(no subject)

Uggghhhh I should be asleep right now. Especially since Jenny is being really nice and letting me off Ella duty completely tonight. She said, "I know you haven't been sleeping well lately even when you do get a chance to sleep, so just take the night off. Go to bed early, put ear plugs in, and I'll take care of Ella by myself tonight. You really need the sleep." I was pleasantly surprised by her offer, and gladly took her up on it. I fell asleep at like 9:15, which is EXTREMELY early for me. Almost unheard of. Then I woke up at 11:30, went back to sleep about 15 or 20 minutes later, then woke up again a little before 1:00. Now it's 2:00 and I'm wide awake. Not good.

For some reason I just can't stay asleep lately. It's been going on for a couple weeks. Ella wakes me up plenty, but even when she's asleep I'll keep waking up and oftentimes have trouble going back to sleep. So that only adds to the sleep deprivation. It sucks.

Oh well. It was really sweet of Jenny to do that. Maybe I'll go take some NyQuil or Benadryl or something to help me go back to sleep. I really want to go back to sleep since I get a break from screaming baby duty tonight. Good thing I get to work from home tomorrow. Otherwise I couldn't take something like that to help me sleep, because I'd have too much trouble getting up early and I'd probably be groggy. But tomorrow I'm just going to do work at my own pace. I'll start a couple hours later so I can sleep. I doubt tomorrow will be a very busy day, so doing that should be fine. If I'm wrong and I end up getting slammed with stuff, I'll just have to work a little bit later and a little bit harder. But I think tomorrow will be an easy day.

I have an appointment with my therapist tomorrow, too. I think I'll just talk to her about couples counseling and that big fight Jenny and I had. That fight is still bugging me, even though we're on pretty good terms now. So I should probably talk to her about that.

Yeah, NyQuil it is. Time to go knock myself out with that. I really need the extra sleep.

Zombies

Lol this guy I work with, who is a little off-beat anyway, is convinced that a zombie apocalypse is starting. Granted, there has been some zombie-like behavior going on lately, including:

- The guy who ate another guy's face off and was unaffected when police first shot him. He just growled at the cops and then kept eating the guy's face off. But then they shot him a few more times and killed him.
- The guy who was arrested for DUI and smashed his own face in then spat blood at the cops. I think that guy was a doctor, too, which makes it seem even stranger.
- The guy who stabbed himself repeatedly and then threw his intestines at the cops. He was unaffected by two cans of pepper spray. There was so much blood that the cops had to be decontaminated.

He mentioned a few other things, like some weird rash outbreak where everyone had to be quarantined (but things of that sort can be explained by real medicine). He also mentioned some other attack, but I can't remember anything about it. I suppose I could go check my e-mail, but it's not exactly important haha. And then of course there are the African zombies he's so crazy about.

Lol I just think it's hilarious that he's so convinced that there's a zombie apocalypse. I was highly amused by the e-mail he sent laying out the details of the "Zombie Outbreak of 2012." This guy is all about conspiracy theories too, so go figure.

I read that they think the face-eating incident was caused by "bath salts." Those things are fucking crazy. People are better off doing cocaine than bath salts. It's way less dangerous. The only thing that makes sense is PCP or some type of stimulant-induced psychosis, like what can happen with bath salts. One article I read said that bath salts are basically fake LSD. Uh, no. They're not. They're a stimulant. They can cause hallucinations, but they're a stimulant. Even if I were still using drugs, I don't think I'd use bath salts. That shit is crazy, and really dangerous. It amazes me that things like that are legal (though not everywhere).
