Enough with the memes #1

I should really step in here and assert my humanity a little. I feel so ragged, sleep has been a huge problem lately. Two hours here, three hours there, I'm always tired. Forget real stuff like cleaning etc, I'm usually too lethargic to do my usual online activities. I need to get in to get the teeth cleaned, but I'm afraid of missing the appointment due to extreme fatigue. Oversleeping is actually one of my biggest fears, and it's probably one of the reasons I've had trouble sleeping, and not just lately (it's just been very acute recently).

Other news: A week or so ago I went to my favorite (and only local) chinese buffet place. This time I way overdid it, and actually got myself feeling pretty sick. So much so, that when I was at the checkout of the grocery store I'd gone to afterwards I was praying I wasn't going to lose it and flash right there. (Mainly because I dreaded the fuss I'd have to endure.) I made it to my car, but I had that "pre-puke" saliva thing going, and I had to stop and rest leaning on my car. A woman was coming over and asked if I was allright, and I said yes because I'd had a few seconds to rest. I would have been highly aggravated to hurl at any point, because I'd paid for that food dammit, and I really didn't want to leave it anywhere until it had been processed and was ready to come out the other end. The drive home was fun, cramps, indigestion and what have you. But falling down flat on my face and passing out in my own bed was awesome. I didn't eat my fortune cookie for a couple days, but when I finally did the fortune said "You will awarded some great honor". I'm holding onto that little piece of paper as if I'd won the karma lottery and my life depended on keeping possesion of it.
