The few regulars I might have around here have probably noticed that the quality of my writing and sense of humor have gone down dramatically.  There’s a reason for that - I haven’t been getting much sleep.  Most of it is self-induced, though there was a fair amount of work-related nonsense last week.  Throw in a visit to my morning person son over the weekend (who broke his arm, by the way - good times, that) and some random personal asshattery over this week and you’ve got a recipe for me running on 5 hours of sleep a night for the past few days.

Not good.

Needless to say, my ability to maintain a coherent thought longer than a short sentence has suffered dramatically, as has my wit and vigor.  I wish I could say I have a trough of fresh material to plow through once I get some sleep, but one of the nasty side effects of sleep deprivation is that my motivation is nearly nil and my creativity is even lower.

I’m going to get some sleep tonight, rest assured.  I’m still going to post and limp along here through the rest of the week; I’m hoping to get enough rest this weekend to not go completely insane and actually get some stuff done.  After that… world, watch out.
