Five Things Make a Post, Thursday Edition

[rolanni]

1. Steve is on his way home. Last contact was from “someplace in New York.” First contact was from “above Harrisburg,” and I thought, “Well, he’ll be home in a couple hours, then.” sigh. All these years and I’m still not used to Harrisburg being a loooooong way from home.

2. The auction for the leather-bound edition is live until Sunday-coming! Take a look! Go on, you know you want to…

3. Today’s paycheck from the day-job makes available the news that honest labor pays about $6700 less thus far than setting up as a professional liar. This year, anyhow.

4. Still trying to work the brain down from overdrive. Haven’t had to cope with the full “can’t stop! gotta think!” for…years and years. I wonder if that means that the cpap machine blowing air into my skull is actually, um, working.

. . .and wonders, if so, if that’s what you call your double-edged blade.

5. In service of number 4, above, I’ll be on the couch, reading The Perilous Gard.

The cpap acronym is. . . infelicitous. Glad the object is useful.

Yes, the CPAP will restore your brain. Real sleep does that, and since you no longer come out of deep sleep because you are not breathing, you actually get a night of Real Sleep every night. Soon you will freak at the idea of sleeping without it, and you will surely pack it along to every con. Put a power strip [and/or extension cord] in its spare pocket -- with camera recharging, phone recharging, and CPAP, you need more plugs than you can conveniently find at a hotel.

Re: number 3 it is true that it doesn't pay as well, but comes with that all important health insurance, which is a benefit worth having, given the past year's medical expenses.

Hope that Steve got home ok. Also that machine thing is working right. Waiting for my copy of the Perilous Gard to arrive.

Yay for professional liars! I would love to be able to make it so you could be a full-time professional liar...

(REM sleep is good. REM sleep during the day when one is supposed to be awake and doing things like driving, not so good. From experience, don't sleep and drive. Just sayin'...)
