On the plus side, Brenda, cats would love a barrel. Sorry for your loss, sj. And, yes, listen to Laura and be kind to yourself.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Crap. Panic attack. Not good.
Ok, Hil, breathe. Are you somewhere safe?
Yeah. I'm at home, on my couch. It's not too bad yet, but I can feel it coming on. And I need to get to sleep soon, because I need to teach in the morning, but worrying about teaching and waking up on time is making things worse. But I can't fall asleep like this, either.
Hil, what has worked for you in the past? Staying up a bit later and watching Comedy Central or something may be better than trying to force sleep that will not come.
Thanks. I'll put on the TV, see if that helps. I set the alarm on my phone, so that if I do fall asleep on the couch, it will wake me up in the morning.
So much love to you, Hil.
Thanks. I've got Grace Under Fire on, and I'm eating some leftover pad thai. Not sure about sleep, but I feel like my heart rate is calming down a little.
Good. Keep at it. You're doing a great job.
Thanks.
I planned tomorrow's calculus classes to start with a worksheet reviewing the stuff we did right before spring break, because I know they'll have forgotten it, and they've got a test next week. Next Friday is going to be a huge pain. I'm covering a 9:00 class for a coworker, and then there's a midterm at night, which means I'll be there grading until about 10 or 11.
