You can spend your entire life cowering, or you can get up. Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!
I am often surprised at the versatility of my own body, even now when it is at an all-time low.
In a confluence of factors, I slept last night for approximately 30 minutes at a time, perhaps less. Technically, I got 6 hours of sleep, but my allergies woke me time and again. I’ve been too busy to wash my bedding, and yesterday evening’s unproductive coughing made me feel like I had pneumonia without the whole “horribly sick” thing.
The amusing thing was that I got the idea to pound my pillow case a bit to shake out any icks, and that seemed to help. I’m just amazed because I’ve gotten very little sleep lately, and yet the rapid-fire power-nap last night was acceptable.
I’ve reached the point where many decisions need to be made in very quick succession. Must gather enough credits to graduate, must get moving on the Pablo Davis video project, must organize my work life, must organize and pack my home life, must arrange to pay for and get keys for my apartment (I’ll be at work until at least 7 that day).
For this semester, I will be juggling so many balls, it will look like I’m spinning a flaming-red hula-hoop. I’m going to whine, and I’m going to want to slack off, and when that happens, I need you fine folks to keep me going. I think I can pull this semester off, but not without the loving support you all are so adept at providing.
Have dust mite allergies? might need to get one of them allergen barriers for your pillow and bed.
Definitely a consideration. I haven’t found them in person yet though, and I’m pretty picky about material.
Target carries them, i’m pretty sure. i’d assume Walmart and Meijers should too.
They go over the pillow, under the pillow case. (or over the matress, and under your sheets). I don’t know how they work with matress pads. probably over the pad. *shrugs*
dont forget to remind him they are easily destroyed when asshat sig others jump on the bed to pop the air bubble.
I dunno, I had to get a good running start before I pounced.
I have yet to buy a new one because of that.
wow, it’s been at least 3 years. You may safely buy a new one, I’m pretty sure I won’t be pouncing your bed again.
lol not what i meant.
:-P
Air bubble? How do these work? I’m frightened it will turn my entire bed into a “Nike Air Jordan” now!
It encases your whole mattress. Sometimes air gets trapped in between the layers. If you lay down on the bed slowly the air has time to bleed out. If you jump on it, the whole thing bursts and you’ve wasted $70. It is worth it thou.. Works wonderfully. I just haven’t got around to buying new one since the last one was only around for about 2 weeks.
Oh wow, how fun! All the zest of exploding a paperbag, multiplied by several hundred….
It’s a cover for your matress.. when you pu your sheets on your bed, they’ll sometime have an air bubble that is easily flattened. Well, the allergen barrier was a little more airtight that a regular sheet. And I was in a silly mood, I suspect.
Are we still allowed to give pre-emptive love and support – before you’re all stressed out and such?
‘course :)
(starts frantically googling for instructions on how to crochet jock straps)
ahhh, loving support!
There’s a pattern for a knitted bikini in the book Stitch ‘N Bitch. With some modifications…. ;)
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?
You can do it put your ass into it. Ice Cube said it best, tho, I think. If I see you reeling haphazardly through the halls I will duck, er..catch you. Peace out homeslice
