jaunthie | Sometimes there's too much empathy

fisherbear and I have both been on deadline lately. Fisherbear even went so far as to pull an all-nighter last night (again. This is getting to be a habit with this contract.) He is, quite understandably, pretty darn zonked now.

And I, too, am flattened, despite NOT having stayed up all last night. Yes, I went to bed rather later than I should have, and yes, it's been busy, but I swear there was a good chunk of the day where *I* was more tired than he was.

It's just part of the territory, I guess. He sometimes gets cramps when I do. If I get sick, it's fairly certain that he'll wind up feeling like crud, if not get sick himself - and to a lesser degree, vice-versa. When he gets silly, I get giggly. It's just part of being a pair, but it doesn't seem quite optimal, somehow.
