And now, because it's been so long, I will bitch a little about not getting enough sleep.
I've been trying. Trying hard. And I got a really good, "healthy" amount last night. So why was I feeling like roadkill all day? My eyeballs felt like dry-roasted nuts. I was desperately sleepy to the point of poor motor function all day long. It was painful, people, painful.
Is it a cumulative effect? One night of eight hours does not make up for all the nights before it with not-quite-enough?
It's something I've noticed: eight hours of sleep is a bad number for me. If I get six or even four, I feel better the next day than if I'd gotten eight. Nine is optimal; at nine I wake up naturally feeling refreshed and alert. But I never get nine. I try, but I can't pull it off.

I just had the pants scared off of me. We had all just retired to our rooms for the night when Gina came banging on our doors. I found her and Peņa gaping out of the window. My heart stopped a second when I saw the blazing inferno that was once 77 Hudson, a condo-to-be that I pass every day on my walk home from the PATH. The entire top of it was in flames. I had a serious 9/11 flashback, my throat went dry. Thank god, I don't think anyone could have been up there at this time of night.
We went downstairs to gawk at it with our neighbors. That's some seriously scary shit.
(Early news report here.)
Gina just got called out as a Red Cross volunteer to help the people from surrounding buildings who are being evacuated. They say they're evacuating everyone within a 2-block radius. We're just out of range.Labels: fire nightmares tonight
