Good luck, Drew!

tommyrot, your post makes me think of the clinic near my office whose door says they are "First in eating disorders." First in treating them, surely??

Yeah, good call, tommyrot.

Went for a walk, which did help, but it was very hot out there already. So I guess it's a good thing I didn't stay home where there is no air conditioning. Dang, I don't think I turned on the second fan in the living room, I hope the critters can all cool off okay with what's going.

Also, I have discovered that if I want to get to work at or before 10, my only choice is waking up fully after my "first sleep", which is generally around 2:30 or 3:00 am. The time I HAVE to get up to get to work by 8:00 ish is 5:00 or 6:00 am, but if I try to go back to sleep I will not go back to sleep until around 4:30, and then I am out for about 4 hours and no amount of alarm will get me up.

Anyway, this means that I have no been awake for 11 hours and it is 1:44, and I am REALLY tired.

Jesse, we have an "Eating Disorders Networking Meeting" here weekly, and they have a giant sign they put up. I always think that is not quite right.

And all I can think about is if they have snacks at the meeting!

Because I am terrible.

It's a valid question. I am also terrible, though.

That is awful, Sophia, your lack of sleep. I can't figure out how people do that divided sleep thing, because if I woke up after a few hours sleep and was awake for a couple of hours it would practically be time to get up, and I don't think I can go to bed any earlier, especially not in the summer. Winter, of course, I could go to sleep at almost any time, but I never want to wake up.

Between bladder and things going on outside, I almost always wake up at 5, with the alarm set for 7. If I could keep to my determination to be in bed--actually in bed!--by midnight, this wouldn't be so bad. I know I should be in bed by 11, but that's only when I start thinking, "I should get off the computer, there's still plenty of time for reading."

No, I would wonder too. Also Evil.

I stayed up til about two reading, which is early for me and I slept till freaking 12:30, which I haven't done for a while. I am groot. I mean, grog. Groggy. Cofffeeee.

Drew, I hope it passes quick or they nuke the little sumbitch. I had a kidney stone and infection last summer, and when I finally went to Urgent Care (I thought I had a UTI), I peed in a cup and the doc was like, "Here's your mooney back, your urine is full of blood, go immediately to the ER, do not stop, do not pass go." And it wasn't big enough to zap, so alll in all it took about 3 weeks of peeing through a strainer, and taking The Good Drugs to get rid of the bloody thing.

I think I passed it in a river in the Ozarks, because I wasn't hauling a pee strainer to the river.

I hope is nuked from orbit (it's the only way to be sure.) I don't know what was worse -- gallbladder attacks or the fucking stone.

I hope everyone's Monday gets better!

I'm leaving early to hit the salon, so the betterment of my Monday is dependent on hair and hockey.
