I couldn’t sleep until like 8am this morning, but I did photoshop our cats Oreo and Theodosia onto Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam, so there’s that at least.

One of my mom’s gen 1 HomePods died, but I found a guy online who specializes in fixing them, replacing the faulty diodes with good ones that should permanently fix the issue, and replacing a few other prone to failure parts. It arrived back, and man I forgot how good they sound. Apple definitley overengineered these things. Gonna be sad giving it back to my mom, haha.

I have HomePod minis, which are nice, but not the same. And apparently gen 2 full HomePods don’t have faulty parts, but also don’t sound as good as gen 1

I’ve had Runaway Ricochet’s Diminishing Returns album on repeat for weeks, I’m unsure whether it’s helping or feeding the depression. runawayricochet.bandcamp.com/album/dim…

I am so tired I want to cry, and I still can’t fall asleep. I wasn’t able to sleep at all Sunday night, got almost no sleep last night, and tonight I still can’t fall asleep. With the narcolepsy, my sleep architecture is messed up, meaning even when I do sleep, I still only get a fraction of the rest and restorative benefits a healthy person does. On the rare good day when I’ve actually slept a decent amount (ideally at least 9-10+ hours), I’m still really sleep deprived and my brain has trouble fully functioning. And while I usually don’t get that much sleep, it’s so much worse right now and keeps compounding. I hate this so much, it’s miserable, so I’m just shouting into the void.

Ordered tickets for (the day after) Valentine’s Day! Caitlin has been really into slime videos recently, so I’m taking her to the Sloomoo Institute plus kitchen tour. I also got her a ticket for where they drop slime on you; I’m not interested in that part, plus it’s not cheap, so I’ll just watch.
