Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

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

I think this whole week should just be a holiday. So I can get some shit done. I probably need to present a different reason to get any buy in from my employer.

We had a heat index of 112° yesterday and 114° today. Do Not Want.

I took Mom out to a neighboring small town for lunch at a Mexican place today. We discovered we each liked the other's food better (tacos al pastor were too spicy for her; beef and chicken taquitos and quesadillas were too bland for me). Then I went into a nap-coma from 3 to 9, so getting back to sleep tonight may be a challenge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Agreed!

I'm just stepping in to quietly report that it has now been fully 6 months that I have had a natural, regular sleep schedule.

I've only stayed up till sunrise once. And that was reading a new book that dropped at midnight.

And I've only had a couple of nights, 2-3, where I couldn't fall asleep within 45 or so mins, and had to get up and try again in a while.

...this is literal magic. I actually cannot believe this is my life.

You guys KNOW how utterly, utterly messed up my sleeping issues were, for so long, so I just had to goggle at this in amazement and accomplishment, and share.

ETA: Er, my sleep has been natural and unmedicated for 2.5 years. Regular? Bahahaha. Nope. Until lately.

Yay, Strix!

Strix, that is wonderful!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Strix, that's fantastic!

TCG is only working today, and then the week long birthday celebration continues.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay for birthday weeks and sleep! Both most excellent events.

That's awesome, Strix.

I have to make sure not to totally waste the three days I'm in the office this week. I don't have a ton that needs to get done, but more than nothing, and it already seems like it will be real easy to just hang around and chat about vacations -- everyone is either just back or on their way out, it feels like.
