Thank You
So I've rested and now I've had 'breakfast." I'm about about to enjoy what's left of the day. One thing I've learned is that 1. never watch a criminal minds marathon for say 9 hours. It does not help your dreams when you finally can sleep. 2. This will be my last blogathon. The last one I did was 8 years ago when I was 32 and didn't have high bp. Two of my medications have fatigue as a side effect, something I didn't consider. In addition, I can have only a very small amount of caffeine (unless I want my heart to explode which is generally not a good idea). So I want to thank everyone for making this last blogathon of mine a success.
I want to thank everyone who donated (which was quite a few) especially the anonymous donor who decided to "match" contributions (that really did help a lot), everyone who shared the blogathon and pushed it so we could reach donors, everyone who lent their support in terms of keeping us awake and cheering us on in the comments section and on the event page. Of course, my fellow bloggers Corrine Short, Sera, and Amanda (forgive me if I forgot someone) and their wonderful work. I didn't even expect to have fellow bloggers volunteer, so thank you for being there with me in the long dark hours of night.
Together we raised a couple of hundred dollars for Prestun. However, there is still a long way to go. The family still hasn't reached even 1/2 their goal. I had neoblastoma at 6 months old. Hopefully, with our help, someday Prestun will be doing what I am doing this year, which is celebrating my 40th birthday. So as much as I appreciate everything you've done, please continue to try and help Prestun by sharing his mother's updates to remind your friends he still needs our help. If you didn't donate during the 'thon, you can still give to http://www.gofundme.com/prestunthesuperhero .
Thank you all.

In which I discuss Season 5 of Criminal Minds and Yesterday's Traffic
So apparently yesterday I had like 103 hits? and today when I'm staying awake for this thing.....34. Maybe if i want to raise more awareness I should just not blog ever? Or just blog "test" which is what I did yesterday to be sure I could blog from my phone. Who knew that "test" would be such a popular post.
Ahem.
We have hit the point in the evening in which I get cranky. Maybe. It's unconfirmed.
And I'm pissed off my kittens want to play with my notebook but not with me because it's annoying on many levels.
Also Season 5 of Criminal Minds sucks so far-I mean who approaches a CLEARLY unbalanced man with a BOX CUTTER IN HAND? Oh surprise, you got stabbed! Also who in their right mind, never mind a criminal profiler would get stabbed in their apartment and then, you know, NOT BREAK THE LEASE AND GO BACK. Seriously. I get stabbed here, I am not coming back. I may not even come back to the same damn city.

Well my tummy feels a little better
I'm still not hungry and I'm not at all sure why I suddenly felt ill. It's not like I ate anything that could have been that dodgy, but ah well all's well that end's well.
I still have company so the posts are still a bit on the skimpy side. I assure you come 2 am you will get some beautiful posts....most likely about my thoughts about Dr. Reid on Criminal Minds or why I am STILL pissed of about the True Blood Finale (Seriously?!) or catching up on Doctor Who.
Also feel free to to ask or suggest stuff as I'll be here all night. (Oh Monstervision, how I miss you on a night like tonight.)
