Also, they rescued an elderly guy today that was stranded at his house inside the evacuation zone. His wife was taken by the tsunami, and he was unable to evacuate by himself and had no way to communicate out. The press had gone along with the military recovery effort, which was ramped up inside the evacuation zone since the radiation levels have started to subside there, but the press got bored since there were so few recoveries and wandered off. They found this guy in his house; they were the first people to speak to him since in the month since the earthquake.
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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I am insanely jealous of those short sleepers. I can get by on 9 hours a night, but 11 a night is ideal. Less than 9 two nights in a row and i can expect a week of pain. Frackin sucks. Those people have so much more time for living :(

Speaking of which, I should probably get to sleep. Early day again tomorrow. I'm just so achy and generally woeful I feel like it half isn't worth it. Oh well, better to be lying down, I guess.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

This is when I have the hardest time just *going* to bed.
Like, oh, now. Allergies and sick and ... I really need to just go to bed. If I am easily napping in the mornings after taking more twitchytwitchySudafed, I need the sleep.

There is no news on Sass. We put 800 flyers across three zip codes, had 4500 robocalls done, and hired the tracker for 24 hours and got no sightings, no scent. Both the DH and I are wrecked.
eta: Gud, I'm so sorry about your week.

I'm sorry, Gud.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Gud, I am so sorry.
Sparky, lots of good thoughts and prayers for Sass' safe return.

I need a lot of sleep. I'm also lazy, so those things are kinda hard to separate sometimes.
This is also me. Between the laziness, the depression, and needing lots of sleep... well, I guess it's not that surprising that my weekends aren't very productive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I continue to enjoy sleeping a lot, but am less and less good at it, which is super annoying.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think the sleep conversation last night cursed me, since I got about 4 hours of sleep last night. Maybe 5. I just couldn't sleep. And then when Tim's alarm went off, I fell back asleep...only to find he didn't turn it off when he left the bedroom; he hit snooze.
I am so bug-eyed with lack of sleep right now it's almost comical.
And we will not speak of the headache behind my cheekbone, nor of the loopy wiredness the drugs are giving me.
It's going to be a long, interesting day at work.
