It always takes at least a week for me to adjust to DST. The kids, too.

Yeah, sleep requires lack of pain, or at least temporary reduction in pain.

Pill popping sleep junkies, jonesing for a wink.

I know it's a reference to something but I can't put my finger on it. I keep coming back to "white collar conservatives, flashing down the street" and I know that ain't it.

Stephanie so much ~ma for Ellie and for you and the family. Very scary. HUGS.

I call those my stupid pills. They make me so stupid, I just can't stand it

Yep, that's Flexeril for me, too. Stupid and incoherent and then passed out. They work well, though, so I got that going for me.

I'm going to assume Hec didn't intend offense, but yeah, chronic insomnia can really change your perspective on sleep meds.

I just now finished all of my comments and grades and posted them ready. PHEW. Now I just have to teach all week. Feh.

I do not take sleeping pills (yet), but I do not judge. Insomnia sucks. If pills work for you, more power to you. So far, I work pretty ok on 4-5 hours of sleep. If I start getting less than that on a regular basis, I'll look for a script of my own.

Sleep tight my lovely bitches! Be pain free. In the mean time, dream of sweet sundials taking their pointy ends and bashing the heads of the idiots who want to stray from natural time for an even longer period of the year.

I did a lot of sewing today. Made a sling based on a baby-wearing design for holding Harvey, as he has been spending so much time wrapped up with me in a shawl I got for Christmas that he has started to scratch at my other clothes to get inside them if I'm not wearing it. Daniel made use of it, and Harvey was sooooooo happy in there. Happy, happy little half-marsupial cat. Also, he seemed to like it when I wore it with him, as I was sewing. He kept trying to grab the pants I was mending.

What, Harvey, spoiled? Nah....

There is no "natural time." Time is a human construct. Before artificial light, people worked from dawn to dusk, so in a sense, they were always on daylight savings.

I love daylight savings, but the transition does suck.

I should be going to bed , not happening yet. If I thought about it earlier I would have taken an ambien -- but since I take the CR this is way to late for that....

I ended up spending most of the day at a friend's house, which was nice--helped her go through her closet and toss some clothes which no longer fit/were flattering, and then we just talked about relationships/life/stuff...and ended up posting a joint "date us!" ad on craigslist. Hee! I suspect that half our friends will be like "Um, this is you guys, isn't it?" in private emails to us, but whatever. She and I are always looking at the same ads on CL and going "Hey, did you see that ad? Did you respond to it?" so we were like "Oh, what the heck...two responses for the price of one when you answer this ad! We like the same people!"

gah! frickin frackin flat tire. Spare won't budge. Walked home for wrench. gah!
