  Em, I'm sorry to hear about the strike! That really sucks, but maybe it won't last long. I mean, if SBC came to the table last night, that means they're desperate to keep their employees, right? So, maybe they'll step up negotiations and get everyone back to work before the week is out. Fingers crossed! My insomnia is getting worse. Last night I did manage to sleep, but then I dreamed hard all night and woke up more disoriented than usual. Again, the alarm was going off and I kept trying to turn the radio up to make it stop, which obviously doesn't work since they are two completely different pieces of machinery.
In the night, I dreamed I was eating a taco and then later we were at the grocery store buying bananas and we were making fun of them because they were so small. The bananas were the size of carrots, and we were making all kinds of crude jokes, because, let's face it, while bananas are tasty and nice, they are also quite phallic and require mocking on occasion. The funny thing is that I've been watching "Fight Club" while I get around in the morning. I don't think I'm too far away from making soap...;)
