I did five major errands today to get my mind off how weird I was this week.

I needed to function in the real world.

After all that I'm too tired to cook, so I got a couple of rotisserie chickens at the store, as well as an heirloom tomato, some fresh basil, and some fresh mozzarella for a caprese salad.

That would be neat neat neat sleepie

Hahaha Dee!

They are... 60? And still going strong... we have Patti Smith tickets already...! Months ago we got them. I am not sure I will go though because I am fearful of anyone a little political as people can just be silly and all the shootings we have over here make me fearful.

I mean we had a shooting at Amy Schumer's "Trainwreck" when it was out and that was just a comedy film...?

It was not in my city but still... not good.

Weird? How? Tell us a tidbit of weird, please.

OMG, I need to stay the hell off facebook..

Gilmer

In a way I feel like I'm just coming out of it. I am really loath to relive it!

I got really livid about something because I felt unjustly personally attacked. Then I calmed down mentally, but my body went into a highly uncharacteristic panic attack.

It took a couple days to settle down.

In the process I am weaning off of coffee, too.

Meanwhile I find that there are certain circumstances I need to stay a million miles away from.

It was a situation that blindsided me totally; I had no clue that I was emotionally invested in any way. I thought it was all cerebral for me.

Live and learn, I guess!

I sorry Gilmer
I insomnia tonight. Impress me not. Sleeping pills no help. It'd 330 am. Zombie soup eats me. Hopefully warm full belly sleep helps.

sleepie

Deilza... I don't mean to be rude... but why are you talking like Yoda up there?

Delizadee

Sleep cometh far too late for me. Trying to transcend yoda very groggy?
I wake reluctantly.
So much cleaning to do today.

sleepie

lol

Welcome to my life for the last... year and change!

I often think of "Fight Club" when Ed Norton is describing never sleeping as life becomes a copy of a copy of a copy...

sleepie

I have noticed, and maybe it's in my head... the 2 times I was well rested this past year I actually looked younger. I mean it was like I got a face life just from sleep. Weird but that's how it is now I guess.

I just discovered a bath bomb someone gave me nearly a year ago as a gift... so I am off to a warm bath and comics la dee da...

courage2

Bath bomb? Sounds like something I should know about.

I wish sleep could rejuvenate me. It just makes me look like a puffy hag instead of a gaunt one.

Gilmer, I'm sorry to hear about your episode of shock and awe. Sounds like time for a mental getaway -- Hebrew, anyone?

I hope my next job can accommodate my sleep schedule.

sleepie

LOL omg courage

Hi Trach. This week's dirt soup's almost on the stove...

I am spoiled today, after my surprise bath bomb, and my BF bought me a 5 dollar jar of peanut butter omg... it's so freaking good. I don't even like the stuff but for this particular brand.

courage2

I'm here. Today everything was clicking right along & then I went out w/husband to run errands and had a fainty/trembling spell. Very uncharacteristic. Did not make me a happy sober girl. Or bunny, hag or whatever.

sleepie

Low blood sugar perhaps?

courage2

Just one of those things. If it happens two more times before Friday I'll make a dr appt. Maybe. I figure if I never see a doctor, they can't prove there's anything wrong with me. And if there's no proof, it doesn't exist, right? Like God.

sleepie

Well I have employed magical thinking for years and it has worked.

But your way is good too.

trachemys

Peanut butter. The Staff of Life.

Gilmer

I eat it by the spoonful!
