I took an hour plus nap as soon as I got home, and getting out of bed after was one of the hardest things all week.

Home from babysitting. Helluva lot later than planned, but they hadn't been out in a bit, so I don't begrudge them much (except while every time I'd doze off, one of the damned dogs would start pacing on the wood floors.)

And yes, I'm still marketing in the am.

I feel like this could be tattooed on my arm as it encapsulates my whole life.

Seriously, I think that enough sleep would change my life. But I know myself so I know it's also fictional.

Still, it'd be the best thing ever.

OMG, guys! The news just told me that heroin killed someone! And she was a generically pretty white blonde young woman! IT HAS TO STOP, they said.

I'm glad someone has finally noticed. Maybe now they can do something about it, since the delicate flowery potential of Aryan America is at risk. For the first time.

I wonder how irritable the probably perfectly reasonable employees for the news stations get when they have to do that sort of rank bullshit.

LOTUS made the Secret Service take her into the overflow room FIRST and spent a lot of time shaking hands!

Ouch.

See now, if you were a Romney supporter you'd never have these problems.

My day has been spent mostly trying to make my back stop hurting. Enough painkillers to put me to sleep, and it was still hurting. Sleeping on the spare bed with the firm mattress the last two nights has helped, though, which means sometime soon I have to spring for a new mattress, dammit. Tonight I dug out a corset-like thing and found a hot pack thing in the back of the closet, and those have finally made me able to move sort-of normally. This shit has got to stop, that's all. I also dug out the yoga mat and will start doing the old PT exercises again tomorrow, but it's hard to do PT exercises when I can't bend.

Hi, Trudy!

Hi, Zen!

Have you taken a whack at Salonpas patches? I'm pretty sure they're hippy-dippy shit, but Mommy likes 'em.

Edit: Nope. The internet tells me they are not complete hippy-dippy shit!

In case you're interested, there's a breakdown of last month's traffic in B'cracy. I might run one on all we have in the logs and see that too.

Good night, fair posters and foul alike...KIDDING!!!!! Nobody gets a good night if I don't.

I love seeing that shit. Thanks!

I hope things are as easy as possible for you and your mom, Frank. Which I realize might not be that easy.
