The sink still leaks but not that much. Either the Lexel® is too old, or the source of the leak extends beyond my reach. I'll stop at the Ace on Roanoke Island on Thursday en route to Emerald Isle to buy more Lexel®.

​A week ago, I made the decision to stop listening to the BBC Radio when I go to bed. It stands to reason that it was interfering with my sleep because it was on all night. I picked up the habit within the last three years when I would wake up in the middle of the night and remain awake for two to three hours. I figured that perhaps twenty minutes of BBC programming would exhaust me, and I then would return to sleep. I was wrong. "Hardtalk" is intellectual mixed martial arts, and therefore a form of torture to someone who is already psychotic from sleep deprivation. So, I learned the "hard" way to avoid the BBC at four in the morning. I am now "radio silent" until at least five in the morning. I am sleeping better. It stands to reason...like I said.
