Last night turned into a good night. We didn't get a damned thing cleaned or put away, but we had a nice cozy night. Ryan got home from his interview and I was fast asleep, so he woke me up with cuddles and a turtle he'd found in the middle of the road! It was a pretty big turtle, but apparently either a figment of both our imaginations, magical, or the speediest turtle on the planet, bcause Ryan put him out in the backyard for five minutes and he vanished. We searched all over for that thing, and he was nowhere to be found! I was pretty sure Mowgli was going to find it and get his nose snapped off. We watched a little TV (TMNT movie), made dinner (mmm pork chops), and cuddled down with some tea. I've been having trouble sleeping and my back has been killing me, so Ryan made me tea with a Valerian, Chammomile, Catnip mix. Holy cow! It worked wonders. Unfortunatey, in the time it took the tea to take effect we had gotten a little more than cozy...if you've never had sex on muscle relaxers and sedatives it's an interesting experience...hah. I did, however, wake up feeling better than I have in weeks. I also woke up with less sleep than we'd originally anticipated. Had I been able to go to bed two hours earlier as we had planned, the tea would've had sufficient time to wear out of my system, but I hadn't...so I woke up slightly groggy. Somehow the alarm got set to the "radio" setting so I woke up at 4am to Marylin Manson being infuriatingly appropriate singing "Sweet dreams are made of this..who am I to disagree...." You bastard! Ryan sent me to work with a mug full of Yerba Mate and the remnants of the bag to squeeze a mug from on my break. Maybe by then I'll be awake. No WOP'ing today, but I've got the next 2 off before another superdouble on Saturday and (hopefully) getting the baby Sunday! Then we start all over again!

Flight boarding...back to work...
