Anyway, who's got my alibi?
You were here the whole time. Also, you're a nicer person than me because I would have screamed from the bed "Feed the fucking cat!" and gone back to sleep.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So Wide-Awake Tim tries to have an actual important conversation with me, every. single. fucking. time.
My husband does this. He either asks me something complicated as soon as I wake up (like, do you have a headache? I have no idea yet) or if he's awake and I'm asleep, he jumps on any indication that I've woken up, like when I turn over, to tell me something important.

Note to file: Calli should be your go-to for alibis.
Nice!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
"Send me an email, I'll read it when I'm awake." Probably wouldn't work, or would be too hard to articulate while still asleep or groggy.
How about, "Who are you?" Would that get the desired result? Eventually?

Ha, dcp!
I confess that I occasionally used to try have conversations with my DP upon his waking, and just, no. I don't do it anymore. I seem to have an on/off sleep switch, but he definitely has a transition period between asleep and mentally functional.
I did work on the Junk Room yesterday, so writing it here worked. I have more to do and will all week, probs, so... more Junk Room today!

Oh yeah, no, we are Having Words today AS SOON AS I hear his alarm go off. I could be nice, but I'd rather make him to try process a conversation when only 2 brain cells are functioning. Maybe THAT will get my damn point across that if he keeps doing that to me, I will get stabby.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My husband frequently tries to have important conversations with me after 11pm when we're getting ready to go to sleep. Dude, NO. My brain is SHUTTING DOWN NOW. No information can be gotten, no decisions can be made. Anything you remind me of now will NOT BE REMEMBERED LATER so DO NOT BOTHER.

Lincoln's first vice president was named Hannibal Hamlin. No idea if he was also a private detective or a mercenary, but it sounds like he should have been.
How have I never heard of him before? Looked him up in Wikipedia and no mention of his detecting or mercenary activities (although it sounds like he served in a militia while he was Vice President, so there's some potential there) but still pretty interesting. Huh.
Oh, Tep, that is not on. Remember, it's easier to fling out of the solar system than to launch into the sun.

Okay, Tim's alarm is going off. Here we go.
