I got back to New York Tuesday evening, and have been having quite a bit of trouble sleeping since then, despite threatening exhaustion. Last night I dropped off about half-past twelve, and awoke not half an hour later wondering where I was.
At first I remained calm--after all, I just needed to take a quick glance around the room and I'd know exactly where I lay. But I didn't recognize my surroundings, not at all. I opened my eyes wider and stared into the darkness--London? Buffalo? That other place, what's it called?--and eventually began to panic. This memory lapse was lasting far too long to be normal forgetfulness. And then, to my left, barely within my peripheral vision, came the spider. With a body bigger than my fist, and getting closer all the time, all I could do was wait.
Well that's my excuse for taking half a sickie today.

Shouldn't this be in Tim's "Won't make it in today..." thread?
BTW overdosing on vitamin C can be a real bitch.
