Second Verse, Same as the First

The worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to. ~F. Scott Fitzgerald

I was a yo-yo all night last night (in bed at 9, up at 11, back at midnight up at 2 a.m.), topped off by a call from my DH's work at 3:30 a.m. because something went kaplooey and he is the Kaplooey Fixer (among many other titles). I tried going back to sleep, and managed for a very short time until the cat decided it was time for breakfast.

DH and I looked at each other this a.m. and just shook our heads. He said he'd just like one night of 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Yeah, me, too.

Even so, I think I managed a higher total number of hours actually sleeping last night than I did the night before, lol...

===============

The cat isn't entirely certain she likes her new food... I think it's partly due to the consistency (I pureed it so it's really smooth). But, she's eating and not vomiting, so I call it a win.

The dog tells me that she'll happily eat whatever the cat doesn't want.

*G*

Your True Passion is Your Family



You feel the most alive when you are with the people you love. It's really that simple.

You value having family in your life to support you, and you try to support them back as much as you can.



You are a loving and dependable person. And you don't just stop at your family or friends.

Anyone with a good heart is welcome into your circle, and you will treat them like family too.



Hmmmm... yes and no....

That's awful. Is your husband off this weekend? I hope you both get some sleep soon.

Hope things are better soon. Sleep well tonight.

This is pretty accurate.

Your True Passion is Learning
You feel most alive when you are deeply immersed in a subject. You have many intellectual curiosities.
You are a true lifelong learner. Your learning doesn't stop outside of school. If anything, you tend to learn more outside of school!

You have many intellectual interests, and you sometimes feel like you have time for them all.
If it were up to you, you would all spend your time reading, studying, discussing, and thinking.

I hope the both of you can get some much needed sleep this weekend.

Your True Passion is Art

You feel most alive when you are creating or appreciating art. Art truly feeds your soul.

You love expressing yourself artistically, and it's likely that you dabble in many creative activities.

Even when you aren't channeling your inner artist, you enjoy brainstorming and collaborating with others.

You believe the world is what you make of it, and you want to make it as beautiful and interesting as possible.


This is about 75% accurate.

Have a good weekend.

Good grief! I hope you are able to get some sleep soon! My True Passion was learning. About right, too.

I hope you have a pleasing day.

OK....No more Klablooey, no more kitty interruptions... Mr. Sandman needs to haul a ton of his special mix and dump it at your house, sheesh!
I mean...get too much sleep deprived and you end up havning hallucinations! Then again...you're a writer, that might be interesting....?

Anyway:

Your True Passion is Leadership
You feel most alive when you are bringing out the best in people. It brings out the best in you in return.
You love to teach others and guide them. You are very patient(ha ha). Giving back is important to you.

You want to make the world a better place, and you know you can't do it alone. You need a team supporting you.
For you, there's nothing more satisfying than a group of people working toward a common goal. Especially if you're leading that group. ( Me? A leader? Ha! I'd make a better Beta, Never Ever an alpha. Gah! they so do NOT know me)
