It’s 3:45 and I can’t sleep. I have a crazy head cold, so I took some baby-gestating-approved Sudafed to try and get some relief. But Sudafed always affects me this way– it works great for the cold but then I just cannot sleep and so I am exhausted but awake.
Anywho.
There’s not much on at this time in the morning.
I’ve got on some show called “Whale Wars.” The tag line for the show is “Whale Wars: Some things are worth dying for.” Have you seen this shit? I mean, I love me some preeetty whales and all, but this is INSANE. I just watched two “Sea Shepherds” board a Japanese whaling ship, speaking no Japanese, trying to disable their harpoon.
The way they just swung on to that ship…
It reminded me of something…
Seriously, though. It reminds me of a line from an old Indigo Girls song I love…
“There must be a thousand things you would die for, I can hardly think of two.”
I would die for my kids… aaaaaand that’s about it.
I do love the planet, and the animals, and all that crap. But I’m sure as hell not going to fling myself on a full-speed whaling ship full of heavily armed folks whose language I can’t speak to save a damn whale. It’s little thing I like to call… common sense?
I dunno. I guess I applaud their passion.
What are you passionate about?
(Right now I am feeling fairly passionate about getting some sleep. Don’t Sudafed and Photoshop, people. You heard it here first.)

I know I would for sure die for my kids, but since I’m an act first and ask questions later kind of girl, its quite likely I would die for other things as well, like animals about to get hit by a car or people I don’t know. I am just wired that way, I guess. Which probably means I need a better life insurance policy. Huh.

Oh man pregnant and sick stinks. I had a killer cold last year at this time that I needed an inhaler to breathe. That was fun. Or not.
My doctor had told me I could take any otc medication EXCEPT Sudafed. So I got me some Nyquil (Doctor specifically mentioned I COULD take it…I was shocked, but happy). See if you can take some, or tylenol pm.

First off, we are also sick in my house. Phooey.
Secondly, thanks for the johnny depp fix. It makes me feel all twitterpatted and almost heterosexual.
Third, I LOVE that indigo girls song. And thanks for any indigo girls reference because it helps me feel restored in my lesbianism.
And finally, before Khubz, I had lots of things I would die for. Now? Just her. I’m sure we’ll add the Bean in a couple months here but that’d be it. I’ve got preexisting obligations that I need to be around for, you know?
miss you!
