ita, I wish that by the time I type this, you'll already be asleep.

It's not fair that while one person fights every fiber of her being to stay awake, another has such a struggle to actually sleep. This is not the sort of balance I like.

I used to read every post.

I almost added "maybe other than ita" in my former post. Then I remembered that you once said that you had skipped, so I believed you and didn't.

In Natter I think I've skipped three times, and two of those were in the past month. The headaches and the medication are taking my life two days at a time every now and again and that's part of me accomoddating.

I am so screwed tomorrow!

In Natter I think I've skipped three times

I think that the first time in, oh, I don't even know how long, that I actually skim in Natter and not just skip to the end for a couple of posts and another *poof*, is this last month (or two), with the almost 24/6 (minus shabbat) sitting in front of the computer and needing at least something on it that not only works but doesn't seem like it's out to get me.

I'm so sorry that the thing that's keeping you around is also wringing you dry. If you start to have reflexive negative associations with b.org, I will come over and beat up your PhD. But I do like having you around, and seeing you and Shir post is especially cute.

Whoo! Found Benadryl! I really should clean out my drug collection. I think I have at least one of everything.

If you start to have reflexive negative associations with b.org

No worries. If anything, that's the thing that gives the positive spin on these difficult weeks. I *love* being able to actually know what's going on with y'all that's not "Beep Me".

I will come over

Hmm, wait - if I whine enough, does that mean you'll come to Israel? Now I wonder if it's worth it, just for hosting you.

seeing you and Shir post is especially cute

Yay! And in English, too (which I still find funny).

Okay. Gonna try it again. The Benadryl can start anytime now.

Hopefully I won't be back for...four hours. Whee.

Night, ita!

I hope your sleep will be rich in quality, if not in quantity.

I hope ita sleeps soon!

I used to read every post, but now there are large swathes of the board that I never enter.

Shir, just adding Beep Me and Press shouldn't add too much reading for you... they are low traffic threads and it helps to keep informed.

Morning, Sophia!

there are large swathes of the board that I never enter.

Lately, it's the other way around with me - there are only the few threads that I enter, and the rest of the board is a mystery.

And that's not even due to all my regular different-timezone, doesn't-watch-USA-current-tv knows-nothing-of-these-subjects stuff with some of the threads. Sigh.

However, I never not read "Press" and "Beep Me". I wanna know how y'all are doing, even if I don't get the slightest chance to let y'all know that I do. And I'm so pleased that I keep the Buffista Calendar because at least this way I get a good excuse every now and then to hop into Natter and at least skip there, without feeling guilt.

Ditto.
