My biggest problem is that I want to fall asleep at 5 am, but I actually need to get up at 5 am. Which leads to crazy sleeping- after a vacation I have 1 day of no sleep at all, followed by a day where I fall asleep as soon as I get home, and then am awake in the middle of the night, then asleep when I need to get up, followed by a night where I fall asleep at 8 pm and am up at 3 am, followed by a "normal" night of sleep.

Sophia, that is a crazy story.

I am still home sick. This is really, really bad timing because today we are starting a "race the demo" project. My supvr took the crew out there, and none of them have ever seen the project before, and two of my stronger members are still on other crews . Bleccch. And I had to cancel some other stuff, which pissed off some people.

It's nice to be important, I guess?

I am attempting oatmeal with a splash of half and half and a wee bit of brown sugar. Wish me luck.

Oh smonster, the ick stomach is the worst. Being important is awesome until The Sick happens.

I am up earlier than I'd like. I have 4 more days of vacation then a sick day. During this week, I've been to a doctor's office 3 times (once for me, once for Noah and once for Grace). Also my doc finally (FINALLY) prescribed high blood pressure meds. It's been at 150/95 for about 3 years, give or take. Der.

All condolences to your friend, ita.

I overslept just a little, and technically I could still leave on time, but I have the feeling I may be a little late, because I need more time for the coffee to work.

I still have my stupid head cold, so I'm working from home today. No one at the office needs to listen to me and my phlegm symphony.

ita !, I am so sorry for you and your friend. Peace and strength to the both of you.

Sophia, I know you've been toying around with the idea of buying a car. At least for me, this last situation would have pushed me over the edge. Time and aggravation are also money.

smonster and Calli, I hope you feel better soon.

Kat, so what you're saying is that this week hasn't really felt like a vacation, right? Glad you finally got HBP meds.

Perkins, the coffee has had hours to work on me, and I don't think it has. I've misdialed phone numbers three times this morning.

Glad you finally got HBP meds.

Please someone tell me I'm not the only one who read this as "Half-Blood Prince meds"

I've been up for an hour, but no coffee yet. I need my coffee STAT.

Last night was sleep torture. Isaac showed up and tried to get in our bed starting around 12:30. Was turned away 5 times. Cody finally went and lay down with him until he fell asleep, then came back to bed. THEN Franny shows up at 2:30 to try and get in bed with us, and I turn her away. 3 times. So I go lie down with her for a bit and come back to bed. But then I can't fall asleep, so I get up to get another melatonin and Franny gets out of bed to follow me back to my room and ask me to lie with her again, which I do. Then I go back to bed, fall asleep, only to awakened by BOTH kids angling to get into our bed. It's now 4 am of course, so I give up, let them in and move to Isaac's bed. Oy!

Hey, the Half Blood Prince can mix me up a potion any time he wants.
