So, it looks like things are getting back to normal for lizard and I.

my job has finally gotten back to normal stress levels, and lizard sounds much better. We're talking to each other normally again, and we aren't so grumpy.

Now, I just need to get more sleep.

For the moment, I am off to the gym. For the first time since before xmas holidays, I'm actually leaving work on time. Hopefully, later this week I'll be able to slip out early.
