You know you're too tired to be at work when you go to get a $1.50 coffee, pay with a $10 and tell the cashier to put the change in the tip jar. Oy.

And I forgot to relate the shock I felt this morning while watching the news and realizing that the building fire they were reporting on was about four blocks away. In retrospect I had been hearing an awful lot of sirens and helicoptors. Anyway, I don't think anyone was seriously injured, and it was far enough away that it didn't actually affect my life in any way. But it did make me realize how often I assume that the news doesn't have any bearing on me, as if everything happens far away and to other people.
