I track my sleep, because there's an app for that, and tag each night with factors that may affect my sleep - coffee, tea, stress, exercise, whatever. The only one of my tag that the app says helps me sleep is drinking tea, and when I say I drank tea I mean a cup of black tea in the afternoon, so, I don't know what to make of that. Even melatonin doesn't show a positive effect, but I think that's because I only take it when I expect to have trouble falling asleep and have to get up whether I sleep or not.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I was keeping a dream journal for a while but I stopped because, apparently, I have a LOT of anxiety dreams -- and writing them down re-anxiouses me.
Which leads me to think that even when I DO sleep... I don't get a whole lot of rest. Isn't that just dandy.

Y'all, my work inbox is so tidy and organized right now. I'll be cleaning my keyboard pretty soon if nothing comes up for me to do.

It's a shame you can't tackle mine long distance.

How much would y'all pay for a 4" pot of a baby veggie that was recently potted up from a plug? 50 cents? We had a salad box workshop get canceled and now we have a plethora of Mizuna, Tatsoi, Deer Tongue Lettuce, Ruby Streaks Mustard, Spinach, and Garden Baby Butterhead Lettuce galore to get rid of, as well as various other annual flowers that I over-propagated and couldn't bear to just chuck like a hardened greenhouse person should do when thinning seedlings.

On the dog food question, I'm feeding Mr. Peabody Costco's Kirkland dry food. It seems to have the best cost-to-nutrition ratio. Meat is the first ingredient and it doesn't have corn. It could use a bit more protein, but I usually give him some meat too. Anyway, my picky little dog likes it. You do have to get some kind of large storage container with a lid, to deal with the ginormous quantities.

Julie, four-inch pots around here go for $3-$4. The minimum price for vegetable plants is a four pack of two-inch cells for $1.80. (What? I'm a little plant obsessed.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, ugh, ita. I wish they would help you!
My big fat meeting went...fine. Generally good, but there was a super awkward situation with my most-feared department head, which was possibly my fault (although I don't think so). And I was a mess on the A/V. So I feel crappy, but I think everyone else feels good. Except the one department head. I should write my internal thank you notes tonight, but can't bear it. Tomorrow will have to do.
