It's the middle of the night, so I'm rambling

Just up in the middle of the night, watching a documentary on science fiction tv in the sixties. WHO AM I????

Gabe's new emotion that he's exploring is outrage. He is quite good at it. He can do it with one word: "WHAT?!" I wish I could convey it in print the way he says it. His facial expression of incredulity, his tone. He just used it the other day when we were eating lunch as a family it Chili's. He told me which dessert he wanted, and I replied with, "I'm sorry, baby, we aren't getting dessert today." "WHAT?!" He had his hands thrown up, he was looking at me like he was about to say, "The hell you say!" Apparently, he got used to vacation dining which always included dessert.

Now, he uses it all the time. If the sisters say they don't want to play Hot Wheels, "WHAT?!" If we don't have any more Cinnamon Toast Crunch, if I say no more tv, if he isn't chosen to say the prayer. His face says, "You gotta be friggin' kidding me!" as he exclaims. I laugh every time, which causes him chagrin.

Does anyone else get super-itchy at night when they get sleepy? Or know what causes it?

Welp, that's it. I am sleepy enough for bed, and the Star Trek saga has lost its hold on me. Incidentally, William Shatner was 3rd choice for Captain Kirk.

I feel itchy every single night before I go to sleep which is why I take a shower every single night. It helps me talk myself through the itching. "No, it's not cuz you're dirty, you just took a shower." It helps.
