Nightmare last night which kept me up and shivering most of the AM. Still shivering. Nightmares don't usually *bother* me, dammit. This one freaked my shit out.
Note to self: don't get flayed alive.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes, I've decided that I should not read The Passage before going to sleep.

Compassionately intolerant
Any of you ever try to hold down a very angry 3 year old to get many vials of blood drawn?
How many hospital personnel does it take to do this with a 50 year old woman with a needle phobia?
8.
NOT great.
In the end, it was the Ativan...and lots of it...that did the trick.
If I didn't live in the non-drug wanting camp, I might marry Ativan.

I really enjoyed The Passage and its creepy ways when I was reading it at the start of the summer. The other day I saw it on the shelf and realized I'd completely forgotten I'd ever read it.

Because books.
I had to Google The Passage and now I want it.
So much for reading books I already own. Sigh.

I'm working from home. Again. Really wanted to go in the office today but I woke up to find my boy asleep on the couch. Sitting up. I woke him, pointed him to the shower and went to take care of myself. Next time I came out, I could tell he had showered, but he was again asleep sitting up. I woke him and suggested food. He nodded and immediately nodded off again.
I had heard him up and down during the night. Apparently he didn't sleep more than a couple of hours. I finally pointed him to bed and I haven't heard a peep from him since. Oy.

Amy, we're starting that in January. Knock yourself out. I should warn you that the book is 700+ pages. Between that, Wolf Hall, and War and Peace, I have about 2500 pages to read this month.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
DJ, "arguing with goat" made me laugh so hard I couldn't see! Just what I needed this morning; thanks!

megan, I saw Wolf Hall is out in paperback now! I'm such a goner, man. Totally buying that, too.
I'm writing this from beyond the grave, by the way, because I am DED FROM TEH CUTE NOW.

Arguing with a goat
I found the goats arguments to be very persuasive, well-sourced and logically thought out. I'd like to subscribe to goat's newsletter.
