Be alert---the world needs all the lerts it can get
The other day, Publix had some energy drinks on sale, brand name "Power Trip"---I don't usually do energy drinks, but given the week I was having, I snagged a couple just in case. Didn't get around to trying them then, thanks to a/c at J's to help keep me perky.
Today, though, I could take a siesta with very little encouragement. Except that would undo the good work of the last week, resetting my sleep schedule. So to counter the 4PM fade, I cracked one of them. It's Mmmango flavored and has definitely cut through the worst of the cobwebs. Good shit, must get more.
The week with J was a challenge. The big things, like getting up and going back and forth, were a stretch, but it was the other stuff that made me glad the week is over: the less-than-comfortable chair I was in, her choice of background noise, the difference between her definition of a tantrum and mine (Seriously, I barely cranked it to 'rant', let alone full-on tantrum.) and the fact that me being on the computer with a movie playing on TV is apparently NOT done in her presence.
Usually the TV is on in another room---I consider myself very lucky when they're both in the same place at the same time. But then, I've also routinely crafted during prime-time for ages. Apparently, though, less-than-total concentration on the movie sets J off. Who knew?
Got somewhat caught up on Harry Potter: I hadn't seen "Order of the Phoenix" or "The Half-Blood Prince"...funny, considering in the early days, I saw the first couple films on Opening Day (at the midnight show). Meh. I tend to be annoyed by gaps---I know they have to leave bits out, but what's left sometimes seems rather fragmentary.
Oh why did Ahab have to turn into such an asshat? Right now, I'd *love* to be able to float in his pool til sundown.
