I just woke up... at 4:00 p.m.
I took a sleeping pill in the middle of the night and this is the result. Now I'm trying to put a positive spin on the fact that I've slept through a whole damn day. 1) The only meal I will eat is dinner... I've saved myself from eating a thousand calories by lying in bed until it's practically dusk. 2) The STBE showed up at some point and has been painting the decks, etc. If I'd been awake he would have expected me to help him... as it stands he didn't even know I was home. 3)... any ideas?

5. It's not as though I'm feeling awake and refreshed.
Drugged - that's how I am right now. I'd rather be you!

17. I'd do that but if I rest my forehead on anything I'll fall asleep.
I think I will anyway.

9. Sounds good to me...
saved calories, didn't have to paint, didn't have to fix any food for kids, had solitude, and got over your sleep deficit.

:shrug:

what kind of sleepers do that not that I need that kind of sleep, but geez.

:rofl:

:hi:

Third cup of coffee is brewing though. It might help. :hug:

21. That's good; otherwise I'd have to go after her
with something sharp. If you love her, let her keep her distance. :P

25. Go, m'dear, with the flow. These things happen. Let them happen, and do not
worry about the consequences.

This day will be over, and the next day will follow.

Not to get all Zen on you or anything, but life does work that way.

26. You're right about that. All the same,
I've thrown out the pills. I can't imagine that this day was worth the few hours of good sleep I managed to grab, you know?

And Redstone: is it true you downloaded a ring tone? & was it free? :P

29. You and I will meet some day, I believe that. And when we do, I hope the neighbors wherever
that happens have enough forewarning to take adequate cover.

Unless Mrs R is with me for that meeting. In that case, even their storm shutters won't save the locals.

Therefore, I'd caution you to schedule such a meeting down here, where we're already in the Hurricane Zone, and are therefore unafraid.

A strong propositition, I know, and one which you can decline with NO loss of face or credibility whatsoever. I'm your friend, no matter what.

30. It would be impossible to decline that proposition.
I've felt connected to you since I read your first post. But don't tell anyone. :loveya:
