Mayhem at work; backsliding at home

Today at work was a major fundraiser day for the Friends of the Library. It involves about 1500 extra people in the building over the course of the day, lots of them kids, and quite noisy (for a library). It's fun, but I wasn't in a great mood because Maniac caught me and was ranting about CT for the first half hour I was there. And she has bollixed up a couple of orders she's been responsible for after being 100% wigged out about this grant for which she's ordering this stuff. This is why she isn't allowed to order stuff; we place the orders for her. But those of us checking up on her have been mighty distracted this winter--for good reasons--and she's slipped a few doozies in.

About 3, I was IMing with Beast who suddenly went gonzo--"i cnt rgt now-my bck is killllin rgt now" (we normally actually are dorky about spelling things right)--and since he'd been more or less fine up till then, I was rather concerned. Especially after the last couple of weeks (hospitalized for 3 days, broken tooth, kidney stone while on a business trip). So I left work an hour early. Found him asleep-ish in the recliner, unable to have a coherent conversation (he had gone upstairs and slept ... no, no he had not). Took the clean sheets upstairs, made the bed, nagged him upstairs to lie down. We'll see how he's feeling in another hour; maybe we can salvage the corned beef.

And lest you think the latter scenario is particularly unusual...it's not. Not for the past few months.
