SO, ask and ye shall receive...sort of. Nahanni kept up her part of this bargain - I asked for her to sleep and I'm telling you, she did the very next night and has since, sleeping right to 6 am - which is a vast and wondrous improvement. The only problem was that I continued to be up in the night for hours - it was maddening. But, finally, through the fog, I woke up yesterday and realized I'd slept til 5:48, and I can tell you, it was the first time I have ever been elated to be awake at 5:48. It was like being a new person (but for being sick on top of insomniac) and I realized how long it has been since I slept 8 hours at a stretch. Too long, my friends, far too long. Thank god I have such an amazing kid -- just ask her for something and she seems quite able to give it.
That's it for now, nothing scintillating, I admit, just a little update. More after x-mas, which has managed to grab hold of me despite all my ranting about consumerism and my decade long resistance to it on principal. I guess it's true, things do change when you have kids...
