[Kitsune06]

See what you started! I was sitting here reading every post I could, trying not to think about the Peeps. I'm in my jammies but I was seriously thinking of getting dressed and heading to the store to buy some so I could put them in hot chocolate. I compromised and settled for the cocoa alone. (with tiny marshmallows of course) I'm so wired right now, I can't even close my eyelids. I know better than this. It's right before bed time. What was I thinking? I tend to have strong reactions to things. (Nyquil totally winds me up.)

Ah, heck. I think I'll go back to reading posts since I'm obviously not going to be able to sleep for a while. I really kinda miss blinking though. (sigh)

Do us all a favor and don't try under the counter drugs or Red Bull. I wish I could get wired that way without my heart doing that weird irrhythmia thing the way it does when it gets caffiene.

Lise- Thinking good thoughts for you. Thinking about burning PITA's things, too. I can feel the warmth already. Oh, wait, it's the office space heater.

I hope DG is feeling better. I haven't heard from her since she left for work...

Yeah, I occassionally get the racing heart too. Oh, you meant from caffeine? Yeah, then too. Another reason I don't drink coffee. Never been in a Starbucks in my life!

Maybe you should call her and make sure she's ok. I'd be worried sick if I were in your shoes. Course, I wouldn't have drank like that either. (I'd have passed out long before that.) How are you feeling tonight? Get any sleep today? Ever figure out where your shirt ended up?

[Kitsune06]

How is it that reading your post, it sounds like it's said quickly and with hardly any pause for breath? Breathe in, breathe out. slow. Don't hyperventilate. Yah, I meant from caffiene. Caffiene gives kind of an icky feeling when used as a stimulant etc.

I tried calling DG, but she hasn't answered. I'm assuming she came home and went to sleep immediately, in which case she'd be p*ssed if I woke her up, however concerned I was. She always tells me she's stronger and more self-reliant than I act like she is and I needn't worry so much but... *shrug* I worry anyway.

She's probably fine, and with two whole hours left in my shift, I don't want to start worrying too much...

I'm feeling ok now. I slept for a couple hours, got up, drank some water, had some Hammer gel, visited the neighbors for money won during a bet, my shirt and the djimbe. Took said money and bought greasy burgers for lunch to make myself feel better...

Much warmer now.

Toasty warm.

Feel the nice heat.

Did I mention I'm warm now?


(gotta love wooly long underwear!)

[KnottedYet]

Happy Birthday, Nanci!!!!

[Kitsune06]

Um... Good luck with that, Knot.

Nanci- Happy birthday! Wishing you the best of luck with herps and slitherins

edit
ARGH Xrayted- now I'm all worried about DG and she's still not answering the phone... she must just be asleep. I'm gonna freak out so bad if I drive home and she's not there...

Watch out for moths. I used to love my Stil-longs, wooly underwear from the 70s, and my ProTogs wool T-shirts from the same era. But time and moths have a way with wool. The stuff still works, just have a little bit of ventilation.

Ug. It's 12:45 am and I'm trying to stay away a little longer working on a proposal. Wish I could turn in the short version: "Dear NASA. I need funding. You know I do good work. So why not." But there's that darn peer review process.

[Xrayted]

Ah, sorry Kit. I'm sure she's fine. I didn't mean to plant that in your head. She's probably just sleeping it off like you said. After a night and day like she had, I wouldn't hear the phone either. (and I wake up over every little sound) When you get home, you'll find her quietly drooling into her pillow. Now doesn't that sound better?

Knotted - glad you're among the living and warm blooded again. I'm all bundled up too. My nose is cold though so I guess that means I'm healthy.

[Nanci]

It's not my birthday till November 18th...I'm just planning ahead. But thank you! I'll go back and read it again!

I love stale Peeps, too. You have to slit open the package and then forget about them.

Isn't that cool how they used to only have them for Easter, but now they have them for Halloween, too??

Three day work week this week!

I am wearing the world's ugliest sweater. It is part of my Super Star costume. I have to take it off- it's just so bad...

Knot- do you ever sleep??? What are you doing up??

[Bikingmomof3]

I thought that only applied to cats.

"Dear NASA. I need funding. You know I do good work. So why not."

I just read this to DH (who is constantly writing proposals) and he loved it. He says it would indeed make life so much easier and free up a lot of his time from writing and reading proposals and give him more time for research.

Sorry you forgot about the time change.

[Nanci]

I hate the time change. Takes away an hour of the tortoises' grazing time.

I forgot to change the timers on my timed lights. When I got up, Mr. Toad was sunbathing under a heat lamp that's not supposed to come on till daylight, and Milly was wide awake!

I hope the guy in Colorado checks his e-mail nice and early...

Actually, that sort of used to work. You still had to write a proposal that had merit and got some descent peer reviews. But you got funded because the people who controlled the money knew what you could do. Now the funding is so tight that it's really cutthroat.
