The drugs helped a lot, actually...

Well, it's an all-time first, lordies and gentwomen: Nik has fallen asleep in his bed, rather than being transported there in a sleeping state from somewhere else. And all it took was two rounds of milk, a dose of Zyrtec, a Mother Goose DVD, and a little under two hours. And as a result, I am now the only person awake in the whole house. I wish this aspect of it surprised me.
