Horizontalness: 4 hrs. 32 min. 12 sec.

I have no idea when I will close on the house.  I'm considering myself "on call" for the closing after I told my agent that I would fly to Zimbabwe or cut off my left arm or whatever needed to be done in order to close before next Wednesday.  

All that is with the stipulation that I do not die of heart failure between now and then.

The panic set in on Tuesday and I decided to eat.  [See post here]  Wednesday got worse and I just happened to have an open and full bottle of Louis Jadot Red Burgundy.  I went to a friend's house and proceeded to drink.  And I also took a couple of their dollars playing Greedy.  :)  

After much wine, I decided I'd better crash on the couch instead of on the road.  So I woke up this morning very un-refreshed but sober after listening to two dogs snore, a bird tweet, and a fish tank gurgle all night long.  

In the morning I got up and promptly left....left my make-up and important papers on my friend's counter.  Luckily I noticed and was able to swing by and pick it up on my way to Louisville.  So I sat in the front yard and applied make-up to my groggy and shadowed face.

Upon arriving in Louisville I visited the ladies' room where I quickly noticed that despite my weary face my make-up looked better than it normally does!  So I guess I'll be finding a yard to put apply my make-up every day.  

Even better, if I ever close on the dad-gum house I'll have my own yard!

I've digressed.

After one night of eating myself into an oblivion, and one night of drinking myself into an oblivion, there really wasn't much else to do tonight to take my mind off things.  So I decided to go for a personal best of the longest time spent horizontal after a day's work.  

That's right folks...tonight was 4 hrs. 32 min. 12 sec. spent on the couch.  That is a full 2 min. 8 sec. longer than my current standings!  Wow!  I should call my mom and tell her about the good news...um...but am I emotionally capable of handling what she might say to me?  ;)
