Quote of the Day

"I need that damn drug they gave those monkeys."

-me*, referring to this

*I know it's against the unofficial rules as well as the spirit of Quote of the Day to quote myself, but since I often wake up in the 4am range when our 5 month old wakes up I consider myself in the third person often. There's the well-rested, alert, cognitively able me. That's the me who goes to bed sober at 9pm and wakes up fresh at 7am, ready to tackle any challenge life gives me with a smile and charming comment. You would love love love this man. You would cheerfully give this man seed money for whatever crazy scheme he'd cooked up. Why? Because this man is an achiever. This man makes an appearance randomly once-a-year.

Then there's the normal me. This is the man who gets six frequently interrupted hours of sleep. He's used to this after so many decades and it's nothing a couple of cups of coffee and fifteen minutes of angry, fast music can't fix. 

Then there's the heavily sleep deprived, fully caffeinated me. This man has zero to four hours of sleep and a pot of coffee in him. He's the guy cooking breakfast for his family while his wife sleeps (she needs it), while his three year old bitches about something or other, and while his remarkably peaceful five month old craps his pants. This is the man who said the above quote.
