tired. this is going to be a general ramble.

I ended up getting two hours overtime on Christmas Day because seven people didn't show up for work because of the snowstorm. I got two hours extra today because... I don't even know why we were so short staffed today. One person was sick, another is having car trouble, but three of us were on overtime.

Eor has just been reading to me from the BBC site. They did a story on the Magdaline Islands, which is a place we've both had a bit of a fascination with since we saw a band called Vishten who had a fiddler from there, and he looked so much like he could be related to me. Reminded me of my brother, Eightball, really.

Eor also read to me about the history of The Shipping Forecast, and references that have been made to it in literature and songs. And then about the difference between a barque and a barkentine (sp?). I'm sure that I've read about these things in Master and Commander, but I'm never going to remember them.

I'm always complaining that I'm tired, aren't I? I slept better last night then the night before last. Not sure why, but I had some rather violent dreams, and then woke up and fretted about them. Sometimes, apparently, I'm angry, and need to kick someone's ass in my dreams. When that happens there will be someone in my dreams who threatens me so I can do damage on them without compunction. Eor is a little nervous to be sleeping next to me when I tell him about these dreams, later.

So, yeah. Then I was so very tired on Tuesday that I was seriously concerned, driving. As I said, slept better last night, but not sure that my sleep is as productive as it could be. I keep debating about asking for a sleep study. My doctor gave me a referral years ago and I never followed up on it.

I've been reading everyone's posts from over the past week and unable to think of anything I can comment, but glad to see posts from you all.
