because of this. The most recent version of this game is grabbing the cord and trying to take the entire mouse. Now, happily he only does this when I'm gaming or attempting to work, so it's not like he gets up there and chews on it when I'm gone. But it's still annoying as hell and he killed me a few times in Hollow Knight with his shenanigans.

Do any of you crochet or sew or something, or know someone who does? I kind of want a coffee cup sleeve but my sewing skills mainly apply to repairing things and sewing on buttons. In this, Year Two of the Pandemic, our Wawa is still asking that we not bring reusable cups, and I used to always bring my own cups. It's a small thing, but if I could at least not have to get a sleeve for the cup it would make me feel slightly better. I'll probably just find something on Etsy.
