I'm having one of those "news is depressing me" moments
Edited on Mon Nov-07-05 10:47 PM by Luna_Chick
I know it won't last and I'll be back to my resilient, rabble rousin' self in no time, but it's one of those nights where all the headlines of shit being done by Bunnypants & Friends here and abroad is getting me down. :cry:

Edited for yet another #&*@! typo

2. I'm sorry.
:hug: I'm a little out of it myself. I'm really tired and was hoping to go to sleep early tonight, but can't fall asleep.

6. Mind won't shut off pretty much covers it
Though I feel pretty sleepy, I just can't drop off.

7. Outrage Fatigue describes it perfectly
Thanks for that, doc! At least I know this ailment will have peaks and valleys, but won't be permanent. Not gonna keep this redheaded terror down for long.:hi:

14. Everybody's 'dude' :)
It's an acquired habit from the rock climbing community, that I waaaay over-use, LOL. I'll definitely try the hot chocolate with cinnamon next time I make some. It sounds yummy!
