Spike ,'Sleeper'


Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Princess Tickybox should snooooooze.

As, frankly, we all should be.

I went to check my email before I went to bed. There was an interesting email about a possible job - out of the blue. I called thinking that, being a corporate number and all, I could leave a message. We can all see where this went, right? Yeah, I woke her up. This shows interest right? That I called to say I would call in the morning.

I should have known you'd be up. You're always in the running with ND, for most sleep-disordered Buffista.
Sigh... It's funny even though it is sadly true...

And actually given the stupid (which I just posted about) and the ensuing stress, I might take an Ambien now so I should only be around for a half hour or so... Because tonight? Well now I need to sleep so I can be alert in the morning.

Oooooops. Yes. Interest. Definitely interest.

Princess Tickybox should snooooooze.

I think she might have taken your advice, Cass. If you can bottle that, you'd never need a conventional job again. You'd just need someone to write a macro that would send out emails to new babies, every few minutes. People would fight to be on your client list. You'd be living the life of Riley, without actual Riley.

As, frankly, we all should be.

I fell asleep not too long after 10, so I don't think there's any going back for me. At noon, I'll be falling over, but right now, with six hours or so under my belt, my brain and body won't quiet back down. Besides, I've had a cup of coffee.

You, though, should sleep. And Princess Tickybox and her mother, the queen, should do likewise. I won't get into too much trouble on the 'net, all by myself. I only get into trouble when the humans are out and about.

Well, I am only able to keep track because I'm in the top ten.
And actually given the stupid (which I just posted about) and the ensuing stress, I might take an Ambien now so I should only be around for a half hour or so... Because tonight? Well now I need to sleep so I can be alert in the morning.

Oh, that was the stupid? I though that was fresh stupid. I was too stupid to realize that was the stupid. Don't be so hard on yourself. Who puts their home number on these things? Besides, it will make a great, "How I got hired story," in the future.

Take the pretty pill, and sleep the sleep of the just, Cass.

Lilybean? Plei, that's too cute. How often is she eating? Are you healing well, and managing to sneak in naps, and all that?

She eats a lot in the evenings, not as much in the mornings--when her blood sugar is low, she snoozes, and it's hard to wake her for feeding. This means that we *do* get plenty of rest, but that she goes longer than she ought to between feedings at night. (In theory, I should wake her up at 4am to feed her this morning. Hrrm. Feh.) When she was inside, I could just slam a glass of juice and she'd wake up. Somewhat harder with her outside.

I'm healing well. Unfortunately, the joint pain side effect of my MMR shot kicked in this afternoon, so I've been stiff and achy with a side of cranky as a result.

So does that mean I can live the life with Spike instead? Mmmm, cheekbones.

Yeah, that was the stupid...

Her home (or, far more likely, cell) number was in the email likely because I know her, or knew her when she worked at another company. She started her own company and I ran into her a couple years ago. This was out of the blue but not totally blind.

So it showed interest right? Cause I don't want to have to backpeddle stupidity out of the gate. I mean, it's been a couple of years since I ran into her and a couple before since she was finding me assignments, there must have been something specifically *me* that made her send me the email...

I also took the pill. I figured I will be calmer and then actually sleepy sometime soon.

Six hours and coffee? Yeah, you're up...

When she was inside, I could just slam a glass of juice and she'd wake up.
t smiling now

And I gots a pretty, though valueless, number. And I am clause's bitch tonight it seems.

Did you just get re-inoculated, or is this a chronic thing? You poor kid. Nobody needs to be achy and stiff so soon after delivering a baby.

She eats a lot in the evenings, not as much in the mornings--when her blood sugar is low, she snoozes, and it's hard to wake her for feeding. This means that we *do* get plenty of rest, but that she goes longer than she ought to between feedings at night. (In theory, I should wake her up at 4am to feed her this morning. Hrrm. Feh.) When she was inside, I could just slam a glass of juice and she'd wake up. Somewhat harder with her outside.

Has she regained her birthweight yet? I don't expect you'll be a nervous mother, but still feel I should add that if she hasn't it's totally okay--very early for that, actually. I'm just being nosy.

Chris and Julia were snoozy in the morning, which soon turned into great sleeping at night. May it be so for you.

Assuming your milk supply is well established enough, and unless your doctor really wants her to go no longer than 4 hours, I wouldn't worry about waking her until it had been six hours, if it's just that one feeding she's inclined to delay, and since it sounds like she's making up for it, otherwise.

Yeah, that was the stupid...

a) Yeah (eta that is, you can have Spike)

b) I don't even look for stupid until after 9:00am, frankly. Besides, I caught part of FX's airing of Intervention yesterday, so I'm remembering when I had whole other hopes for the B/S storyline.

I am hoping that she won't mind that I called her just before 2 a.m. to tell her that, of course, I wanted to talk to her. I suspect it will be actually. I just feel like a dolt for calling in the first place.

I think it is something I'd laugh about, particularly if you explained you thought you'd reach an office, with voice mail, not a private number.
