Sleepy-day meme, and birthday.

[saxikath]

First: happy birthday qaqaq!!

Second: For some reason, I feel just clobbered today. I don't know why; I've gotten reasonable amounts of sleep in the past few days. But I just feel wiped. I was wondering earlier if I was coming down with something. I don't think so, but man, I can barely keep my eyes open.

Third: A theater meme, from greenlily.


Note: I've taken out the orderings, because in most cases I don't really have a top favorite.

Both qarylla and I are the same way today. Both beyond crashy...

Do you have allergies? Mine are really acting up the last couple days. I looked up local allergens, and mold spores are very high. Allergies can really make one tired even if one is not having other symptoms (sneezing etc).
