Bah, I have a headache.
Also am very annoyed with my sleeping habits. Both last night (when I was tipsy) and the night before (when I was not) I've fallen asleep and then woken up at 2:30 and stay awake till 4:30 or5am. I stay in bed mostly, so there's some drifting, I think, but not for very long or for very deep. Then I sleep OK from about 5 until 7:30ish. Then awake.
Today I need to pound out an essay for school. I'm hoping to get the bulk of it written today and use tomorrow for editing/polishing and watching the Travel Channel's Anthony Bourdain
No Reservations
marathon.
Nora, your sleeping pattern sounds like mine. Good luck with yoi essay.
People! I require distractions when writing papers! I click over here after I write an impressive sounding academic type sentence to reward myself for pulling the thought, kicking and screaming, from my brain, and there's nothing for like an hour and a half!
(also, sj, thanks for the well wishes, as you can see, it's going... well, it's going. Slowly, surely, frikken painfully. Although some of that pain is a self inflicted hangover so BAD NORA NO BISCUIT.)
Last night I did not join you in that evil sleep pattern. i woke up a lot. and I had one day where I was going to show my face at the F2F - but I sorta forgot it was in atlanta. so I ended up eating at a train restarant with Suzi and some others
Gee, after last night's posting, I'm all kinds of surprised to hear that Nora.
But yay sentence!

Yay!
Last night I had a more disturbing dream about confronting my cousins regarding family obligations, a total smack down. Of course, I'm the youngest of the 4 of us, with the eldest being a good 15 years older than me.
While I will be seeing all three of them later today, I doubt I'll have the guts to even give them a hint that they have screwed up so badly.Yes, I am a wuss.
I hope the dream was at least a little cathartic for you, Suzi.
We will see how the day actually ends up going. I've been pissed at my cousins since my mom's transplant. This is the first time I'll be seeing all three together since then.
The family is getting together cause of the cousins sold her house and her family (her, plus her husband, 3 year old daughter and 13 year old daughter) are leaving for Africa for a year. They will be volunteering, trying to start up an orphanage and repopulate a town that has all the infrastructure in place, but it has basically become a ghost town.
As wonderful and self-sacraficing as all that is - my family was the last to hear about this and this particular cousin hasn't been in touch with us for over 6 months. Hasn't returned phone calls or e-mails or anything.
I'm an only child. These three cousins are the closest I have ever had to siblings and they know it. When their mom was dying, my mom promised to always be there for the girls. Too bad they don't seem to care.
Gah - issues much?
And with my whining, I kill the thread. My apologies. Time to packup and leave anyway.
