Well last night's sleeping went much much better. No chills, no shivering. However, it did take a little while to get to sleep. A little bit of Midori (straight, no mixers) may have helped. I could still use some more sleep though. Good thing I'll be getting that extra hour on Sunday.

Marcus has been, well... difficult when it comes to getting him into bed. I'll give him his evening bottle, he'll nod out on my lap (most likely not finishing the 8oz that we give him) more often than not, and I'll try to put him to bed. Sometimes he'll wake up immediately, and is wide awake, and we end up giving him more of the unfinished bottle, or Colleen tops him off.
Sometimes I have to prepare another bottle, and he'll only go through an ounce or two before dozing out. Then we're wasting 6-7oz of formula! Egads! So now the tactic is to have a couple of 4oz bottles at the ready for the late night top-off. Less waste.

I have to stop at Fallon on the way home tonight... get my arm stuck for blood. Usual CBC with differential, plus another thyroid check. I wouldn't be surprised by now if they found evidence of hyperthyroidism in me. It would explain a hell of a lot.


I'm on my own today on the phones. Thank the Gods Above that they're not calling in every two minutes. It's been very slow and very quiet. (Of course, I've just jinxed it by saying so.) My cohort-in-crime is at a trade show, as is the new guy they brought on to be the company's Director of Operations. Since his arrival here last week, he's been taking a keen interest in how we do things here in Support. So far, I think he's fairly satisfied. Not a bad guy, too.
In essence, the top levels of management are either at this trade show or on holiday. Who's minding the store? There's more of us here, but none of us are really chiefs. I forget who's supposed to be next in line...
In the meantime, since my call levels are low and satisfactory, I'm just keeping my head down, keeping quiet, handling stuff as it comes in.

Mmmm, Doublestuff Oreos...

So, back to the world of dreams...
