Last night my fitful sleep was disturbed by the squealing of the AC fans as it abruptly shut off, then I heard an odd beeping. Julia knew what it was, the UPS box trying to keep our computer powered. It couldn't manage it, but maybe it eased the shut off.

I couldn't sleep after that. My legs were restless, and I thrashed. Worried my thrashing was keeping Julia awake, I moved to the sofa, where I finally fell asleep briefly. I would have gone for a walk this morning, which would bring ease to the restless legs, but I was too sleepy to rouse early enough.

It's too damn hot. Yesterday it was 112F degrees. I feel rather trapped in our small cave. I just hope the electricity (and the AC) doesn't go off in the middle of the day...
