Me knows Morrigoon is right. Ally needs a Barnum! In fact, I'm lost ever since my little girl Lab passed away a few years ago. I'm not allowed to have pets where I live now, and it crushes me!!

Yesterday, when I left work, I was so useless and sleepy. I couldn't focus. I went over to my boyfriend's, we ordered pizza, and after dinner, I passed out. I hadn't slept the night before!

I woke up at quarter to two, and he was like, "why don't you please just spend the night with me? You need to sleep!"

So I did. I never spend a weeknight away from home, but I couldn't bear the thought of another night without sleep. And he makes me feel so safe.

Plus, I knew if I drove from Valencia to my house last night, in the middle of the night, down the scary dark road, surrounded by mountains, a quake would hit. A big one. Boulders would chase my car down the highway, until the earth opened up and swallowed me & my hoopty Lois Lane-style. No thank you!

In case you think I'm a paranoid nut ball, please see my panic disorder posts above. You'll come to the conclusion that yes, I am still a ..paranoid nut ball.
