Why is it only Wednesday, or maybe I mean how? This week has already been much too long.

Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Good luck, flea! Can you put the cat in another room, or would that lead to yowling?
No shootings up here in the Adirondacks, but escaped convicts are around somewhere.
Oh god, the first time I heard that story on the radio, they called it a "daring escape." Excuse me?? I thought we were trying not to glamorize criminals anymore??
Caffeine is not working. Sleep would be so fantastic right now. And I slept well last night.
FiL report from last night is that he has a couple more days in the hospital to help ensure that the reattachments stick. They are worried he might lose more fingers. I am feeling pretty sure he won't. This man has been through more dire accidents than anyone else I know, and he tends to land on his feet. But any and all ~ma for a healthy recovery and keeping the rest of his hand is quite welcome. I imagine Cody will be spending a lot of time there this summer helping him recuperate.
Closer to home, poor Franny is still feverish. Woke up this am with her fever already at 102.5, poor noodle. I texted my sister to see if she thinks a doctor visit is in order, but I'm tending that way even if she says wait another day. Because if it's already at 102.5, how high is it going to get this afternoon, which is when her fevers usually peak?
I feel like "daring escape" ought to involve flying over prison walls in an improvised hot air balloon.
Suspect brandishing a shotgun sounds like better justification for a police shooting than, well, any incidents since Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
Why is it only Wednesday, or maybe I mean how? This week has already been much too long.
AGREED! I was thinking exactly that in almost exactly those words.
Oh, poor Franny! Much health~ma to your whole family, Burrell.
Hey, people who take sabbaticals - does it come in your seventh year or after seven years?
Poor Franny!
I woke up from my first sleep at 1:30, so I tried really hard to go to back to sleep. I fell back asleep at 4:00, and then could not get up when I needed to to get to work ontime (5:00). I slept through snoozing my alarm until 7:10, and then I had to call a cab to get to work by 8:00.
I can't even engage in the whole shooting/answering the door with a shotgun/aggravated menacing story. It hits a place of deeply held panic and paranoia in me, and every time I try to post my reaction it looks tinfoil hat kooky to me and I delete it.
Ugh Sophia, how frustrating. One thought, have you tried one of those melatonin sprays? I use this one if I wake up in the middle of the night and it helps me go right back to sleep, but that's a pretty high dose. There may be one that's only 1 mg or 500 mcg, less likely to make you feel sluggish in the morning.
