Sleep, Suzi! I make the wavy fingers of sleep in your direction.
I think I will not get much. Still have my own cough, but the SO is newly sick again (this is round four for him) complete with fever and sore throat, so I`m up listening for him in the other room. He was sleeping but is coughing again now. Poor boo.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

My insomnia has taken over...actually, I guess, at this point, it's not really insomnia, since I am sleeping ok, when I get to sleep.
It's just that without Ambien, my sleep schedule flips in about 5 days. Right now, I am getting to sleep at about 9 am, and waking up at about 5pm. Since D. gets up at about 4:45 am, and goes to sleep at about 9:30, it's not optimal, but ok. However, M comes for the summer in two weeks, so I am a little nervous about it.
I grew up swimming in ponds and lakes, and I don't love the mud or the lake smell. I adore swimming in rivers and creeks in SMo/north AR, where the the bottoms are gravel lined, and usually flat rocks of limestone when you get out farther. And they are usually spring-fed, so they are nice and fresh smelling, unlike lakes with are ew, fish smell.
I've only swam in the ocean a couple of times, but I liked it. The waves were fun, but did make me a little nervous when I was getting out to not being able to touch depth.
(Um, and in Mexico, I DEFINITELY liked the part where they swept the sand off the lounge chairs for me, and brought me frozen strawberry daiquiris! I felt like a rock star!)

So on the one morning I'm giving a friend a ride to work, when I tell her no way I'll be ready before 8:30...I've been ready since quarter to 8. Fun. Oh well, a few more minutes...

I got a whole lot more apprehensive about the ocean (and any water where I can't see the bottom clearly) after I got stung by a Portuguese Man O' War, which seriously was like getting acid splashed on you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Now I've got the Kenya thing running through my head.
I am about to LOSE MY MIND. I'm exhausted despite plenty of sleep, I've been unreasonably cranky and on edge for two days and today isn't being any better, my boss is on a micromanagement binge, and the cat is whining incessantly and charging around knocking shit over and banging at the (expensive!) wooden window blinds, and I want to just close my bedroom door and go back to bed, but I have a conference call in an hour and a half, and I'm tempted to just call in sick, OMG what's wrong with me.
Fucking hormones.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
While I don't really care for the most part, CJ does spend each weekend with KCD...so how is that gonna work out? I'm trying not to worry about it (as much as a control freak can).
It'll be okay, Suzi. EM was sleeping over at her ex-BF's place pretty early in her relationship with him, and the only real consequence for Emmett is that he became closer with the guy's son. Which turned out to be disastrous for Emmett later when they broke up and he no longer had contact with the boy. But that's a different problem.
I got no sleep fretting about this talk with Emmett. But I need to focus on finishing this writing job. Also my voice is raw from yelling about our win last night.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
... gosh, I hope I like the songs. I bought it with no idea of what it sounds like. BECAUSE IT IS THE ADDAMS FAMILY, AND MUST BE MINE.
The reviews I've read of the show have not made me want to run out and hear the songs, despite my love of the Addams Family and Bebe Neuwirth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So there's a fancy meeting at work today, and no one told me to suit up! Not that I'm going to the meeting, or have anything to do with the meeting. Maybe I'll just close my office door. (My boss has her door closed all the time, which I think is just weird, since they are solid doors, so it really seems like interrupting her all the time....) Anyway, all of the junior staff are freaking out about SNAFUs, so I am laying low...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Having an office door you can close is a win. Go with that.
I did get some sleep but I`m just so tired from all this sickness. I am concerned about this weekend`s trip, but since we already had to cancel out on this guy`s tour, I don`t feel like we can bail on this. I think we should hit the doctor, but we`ll see how he`s feeling today.
Having a passive solar house means you have to be more active and I was up at 6:30 to shut the windows. But both the SO & the roommate are still asleep with their windows open and it`s already 70 so it`ll be hot by this afternoon.
