Shut down

SO. Last night I only got about 2.5 hours sleep.

No good story here. I went to bed at 11:00, woke up at 1:30 and could not shut my brain down. Sunday nights are usually a 4 hours night for me. This was weird.

I got to work at 7:45, full of energy. As the day progressed, I could feel discombobulation coming on, slowly, inching it's way into my brain.

Had a meeting at 11:00, during which I was finding it a tad bit difficult to focus.

Ate lunch at my desk while I worked - kept feeling sicker and sicker like I was going to throw up, but was still productive.

At about 1:30, it was pretty bad. I had to meet with Mid America Transplant Services to talk social media at 2:00, so I rallied.

When my coworker and I got there, the rep took us on a tour. I kept feeling lightheaded. Then she took us on a tour of the OR and labs downstairs. We got to see bone grafts. But I misheard and thought they were skin grafts. They looked like skin grafts.

My stomach was in no mood for what I thought I was seeing.

I started to get sweaty and felt faint. Trudged on.

The entire visit, which ended up being really productive and with the most pleasant people, lasted 1 1/2 hours, but felt like much less. ?? We got back to the office at 3:40, and decided to call it a day.

I went home, and proceeded to nap for 2.5 hours.

NAP. I NEVER nap after work. I never have. So this was serious tired, perhaps sickness.

Well, I just got up and feel a little better. Not 100%, as I still feel a little vomity, but I'm not longer dead tired.

It felt weird leaving so early, like I was cheating even though I worked an almost "full" day (minus 5 minutes).

I have a late class tonight, which I hope to get through and not get sick. At least I don't have to present. I'm taking crackers and Sprite with me, just in case.

My sayings

In a recent conversation with a good friend, we discussed catch phrases we use in life, old and new. Some of mine are:

Mama like - to express a very high interest in someone/something(very old - from my college days)

Holy crap - to express amazement (somewhat new, resurrected from very old)

Really.... - to express disdain, judgement. When someone does something insane and you just have to comment.

Nutbird - what I call people who are annoying me

Sugar Hill - substitue for GD in public

Hey Bobby/Hey Whitney - what you call someone who acts like they're smoking crack

To (somewhat) quote LL...

Goin' back to blondie, blondie, blondie
Goin' back to blondie.....yes, I think so.

I'm banking on the "blondes have more fun" saying.

Pics forthcoming.

Good day

Got a ton of work done - am waiting for a slick and funny video to render so that we can post on FB and our blog. My boss came up with a neat way to showcase the new Siteman/KSDK Race For The Cure hat.

RIP Malcolm McClaren - long live punk rock.

Class tonight - hopefully we get out early because I am beaucoup tired.

Here's a little diddy I chose to get me going. Enjoy.
