"So I sleep on it. Literally."

This has been something of a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad week for me. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say that it involves 1 unfinished dissertation proposal, 5 sleepless nights, 2 possible lawsuits concerning defamation of character and/or something called "tortial" something (who knew that was a word?), 1 leaking toilet that will theoretically be replaced by 7pm, 3 incompetent human resources employees, 4 meetings with disgruntled supervisors, and a lot of time on the phone with 1 very friendly customer service representative who can do absolutely nothing to answer the question. And that doesn't even cover tonight's dinner with ex-fundamentalists, planning for Saturday's tailgate, attending a high school play, and critiquing three friends' dissertations, which are not terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad things, but are things that need to be done, along with the laundry, cleaning up the mess in the bathroom from the above leak, talking to the Advisor, and sleeping.

I'm a little worn out. Suffice it to say, this was exactly what I needed this afternoon. Thanks, Virginia!!!
