Not doing well on the fibromyalgia front this week. Not doing well at staying awake and alert long enough to both get things done that need to get done, and also have time to feed myself. Keep trying to stretch just a wee bit farther before crashing (because there are things I want to do, as well as the things I need to do), and am starting to think that's the wrong approach for now. Going to see whether I fall asleep now, 'cause I'm currently feeling too crashy to do anything major and not alert enough to deal with anything small-but-important-and-potentially-costly. Got a bunch of URLs gathered for a "link sausage" entry once I feel awake enough to edit it ... maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, maybe the weekend. Need to find energy to practice recorder tunes, and work my sleep schedule around to being able to make it to final two rehearsals and Sunday's performance, but at this point all of that is a distant second to managing to be aware enough of time-of-day to avoid having my car ticketed or towed tomorrow (street cleaning day). Quite frustrated at my body's non-cooperation with my plans for the week so far.

Just so this isn't a complete whine-post, here, have a funny (and this way I can shorten the already longer-than-usual link-sausage by one). Put down your soda/coffee/water and go read "Viva La Roombalucion!", a tale of two felines and a wee robot.

And if anyone caught Maureen Dowd's line about why she doesn't use the word "hate" to describe how she feels about politicians, on last night's Late Late Show, please email me. I wasn't taping it, I hadn't been paying attention until then (I think I changed to that channel moments before she said it), and I want to get the phrasing right to use as a future QotD. (Anybody Tivo it?) Thanks.
