Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Skipping (yet again, sigh) to post that, unless my counting-on-my-fingers are mistaken (which they totally can be, you know), today is Frisco's *first* birthday.
Happy birthday, big baby boy! Happy day, Stephanie! With lots of wishes for all your family, as well.

I'm watching the dawn here. I'll get to start driving home when my brother comes to take over Mom Duty. I start evening classes (at least for a little while) on Wednesday so my life will have shape and purpose outside of Finding A Job....

Happy birthday, Frisco!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Brithday, Frisco!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
How is it fair to date someone who only needs like, six hours of sleep every night, when I need like, 8.5?
Preach it. The Boy came to bed at 5 goddamn a.m., at which point I was pretty much up for the day, although I tossed and turned for another 90 minutes until my alarm went off.
I know it's probably the Wellbutrin that's fucking up my sleep architecture, but I swear to Christ, I am going to KILL him if he pulls that shit again. (I haven't been able to sleep more than 6 hours a night -- generally LESS -- for about 10 days now, WHICH HE KNOWS, and I'm about to go on a sleep-deprivation-induced rampage.)
Yes, I take Ambien. It puts me to sleep, but there's nothing to be done when I wake up at 5 a.m. and can't fall back asleep and know my alarm is going off at 6:30. Anything I could take would leave me groggy for the rest of the day (trust me, I've tried that route).

And it's basically a mealy-mouthed version of Rush's "I hope Obama fails". Wanker. Not that I'm surprised.

Ah, yes. I remember these days. And it was exactly like that- could fall asleep just fine but slept very lightly and couldn't fall back asleep once awoken. What helped for me was taking the extended release flavor all at once first thing in the morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(I haven't been able to sleep more than 6 hours a night -- generally LESS -- for about 10 days now, WHICH HE KNOWS, and I'm about to go on a sleep-deprivation-induced rampage.)
Yeah, I would absolutely be ready to kill someone after that long without enough sleep.
Now that I know I have this fever, I understand why I've felt so crappy for a week, but what I would really like is for it to GO AWAY. This weekend proved that taking a sick day wouldn't even help, so I'm soldiering through, but I'm just over it.
