{{{beth and Matt}}} comfort-ma for you and your family.

5:30 a.m. this morning. A little better than 3:30 yesterday morning. Yesterday I couldn't get back to sleep with the stuffy head/runny nose combo until 6:30 a.m. DH had to work from home so he could watch Owen in the morning so I could catch up on sleep (which was very nice). No way he can do that today, since he's in meetings up to his eyeballs all day.

Gronklies. I had a wonderful birthday dinner last night, but the waiter must have given me regular coffee instead of the decaf I requested, because I did not sleep AT ALL last night. Okay, maybe I fell asleep for a bit here and there, but it certainly did not feel like it. Feh.

Matt is on the ground at JFK - and I am so pleased with JetBlue. It was easy to make a one way reservation -because they are a commuter airline - no difference. Alo they fly with however many passangers they have. This means Matt got a whole row to himself last night - so he got some sleep. I made him call me when he reached NY ( there is a major mutual need to stay in touch), but I forgot that when I am woken up at this hour 1) I feel horrible and 2) it is hard to convince the hamster to go back to sleep.

{{{Anne}}} I'm glad you had a good birthday dinner, though. Happy Birthday!

Cashmere, I hope you can squeeze in a little nap later.

Happy Birthday Anne! Glad the dinner was good, and I suspect the enjoyment factor contributed to the wakefulness...which isn't a bad reason to be awake!

Ummmm, so I think I'm regressing to 16 and angsty, every time a Smiths song comes up on my iPod, I'm all, YEAH MORRISSEY SPEAK IT.

I want the freedom and the guile!
