I haven't been around much lately,

We’re just glad you’re back!

I haven't had a decent night's sleep in two weeks. On a short fuse!

I hope you all get through that as quickly as possible. I don’t sleep all that well anyway, but the last two weeks have been murder for me here.

This morning, though, I woke up and looked at the clock - 08:20, unheard of for me, though now I feel like I’ve pissed away half my day.

At least I’m being productive now.

Good luck with the doc getting your son some better meds.

Okay. Just stay away from other people the best you can, even if it is just the common flu. Especially if you have a fever. If you have a fever, then you have something that other people don't want to catch.

Years ago, we had a dishwasher repair guy show up at the house. First thing he did was puke in my front yard.

“You ok? You need anything?”
“Yeah, I’m ok. I just have the flu.”
“Um, sorry, but get out of my house!”

My health can't manage me not sleeping.

I keep telling them, “I’m too old for this shit,” but they keep ignoring me!

I don't think the doc will change the meds, to be honest. Carbomazepan and Tegretol are pretty scary things, plus two others to help him sleep...it's a very delicate balance.
Anyway - good news is that the missus went to see the doc today. He removed the stitches from the skin transplant and said she could drive again, so let's see if the sleeplessness (and cursing!) were just mood changes.

Good luck to all with the sicknesses. My mum just developed arthrose recently and yes it's in the family. But she's taking it pretty good

That’s at Lowe’s (big box DIY store).

Note to self, don't go to Lowes until after Thanksgiving.

I feel for you regarding your son's night waking. Its a really disturbing and difficult thing to deal with. I'm rubbish (and I mean rubbish) unless I get a reasonable night's sleep.

Last week it was -1.5°C locally...

The weekend is forecast as this!



32°C is 90F and summer hasn't even started yet. My fruit trees are only just flowering.

I saw eggnog in the grocery store earlier this week. It’s still September, for Pete’s sake!
