Day 4: Sleep coma and communication problems

I didn't mention it in earlier posts but I haven't been sleeping well. I get transient bouts of insomnia and all of the excitement about Mom and Simone's arrival totally interrupted my sleep cycle, such as it was. So, on Monday I crashed and slept most of the day. Unfortunately there was a problem with the emails I sent to Simone and they didn't arrive until much later in the day. Poor Mom and Simone were worried out of their skulls because I had basically disappeared off the face of the Internet. We didn't sync up properly until the evening. By then they had lost most of the day from waiting around for me. Bah! I hate it when technology fails.
