Timelies all!
I got my booster shot today.(Moderna, like the others, since I got it at work.) My arm's sore. Hopefully that will be it for side effects.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

This time around I got the additional side effect of sleeping most of Sunday away, which is really winning the lottery in terms of side effects.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Laura, it takes me longer to adjust to DST changes, now.
Since I only work 30 hours a week, I mostly manage with naps. It fucks with my sleep cycle but at least I’m less exhausted.

Naps are lovely if you can finesse them.
I think an early afternoon/Siesta-ish nap is ideal.

Our wings are not tired.
I wish I was able to nap. It almost never happens. I worked with a guy who was all about the power nap. He would sit in a lounge chair in the corner of the office and be out in moments, sleep for 10-15 minutes tops and wake up bright and chipper. So envious. Sometimes I can get myself super comfy and read for a bit to knock myself out, but it is a rare occasion. My best bet for beating my mid-afternoon exhaustion slump is to go for a swim. Refreshes me and wakes me up when sleep isn't really an option.
We managed to stay up until 9:30 last night, woo! Didn't get up until 6:30 which is a recent sleeping in record, although to be honest, I did start reading my book a little before 6 to keep myself in bed.
Still no word from the house buyer, although considering his background I would expect him to have a formal offer drawn up. Dude graduated from Columbia, he is not going to make an offer by email. Still believe this couple is going to live here.

Fingers still crossed, Laura.

Thanks, Jen. I really would like something settled in my life. Too many balls in the air.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sending vibes, Laura!!
Also, I recently heard this good podcast about napping that said if you're not a napper, you're not a napper, but 20 minutes of quite time can be just as good. [link]

Well, SOME good news for the holidays - Target and a number of other large retailers are closing for actual Thanksgiving ... so Black Friday will start on ... Friday.
And a judge (forget who or where) issued a writ banning the Elf on the Shelf. It's not a serious writ, but it gives parents (and kids, maybe) reasons why not to have Little Brother watching them.
And, in me me me news, I can get an authentication code as a text message so I've been working with minimal hassle. I do get stopped to enter the @#$#!!! code, but I can live with that. Got a call from a co-worker who's running into the same issues - she didn't take it seriously until she got locked out of her office email.

Yay for text codes! I actually have quite a few things set up that way. Mostly because I work with medical records and like security.

Yes! I have always argued that with my family. I can relax, even close my eyes for a break, but I just don't expect to fall asleep. The quiet time is still refreshing.
