How long can a body go without sleeping and/or breathing?

That's my quandry right now...because I've not been able to both, simultaneously, for about a week now, and it's really starting to irk me. And make me quite cross. So I guess it's good for everyone that I'm by myself right now.

Patrick is in Lancaster at the moment; today is his first day, and from the brief e-mail he sent to me this afternoon, he seemed like he was doing okay...the unfortunate thing, though, is the Ramada Limited in Mt. Sterling, KY (where he's actually working...it's just that people have heard of Lexington) is NOT Wi-Fi...which is a bit funny, as he was all set to get his Palm T/X that's Wi-Fi enabled so that he could take advantage of all these hotels he was staying in that did have Wi-Fi. The hotel next to the Ramada has Wi-Fi...Patrick said he was sitting in his parking lot using theirs for a bit...he may try to switch hotels. Not just to get the Wi-Fi, but also to have some of the smaller creature comforts, like a microwave & mini-fridge. I mean, if you're going to be there for a week, you may as well have some semblance of home.

Patrick's Birthday weekend was a lot of fun--lots of cards & money from lots of people (Thank You Notes are on their way!), and Dan, Janet & Rachel seemed like they enjoyed their time here. It was fun to show them Greenville 20 years later--they all thought downtown & the Park was amazing (it is), and that Frodo's pizza is still the same. Except for Rachel. Who didn't remember much. But she was only two when she lived here.

I know this is short, and forgive me. I need to go upstairs & kill the dog that is barking. I think he's doing it deliberately because I'm not feeling all that great, and he knows it annoys me.

(Post Script on the Open House that our realtor said she held this past Sunday--1 couple showed up, and they needed more privacy. *Sigh* Everyone--pray to St. Joseph. )
