ReplyDeleteI had that glitch last week on San Juan Capistrano.
It is the strange sleeping habit I have at the moment. I hope it gets better soon and I can make it through you contest without me feeling bad for not being able to compete.
You're not allowed to feel bad on my blog! You came, you saw, you participated. Which means you conquered. Sleep problems are rough. Hope it gets better soon.
