This time when Jack came back, they put me in the short cubes with the salespeople. The cubes are short so you can look at each other while you work. Fortunately, there's no one in the adjoining cubes, so I don't have to look at anyone ( Read more... )

I dragged myself in at about 1pm today, after having fallen asleep after 6am this morning. Still sleepy, still tired. By all accounts, I should have been able to fall asleep rather easily: I took my Geodon in time, I had gone for a brisk walk several hours earlier, and I had hot cocoa at around 2am.

I just got back yesterday from a short three-day jaunt in Zion National Park with my mom. She paid for the hotel and all.

Not that I can read the screen from the couch, but it's a nice thought ( Read more... )

Even though I've doubled the Trazodone dose each successive night, I'm still not getting the CPAP hours I need. I still wake up and pop off the mask at around 6am, though with the Traz, I'm much less aware of doing so ( Read more... )

I stopped Nile Thacker in the hall at church, told him of my problem (he didn't seem to have known about it before), and today he showed up around noon to take a look. He climbed up, poked around, then went home and got a roll of scrap roof stuff. Not proper shingles, just that shingle material in a 4-foot swath. He nailed and caulked it in ( Read more... )

I broke down this morning and decided to run the water through the cooler anyway. I figured that it couldn't saturate a ceiling that isn't there, and if necessary I could use my numerous seed-starter trays to catch any drips.
