I sleep quite often. I mean, I sleep at least 8 hours a night. I'm still always tired. But I also regularly wake up before 5:00 AM.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ah, yes, breathing or eating is a sucky choice for anyone. Glad for a good outcome.

I am only barely managing to fake being a responsible adult.

Fake it till you make it! I don't feel like I am even faking it well much of the time. However, it is still early in my time zone, so I will luxuriate in finishing my wine and watching some more TV before going to bed (and reading a short story before actually sleeping)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I've tipped actual movers (who've gone over and above dealing with all the flights of stairs and awkward door angles in my last two apartments). But I've only had a couple of individual pieces of furniture delivered; one took weeks to get back to me and the others tried to scam me into paying a delivery fee that the furniture store already included in the price, so tips weren't happening.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

For your amusement: Tim found himself writing fruit fly fanfic in his head at work. (His office kitchen has fruit flies, and so he made a fruit fly trap out of a plastic container and some plum pits. And then he noticed one fruit fly was just sitting near the hole but not going *in* the trap, even though there were a ton of other fruit flies in the trap. And then he said he started imagining Outside Fruit Fly yelling down into the trap "Don't worry, guys! Joe has gone for help! We're going to lower a rope down for you!")

When he described this to me, *he* is the one who specifically used the term "fanfic." As in "I wrote fruit fly fanfic in my head today."

So today I feel like the more normal one in the relationship. Woo!

Oh and glad to hear ltc is doing fine, sorry about the trip to the ER but better safe

I tip because I figure LA is stupid expensive and I worry that folks are counting on their tips to cover their monthly expenses.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Getting even six uninterrupted hours of sleep is pretty unusual for me--it's usually closer to 5. I do try to go back to sleep or nap on the weekends, but I can't always.

To be fair the only furniture I've had delivered was both a couch and a loveseat, so I think I tipped each guy $20.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Sleep -- I want 7 to 8. i get between 5 and 6

Wednesday I woke up at 5 ( I normally get up 730ish) this morning I woke up at 4.

2 days is bad - much more - and I think everyone should die.

I don't even know why this has happened
