Insomnia? Or is it my sleep patterns just totally out of whack. Either way. It's 3am and I'm not tired. I need to get a reading light for my bed. Reading might be better than computer stuff.

Also, facebook is annoying me right now. Trying to catch up on 2 weeks of "requests" and the thing keeps reloading the home page. Ugg. I think I'll try to sleep again.

(((Sean and S)))

I read the news just before I had to get Matilda into her bedtime routine so I haven't said anything, but you have both been in my thoughts and I've been vibing hard (and, when Matilda woke me up a little while ago, I went straight into vibing and worrying mode the second my eyes opened). All my ~ma is yours, for any possible comfort and healing and for a wise and caring medical team tending to her.

I'm sorry, Sean. Now that they have a diagnosis for S, I hope that they'll be able to focus some effective treatments on the problem.

I do not love you, 4 a.m.
You are not cool, you are not zen
I do not want you as a friend
I do not want to see you again.

Sean & S - so much pull-through and recovery~ma.

Smart boards - Ooooh.

Soapbox alert: I looked at the news this morning and saw words like 'historic' and 'electrifying' from even the liberal papers. Historic only in the party sense, right? Or that Palin is the first book-banning, no-you-can't, obfuscating candidate to prey on voters because her own party preaches to the folksy people at the same time they feel those people are too stupid to think for themselves?

Much ~ma continuing for Sean & S. I know it is very scary and serious. Also, the agitation that you described is not unusual in someone so ill. With both my father and late DH there were times when they were so horribly agitated that loved ones couldn't be in the room with them for more than brief moments. It is unbelievably tough.

Public alert: Just don't listen to NPR this morning. You don't need to hear how awesome and inspiring Palin is. Trust me on this.

We have a couple of smart boards at work. They're great, but they require smart employees to run them. I'm sure teachers would have no problem getting the bells and whistles to work. Sadly, I can't say the same about many of my coworkers. However, they also function effectively as really, really expensive whiteboards. At which point you can hear one of the IT staff sobbing quietly in a corner.

{{{Sean}}} {{{S}}}

You'll be in my thoughts today.

Sean, I'm so sorry you and S are going through this. All my ~ma is funneling straight to Burbank.
