Sleepless nights are not my friend

mousme I have tried starting this post three times already and gotten distracted each time. I had the shittiest night of sleep in a very long time last night. I tried getting Peggy to sleep with me, and went to bed at the very reasonable time of 9:15. I awoke at 10:30 to her absolutely shredding the nice reading pillow KK gave me last month, so I put her in her new crate because it was either that or stay up all night to make sure she didn't destroy anything else.
As it turned out, I was up most of the night anyway, because Peggy did NOT want to be in the new crate. I don't know if it was because the crate was new (it's made mostly of hard plastic and so you can only see through the door and not the sides), or a bit smaller than her regular crate, or because she knew I was right there and wanted to be with me, or a combination of some or all of the above, but she kicked up the loudest fuss all. night. long. She whined and whimpered and barked and howled, and then she'd go quiet for 20-40 minutes before starting up again. So technically I did get some sleep, but in very short, unsatisfying bursts.
Conclusion: I am tired.
So I am going to bed. *falls over*
