Well, this member of the morning crew was up twice during the night to do nebulizer treatments, so she slept in.

I'm trying to wake up enough to get dressed and make the bed before the people show up for the showing of the apartment.

I've been waking up around 3am for quite a few days, and refusing to get up. I fall back to sleep around 5:00 and then have to drag myself out of bed at 7:00 or 7:30. The next hour is prime hustle-everyone-out-the-door while sucking-down-half-caf time.

I increased my Celexa by 5mg a few days ago. The weird sleeping patterns seem to have come with that increase. Now by increase, I mean I finally made it up to a whole pill, mind you. It seems 3/4 of a pill may be my magic number. It really isn't handling all the anxiety though, so I'm giving the full pill a few more days before I cut back down. Besides, I got a new shape pill with my refill (oval this time, instead of round) and it's harder to split into quarters.

HOLD up...how do *I* have first morning post when it's not even that early here? What happened to the morning crew??

I appear to be having an unusually dark morning, but c'est la vie. Oh! I saw my doctor today, he of the fraud fine, and found out what happened to the medical clinic to make it close. All things considered, I probably shouldn't post the tale publicly, but it was quite a bit more interesting than just "it'd been losing money for the last year and just couldn't keep going".

In other news, I have organised that the mext meeting of my Toastmasters club, on this Monday, will have an international theme. I've been looking forward to it. And now work is sending me to Sydney for a week and I'll miss it! Well, buggeration.

Personally, the Red Line had a power outtage this a.m. and left me stranded at Ft. Totten. Hurrah for a DH without a job who came to my (and a co-worker's) rescue!

eta: Fay, that tatt sounds amazing. Someone needs to document Buffista's body art somehow.

I just really don't like my body and try to ignore it

but the rest of us really do and don't ignore it at all sighs blissfully remembering Fay snugglage

This morning, I'm all snuffly and my ankle is sore. It started being sore yesterday -- FOR NO REASON. Could I really have twisted or otherwise injured my ankle w/o being aware at the time?

P-C, glad to hear about your grandfather - the credit limit thing, I have no idea. I once had to charge a new server for my office on my credit card ($4K! yikes!) and paid it off right away, so they bumped my credit limit up to something I'm not ever likely to hit.

I had a consultation with a new hair place - Ilo in Georgetown for DCistas - and will be getting a new cut in a couple of weeks.

I like the idea of a ... gallery? ... of Buffista body art - I've seen a number posted at various times, but it'd be interesting to see them all in one place.

And, in other news, one of us, one of us!

Hubby is notorious for dislocating portions of his anatomy in his sleep. Do you have loose joints?

I'm not sure if I am awake yet, but i am faking it.

and I think reclaiming your body is a great idea,Fay. and sometimes, it has to be extreme
