The Holt novels were 'Gothic Romance' and I devoured them in probably middle school
They continue to be devoured in my home, though my copies are wearing out. Also Jane Aiken Hodge and Mary Stewart. They hold up surprisingly well.

NPR told me that DJ Jazzy Jeff is 50 today.
Wow. That's inconceivable!
I'm hoping my back/arm is better today. I slept for a very long time.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I cannot stop sleeping. Yesterday I called in to work and slept until 1. TOday I was 2 hours late because I overslept. I often am up in the middle of the night (say 2 am - 5 am) but fall asleep just as I need to get up. Last night I slept through, though. I actually snoozed the alarm from 5:24 am to 9:00 am, which I don't even understand how I can do that. My cat was also walking on me and meowing.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Banner few days, I guess.
Just found out my Grandma passed away. Like, half an hour ago.
It's okay. We've been kinda holding our breath on this for about...fifteen years.
Still.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{MM}} An expected loss is still a loss and they do tend to be cumulative.
Sophia, I have been feeling like I could just sleep and sleep and sleep lately. I've been going to bed at my usual time and letting myself have an extra half hour before I get up and that doesn't seem to make much difference. Combination of the time of year and, well, my default reaction to stress is to try to sleep through it, I think. Anyway, fully caffeinated beverages for another week, at least.

Aw, MM. Sorry. It's still hard, even if it's expected.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Sorry, MM.
I blame winter for lots of things, including my intense desire to sleep.

I am so sorry, MM. As Tara said, Its always sudden.
I am a stress sleeper, too. Although I am not even really enjoying my dreams or anything. Last night I somehow got roped into painting a set that wasn't even for a company I worked for, and I didn't know how to paint it really. The would was really rough and it looked awful.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yup. Time of year + stress + sinus infection = ALL THE SLEEPZ. Last night I dreamed about Iron Man becoming a chocolatier. Like, Iron Man in the suit, not Tony Stark. Apparently it was really good chocolate.
