I think your Grandma is *cool*.

GOOD LUCK with the work mess. Sorry you're in the midst of it. *hugs*

Thanks, babe.

Sorry about the suckitude.

Wednesday was the new moon, FYI. Low energy point. I've been having trouble getting going recently too, but I think there are other reasons as well.

What does the new moon have to do with energy? (Serious question, I'm curious).

Thanks for the sympathy.

Ever heard that bit about full moon madness? How hospital emergency rooms always get busier around the full moon? It's harder to sleep. The "energy" is up. If you think about the fact that the moon has a pull on the tides and that we're mostly made of water, it makes a very non-scientific kind of sense.

When the moon is new, it's the reverse of that.

Waxing moon is a good time for new endeavors.
Waning moon is a good time for turning inward, releasing.
Full moon is when the Goddess is at the height of her power.
New moon is a good time for quiet contemplation, divination, turning inward.

Interestingly enough, my period is pretty much in synch with the new moon.

I forget, have you had the sleep things examined by a doctor?

Also, sounds like a fantastic movie for people to riff in the theatre.

Neurologist discussion, sleep study (normal), original attempt at Provigil a failure due to my sensitivity to medication (this attempt a reserved success).

Low-functioning thyroid condition known & in treatment. Other various medical problems never mentioned in connection with having an effect on sleep.

Also, sounds like a fantastic movie for people to riff in the theatre.

It's BEGGING for MST3K treatment.

You should have heard the review it got on NPR this morning.
