Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for September 23, 2022

been there, done that

There are times I fall asleep mid-sente……

I have chronic insomnia, so sleep is unpredictable.

For me, there’s no trouble GETTING to sleep, it’s a problem STAYING asleep. No more, a full eight hours uninterrupted sleep!

Don’t worry, I’m sure you will eventually get the knack of sleep-texting.

Don’t blink, Aunty!

I am a technology troglodyte. I do have a smart phone. There are only three people I ever call on it: my wife, my sister and my cousin. Otherwise it is a machine I use to get codes so I can continue with whatever I am doing on the computer every other keystroke and get messages about appointments.

On the rare occasions, I get text messages from people. They know me and are not upset when I don’t answer them immediately.

She says that as if it were a bad thing.

The only thing I can do fast is fall asleep.

I have trouble falling asleep. Sometimes my head even hits the pillow before I fall asleep.

I have never sent a text and don’t read anything that comes to my phone.

At least until the Reply Noise wakes you up… ☺

I wish my wife’s friends wouldn’t send her texts after 9:30 when I hit the hay.

Sleep isn’t do easy, much of the time, after menopause.

It’s not your age, it’s the wine.

Is that AM or PM Auntie?

At my age, I can’t sleep.

i have a sense of major accomplishment whatever hour of the day i’m able to send a text (in english or especially in japanese)…

Send a text that fast! Wow!
