I was reading an article the other day about people with anaemia and hypothyroidism and the like, and how tiredeness was the main symptom. They were talking about how they could easily sleep for twelve hours straight and finding it difficult to find the energy for everyday tasks. What if you're like that, and you don't have an excuse? Do The Lazies count as an excuse?
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
On Today's Papers this morning I heard the story about a local reporter who got fired because he chronically overslept. A few months later, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, and he figures that must have been the source of his sleepiness.
The only conclusion I can draw from this is that Dana has testicular cancer.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Last night I remembered I had some Xanax, and this morning I fully understand while people become addicted. Best sleep I've had in weeks. I actually feel AWAKE.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I woke up at 5AM and stumbled around moaning "WHY IS IT SO DARK? WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I'M DYING?" for a few minutes before I thought to look at a clock.
DH bought this stupid projection clock so I have a big red LED numbers projected on the ceiling. It's bad enough tossing and turning and rolling over to see the clock. When it's staring down at you in giant red numbers, UGH.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So I either have anemia, testicular cancer, or chronic laziness.
Except I didn't oversleep. The whole problem is that I woke up early. So I think I'm safe from testicular cancer.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There's a big company-wide announcement in ten minutes. Nobody will say what it's about. This can't be good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Went to sleep last night without narcotic assistance. Been a while. The ER visit has already been worth the $75 copay. My bar's not high.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Probably it's not a pizza party, huh.

Maybe I have testicular cancer. I got home from work yesterday and slept for two hours, then went to bed at ten and got up at seven. And I could totally nap right now.
Nah, I think I just have The Lazies.
