By the way, I completely want a basket by sj now. Which is a hint only that if ones were to be sold on eBay and announced here, I might actually have to try out eBay again.

This is good to know.

My new computer is up and running. My cable modem is installed and running. My boyfriend is the bestest boyfriend ever because he did all of it.

Lists are a great comfort to me. Even just thinking about what goes on a list calms my brain.

I can. not. sleep.

It's 5.30am. I went to bed around 1ish, but eventually got back up around 3ish, having lain there trying to get to sleep ineffectually. I think I'm just going to stay up, and then hopefully I'll finally get my body clock back in line if I go to bed tonight at 10pm or so. Maybe.

{{{Fay}}} Sorry about the lack of sleep.

Speaking of sleep, we're off to bed Dave has to get up way too early tomorrow to be up this late. Night all.

Susan, I'll be thinking of you and your family in the coming days and wishing you all the best in getting through the next few days. Take care, and continue to write all the lists you want; if they help, that is all that matters.

Yeesh Fay. I hate that. I hate the being unable to sleep and the eventual giving up and the hoping that if you just make it past X, then it will all reset itself to normal.

But then it's pretty well documented that I have sleep issues.

You could go post in that other thread and convince me to watch even more tv. Won't do bollocks for you, but it'd be fun.

Something bit me to pieces. I have downed Benedryl, smoothed on some script cortisone ointment, run very hot water over the itchies, bathed in oatmeal, smeared on benzocaine cream and I am really running out of tricks.

cold.

heat on itches - esp if they lean towards the hivey side - makes them worse.

Lucky Something...

No! No! I meant MEAN something. Really. MEAN something.

Honest.

Ice! I forgot the ice packs. Thank you!

The heat is usually bad, I agree. I am just really allergic and though it isn't the best thing, some really hot water tends to numb out the nerves for a while. It seems to give the rest of the drugs a chance. Granted is Not a Good Thing, but I got horribly bitten by fleas a while back and flea bites are instantly swollen and then want to burst and to then get infected so I tried literally anything to keep from going mad. And to sometimes sleep, though that usually needed slightly stronger drugs applied.

I have my medicinal peas now. Ah, sweet blessed vegetal chills.

I meant MEAN something. Really. MEAN something.

If I am complaining, it's a mean something. You can put all your kittens on that.

I've just been looking up pick-up lines on the internet. Most of them are utterly atrocious of course. (I did like one, "Hi, I'm an amnesiac. Do I come here often?")

But I did find a couple of excellent ones from the movies.

Oh, now don't turn ordinary on me. I get tired of ordinary women, and I don't want to get tired of you.
Everything wrong with you I like.

And from the list of geek pick-up lines:

Tell me of this thing you humans call -- love.
If you turn me down now, I will become more drunk than you can possibly imagine.
You must be Windows 95 because you gots me so unstable.
