Zombie

I waaaaaant sleeeeeeeeeeeep.

I'd settle for brains, since I seem to be short on those as well, but sleep, my goodness, SLEEEEEEP.

I've reached a stalemate with some technical questions at work, and I'm stuck waiting for responses from a few people. If it wouldn't be such a poor idea around the office, I'd just put my head down on my desk and nap.

O sleep! O gentle sleep!
Nature’s soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down
And steep my senses in forgetfulness?

Except it will, just not ENOUGH. Sleeeeeeeeep...

There are donuts in the break area. I'm so tempted to give myself a sugar high just to get myself going! Bad CJ! Bad!

Braaaaaaains?

At my current level of functioning I am completely zombieproof!

You should totally market that. I think there's cash to be made in the zombie-proofing business.

The apocalypse is coming! Ask your doctor if CJSMITH'S PATENTED ZOMBIEX is right for YOU!

A nice cocktail of gabapentin and duloxetine ought to be a good start. Take with a full glass of Everclear, preferably after a meal. Dizziness warning and all that wimpy bla bla bla.

If I could give you some of mine, I would.

Ooo, you have extra? :-)

[tiger-spot.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, yes. It's not good for me.

Bummer! I suppose building a six-pack-a-day caffeine habit is probably not the greatest workaround, huh?

The problem is not staying awake, it's becoming awake in the first place. It's nice to have the occasional sleep-till-noon day, but I really don't want more than one of those in a given week.

Ah well. Once I get this volunteering thing going, I will have somewhere else to be on the weekdays I'm not working, and that will help a lot.

(singing softly and sweetly, after giving CJ a hot cup of SleepyTime with lemon and honey)

"Lullaby and good night
With roses bedight
With lilies bespread
Is CJ's wee head
Lay thee down now and rest
May thy slumbers be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest
May thy slumbers be blessed"

Thanks! That must have worked, because I sure slept better last night. :-)
