mmm... dinner
not the most productive day
mostly iced my stings, did laundry and food shopping.
took a benadryl because my hand is driving me crazy. Now I have an urge to rearrange furniture...
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Anyone else find it hard to get to sleep in a different place than usual?
Always. It's widespread enough that there's been a theory floated that that's a hardwired response that's related to, shoot, something to do with REM cycles? Dammit, interesting factoid just out of reach. That's going to drive me crazy.
Yay for dinner plans, omnis.
Eta: I assumed your follow-up.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Compassionately intolerant
Oh god. I scarcely ever sleep ANYwhere but in my own bed. The list of rituals and requirements is vast and concrete. It has always been thus and makes me envious of nothing else in this life, except for people who can sleep on demand.
A brief sample: head must be at north, must have 3 pillows, on of which must be paper thin, must wear earplugs (Mack's wax...there is no other brand. If they ever go out of business, I doubt I'll survive it.)

I assumed GGG was involved.
I am always amazed when I sleep somewhere else. Really tired or drugs

Hah! It's a very good thing I have no trouble sleeping wherever. As long as I am not sitting up. Can't sleep in cars/airplanes, due to the sitting up thing.

Predation risk! Less REM and less deep sleep in novel environments. The theory is that people who get night terrors are extra sensitive to the cues of predation risk.
If we were like dolphins and only half of our brain went to sleep at a time it would be less of a problem.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yay for dinner plans, omnis.
Is there any way to convince my mom that my vacation will not be ruined if I eat a salad? We keep having this same conversation. She asks me what I can eat at some restaurant. I reply, "Oh, they've got a really good salad." (And they do -- spinach with candied walnuts and onions and tomatoes and lots of other good stuff.) And she replies, "No, I want you to enjoy your vacation."
Honestly? As long as food that I do not have to pay for or clean up after appears in front of me, I will be happy.
