Blah blah blah. That is my niece's signature sign-off. It seems to fit appropriately today as my brain goes in many circles, none of them even remotely interesting to me. They might have some zing if I let them hang around long enough. Unfortunately I have Grown-Ups disease...all I can think about is having uninterrupted sleep.

Last night poor Jojo the Shih Tzu threw up in the middle of the night. She was up at 3 and 4 and 5...this morning we took her to the vet and she is there as we speak being intravenously flooded with missing fluids. Bella sits here happy to have us all to herself. You get my drift, sick puppy=fragmented sleep.

The other nights I can only attribute to the aging process since I don't drink caffeine and I haven't been doing speed. I get to sleep ok but can't seem to stay there. Turning 38 in less than two weeks, it probably shouldn't surprise me.

Next thing ya know I will be taking Evening Primrose Oil like my dear not-so-old mother-in-law!

Back to matters at hand...my meeting. Went well. I really like this woman and am thrilled to meet someone with a literary bent that recognizes my innate brilliance. But seriously folks...she inspred me, which is hard to do these days. I floated through my restaurant shift and didn't take one thing seriously all night. A good sign.

Today is staff meeting day...can't wait to see what they have to say today. These monthly meetings convene under the guise of communication in two directions, but it usually involves the management telling us what they want and then leaving no time at all for anyone to pipe up. Fabulous. Can you tell I'm over it?

On the other hand, each meeting ends with a wine tasting. We sip bottles that we wouldn't usually have access to from the wine list and so many of them are really wonderful. I don't drink much but I like to know what is what for those times when I do tipple.

off to bathe the remaining puppy...lucky dog!
