Chicago Tales #1: The Case of the Strange Stand-Up Sleeping Coma

On our first night in Chicago, my Sister woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me to get in the bed. I was apparently standing up next to the bed, but I was bent in half and my head was laying on a pillow! I don't remember doing that. Apparently, even past that moment, all I could manage was barely crawling in the bed, without covers (a Keebs no-no), to finish out the night. What happened to get me to that moment is STILL a mystery! The night before we left, I stayed at my Sister's house to make it easier to leave (her town is closer to Memphis than mine and I wanted to leave my car at my house). So I started the night before in a strange bed anyway, and I never sleep good away from home. For that matter, since I've slept on the couch for years anyway, I'm not really used to sleeping in a bed. We stayed up late chatting and watching TV, so I probably didn't get much sleep from the get-go, but I took my meds and slept as normal when they kicked in, ev...

Still here (I think)

Work has been so nuts, I haven't had a moment to think, let alone breathe! I don't do anything when I leave work, other than watch TV and sleep, so pretty much everything else has been out of the question, especially blogging and catching up with everyone else. I apologize to everyone! Hopefully, by at least February (when this whole big work project is finished), I will be back to normal, but until then, life will just suck! I did go to Chicago with my Sister a couple of weeks ago for a couple of days (she had a conference), but I have done nothing more than move the pictures from the memory cards to the computer. I haven't edited a single one (and probably won't until February either). There were lots of total Asper shenanigans in Chicago, especially since I had about two days to wander the city alone (yep, you read that right...I wandered a city alone!), and hopefully I can share a few of the stories between now and then, because some of them are pretty funny ...
