My scale briefly forgot which direction we were going

Three years on this forum, about two on meds, and the scale can still surprise me. Last week was a normal-ish Thursday: two dog walks, poor sleep, takeout ramen. Friday I was up 2.6 lbs. Saturday up another 0.4. Sunday I was down 3.2 and below where I'd started. Same food plan, same movement, no wild changes. My 10-day average barely twitched. I didn't panic, mostly because I've read enough here to expect water and digestion to do their own thing, but it was a strange little round trip to watch. The part that gets me is how convincing the high number feels in the moment, even when I know the trend is boring. Anyone else get these short detours after one salty meal, or is sleep usually the bigger culprit for you?
