I got the message…
I more or less survived a 7 hour shift at work…I’m beyond tired right now but the chocolate/sugar I just had will kick in eventually…I was about halfway to the Metrorail station when I realized I had “the Keys” with me (sigh) so I took ’em back and started for the station again, in relative agony…when the quadriplegic woman got on the Bus (it takes me two different modes of transportation and about $10 a day to get to work) my back pain (and my financial misery) suddenly seemed inconsequential…
ADDENDUM–shortly after 10PM (about 10 mins ago) the chocolate/sugar kicked in (rats) so now I CAN keep my eyes open–dammit…guess I’ll be up ’til Midnight (or later) after all…ugh…
