March 15 Update: No update today due to the hard drive crapping out. Details at 8-Track Mind.

I'm not going to talk in detail about all the drama that's been alluded to in my blog and Lisa's. Everyone involved knows already (or thinks they know). Suffice it to say that friendships are being strained all over the landscape and it all seems spiraling out of control. We've hurt people without knowing how, and we're being hurt and it feels like not enough people seem to care. It's left me irritable and annoyed. I've sent a rather direct email to someone on something I've kept (mostly) quiet about before and I'm sure it's going to bite me on the ass.

The sleeping situation is improving slowly. Not the snoring or our hypersensitivity to each other, but we've managed to bury the sofa bed in enough cushions and blankets so that it's possible to get a decent night's rest out of it without having to play contortionist to avoid the IRON BARS OF AGONY. What that means is there is a haven to go to for a rest, and we've had several nights’ solid sleep each. The hypersensitivity is still there -- last night was a bizarre one as we each barely got any rest trying to ensure the other got to sleep -- but we're not exhausted and angry and frustrated any longer. That's a big deal.

We found a queen mattress and box spring on Freecycle as well, and will be picking it up tomorrow. Yay! Thanks for suggesting it ShenShen!

Anyway, with easily available alternate sleeping available, we can work on the rest. Which is good, because I have to say I was frightened. When you can barely see past your exhaustion and frustration to remember you love this person, it's hard to keep your marriage intact. I have the energy to give Lisa all the love she deserves, and her me in return.

Weird. Someone is singing somewhere in my building and it's being carried up through the atrium to every floor. Creepy.

Work is fine. I've been handed some additional responsibilities that I don't entirely understand, but I think I'm making headway. It's a project that no one else wanted to fuss with that ended up on my desk. It's huge and confusing and I'm supposed to make headway of all the data without really understanding it. Oy.

Did I mention last week's pneumonia? Seriously. What appears to have been viral pneumonia filling my left lung with yummy fluid. I'm still hacking up flemballs.

I grin in anticipation at the face you're making at that visual.

I don't know. So much going on when I just don't have the brain cells or energy to deal with it. Can't we save all the drama for when I'm well rested?
