Crummy night, I was awake every hour at least. It has occurred to me that I haven't really had a bad stretch of sleepless nights since I came on days. I do hope that I haven't jinxed myself here...
Anyway, I did get up and go to see the dentist... everything in fine, except that I need to start paying more attention to the few whole teeth that I have left, the "root exposure" is excessive, he said. In fact, every dentist that I've ever seen in my adult life has said that... some day, one of them might be right. I'm not counting on it, though. And I really felt useless today at work. Worthless, and in the way. And I'm on call tonight, so I was there until 18:30 doing patients... Anyways, back to the not sleeping... the first time that I woke up, I felt that I couldn't breathe at all, like I was drowning, and I woke in a panic. This continued, with varying degrees, until about 04:30, when I fell into a deep sleep that was rudely interrupted by the alarm. And now, tonight, I'm afraid to go to bed... 'cause that's a sure way to get called in. But I may not be able to help myself, y'know... I'm really gravitating in that direction. I just remembered today that I had missed out on wearing my hallowe'en earrings this year 'cause I was sick. That means that I'll have to start wearing my xmas ones early this year, probably right after Now that I'm on days, it seems that more people are asking me about my lack of religion. Many of them have never conceived of the idea that someone might just plain not believe. They have the concept of other religions, other gods, but not of *no* religion. So far, it's just been amusing, and I hope that it stays that way. The look on their faces as they realize that I'm an atheist is amazing... and then, when they realize what an atheist is, the questions that they ask! Of course, I have a lot going for me... almost everyone likes me (and that's all right, 'cause I like almost everyone...) so that makes it less likely that I'll be lynched... Well, OK, I really have to go to sleep now...
thanxgiving.
