Oh, dear God. Someone kick my ass off this couch! The sum total of my accomplishments for the day: posted two books on eBay; gave a pointless assist to someone in the midst of a kerfuffle with a bunch of assholes whose minds we will never change; ate lots of cream cheese and lox; thought about taking a shower.

I have to get to the post office before it closes, and I really have to vacuum the living room before the cookie-crumbs-and-Christmas-tree-needles-to-carpet ratio tips too far in the wrong direction, and I seriously have to shower. I don't think I've aimlessly slugged around like this since before I met Hec.

Hec! Your wife is falling down on the job!

The guy over the cube wall from me makes the most fascinating not-work phone calls. I completely can't concentrate. And people keep stopping by and having non-work-related convos with him too. My productivity is taking a hit.

Of course, the headache doesn't help. I can't believe I'm going to run out of the good meds before the funeral, and then have a weekend where I can't go to the ER to boot. I need to work out how to attack next week. I need to work out how to attack tomorrow.

Then I say it's past time, and you deserve it! Sometimes you need a day off from everything.

my noodle is either getting sick, having a growth spurt, or really upset about something. He is presenting as tired, but slept a full night last night and did nothing out of teh ordinary today.

Here's hoping it's the middle one.

Maybe I'm having a growth spurt.

Growth spurts make you tired? I had a big growth spurt when I was around 12 or 13. I didn't notice anything besides a little clumsiness and it seemed like I never had clothes that fit.

eta: Come to think of it, I did have a homeroom teacher in 9th grade who told my mom I always appeared tired. At the time I strongly disagreed with her.

A Pew Research Quiz:

I got the Iran-Israel border one wrong (seriously, my lack of knowledge about geography is huge and legendary), and the troops in Afghanistan one wrong.

This one amused me:

Do you happen to know who Glenn Beck is?

only because I felt that the correct answer wasn't an option (the motherfucking devil).

I got the Iran-Israel border one wrong

I couldn't picture Iran in relation to Israel in my head, but I figured if they bordered, I would have heard about it. (i.e. it would be mentioned in articles about the two countries.)

It looks like there's a Burn Notice marathon on tomorrow. Should I watch it?
