My Week So Far
R. Alex Whitlock
This will be the last post of the day, so of course it will be a teaser of sorts. This has been the second most interesting week of the year:

1) I've been averaging over 12 hours of sleep a night, but am always tired. In fact, I had to fight off going to sleep last night till about 10, when I couldn't fight it anymore.

2) I spent half an hour yesterday desperately searching for toothpicks.

3) The headaches came as I expected they would. Not normal headaches like I thought, though. Rather, they come in a flash, hurt like hell, and sometime before I can even open the aspirin bottle, they're gone.

4) Ora and I had a very relevent discussion on the ins and outs of abusing diet pills.

5) I marveled at how Metabolife, this once great giant in appetite suppressants and "dietary supplements" has become yesterday's snake oil, relegated to two small shelfs in the back of the pharmacy.

6) I bought the Metabolife anyway. It seems to be working.

7) I am hungry again for the first time in weeks. At this rate, my stomach will begin to growl soon.

8) I drank a half gallon of orange juice between going to bed last night and waking up this morning. Can't do that again. I'll make sure it's diet coke tomorrow.

9) My jaw is unbelievably tired.

10) With any luck, when I get home tonight, I won't go straight to bed... I'll just end up sleeping all weekend long.

11) At least twice a day, every day, 15 minutes seems like an eternity.

New 12) I have had a non-stop fever all week.

Anyone want to take a stab as to what is going on?

(Answer tomorrow, I'm going to be hard-pressed to get everything done and when I get home, there's a good chance I'm going straight to bed.)

UPDATE: Let me clarify something. I know what's going on. I'm curious to see if you guys can figure it out. I'll give a brief answer tomorrow and then a full one over the weekend, in between naps, of course.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
