eyelids propped up with toothpicks

The problem with a houseguest (or sister) who loves your town and does not have to get up early in the morning for work is that you spend their entire visit exhausted. And then they leave, and you are staring mindlessly at the wall, too tired even to get into bed.

I can't keep my eyes open. Which I guess means that I should be in bed instead of on the computer. Yes. Good plan. I'm going.
