Communication Breakdown

1.

Sleeping nowadays is a lot like being awake, in that when I open my eyes I seem to have spent the entire time mentally going over lists of things we need to buy, or move, or remember to tell the baby nurse. Only much less efficiently than I would have done awake, because they're interspersed with dreams where I introduce my prenatal instructor / lactation consultant to my mother as Barbara Luke, & am then mortified when I can't remember her real name at all.

On the first show, halfway through 'Small Car', much to our surprise the studio was invaded by Radio Student's newsgirls, who proceeded to cut the song off & start an unscheduled bulletin while we grabbed our things & made a quick, confused exit!

It makes me proud to know that my constituents take an active role in our government by corresponding with me, & I look forward to responding to your concerns in greater detail. In the meantime, I just wanted to let you know that your e-mail has been received, & to ask for your patience until I send you a more detailed response.
          Again, thank you for writing. Please feel free to visit my website to follow my work in the Senate & to learn more about the services my office can provide to you.
