Oh, Anne, I hate that playmix. It needs to be destroyed.

All kinds of ~ma to you and your family.

{{{Anne}}} Tons of every kind of ~ma that you need right now. How is your stepfather doing? Is there anyway you could take a day out of work tomorrow or sometime this week? It sounds like you could really use a stress free day.

Drop some Melatonin if you have some. Deep sleep and dreams that remind you of the beautiful talented Anne sound like the best plan. I'm sorry to hear of the ongoing health issues for your stepdad. Your parents are better served with a well-rested daughter too.

I'm going to try to take some time off on Friday. We'll see what happens. Right now, I'm dealing with the fallout from people being way too cavalier about meeting deadlines. I FINALLY got them to understand why this was not a good, right or fair thing to do, but that doesn't solve the problems caused by their lateness.

My stepfather is fairly weak, but recovering. He's lost something like 20 pounds since June 20, which is when this all started. He should have been out of the hospital yesterday (he was out for four days, then had to go back in when he started running a fever), but he had a fainting spell due to low blood pressure.

I am also out of Premsyn, so I have nothing on hand to quell the hormones. I think a stop at Walgreens on the way in to work tomorrow will be a very necessary thing.

Tylenol PM have been consumed. I hope this helps. That's all I had in the house.

Hands Anne some chocolate and herbal tea.

Continued~ma to your stepfather. I hope he is well and able to leave the hospital and get home soon.

Oh, Anne, all kinds of ~ma. I hope the Tylenol PM can help you sleep and your brain switches to a more helpful playlist.

(((Anne))), and ~ma for your family, hon.

I think most people 30 and over have that playmix if they haven't become superhighpoweredfamous whatever their dream was. Lord knows Mr. Jane and I kick ourselves on a regular basis.

It's just that we're so multi-talented it's hard to focus. Ah, to be a buffista.

Thanks for the encouragement, all. I managed to get some halfway decent sleep last night, and I'm feeling much calmer than I was last night.

I have a large number of things to get done today, so when I get to work I'm going to make a list and simply work my way through it.

Continued calm~ma would be appreciated, though. I'm still feeling all a-jangle, even though I'm in a better head-space.

Oh, Anne. I hope today looks better and that you got a good night of sleep. {{{Anne}}} Hugs and thoughts and prayers to you and yours.

And there we are! Posting seconds apart! Morning, love.
