Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To stop myself from actually crying, I called in mostly off today. I have no idea how those days count on PTO. I just need to keep track of a couple threads in email, but mostly I'm going to try and put my sanity back on track and stop my cranium from feeling like salted sandpaper.
FUCK.
This wasn't supposed to happen. It really wasn't. But it was a miracle I made it this far on so little sleep. It's only because the ER visit this past weekend was so successful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What I realize today is how lucky I am to be able to call out sick for feeling semi-crappy. Because I'm so generally healthy, I don't have to worry about saving sick time.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh ita, I hope you can grab some sleep.
I keep staying up way too late myself. No real problems getting to sleep, just want more alone time and last night, mac insisted on sleeping in my bed, so I was avoiding that. paying for it today. If I can work 3-4 hours though, I can take all of tomorrow off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Sleep-ma for ita. I've been early-waking all week (in the 3:30 - 5:00 range) and never really getting back to sleep, but at least I've been falling asleep pretty much as soon as I hit my bed. I can deal with this for a week or so, but total lack makes me loopy.
My brother Chris chased my other brother around the table with a carving knife when he was 11 threatening to kill him. He's a solid citizen...now.
I remember my best friend and me chasing each other around his living room when we were around 11 with an axe and fireplace poker. I can't remember who had which. He's still one of my closest friends (no blood was shed, in any case).

From way back: Generally hate the actor-rapper thing too, but for Idris Elba, I wouldn't mention it. At least on The Office, they had him say "I'm aware of my effect on women." but that was Charles, not him. But I would guess that he knows.

Shuttle wants to pick me up at 8:30. For a 12:00 flight.
yeah, that's one of the many reasons why I just say "fuck it" and drive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shuttle will be cheaper than parking, so I'll let someone else have the hassle of negotiating traffic.
Okay. Meds and back to bed.
