I’ve passed the euphoric and silly state. Now I’m just a zombie. I’ve been trying to get up to walk around for ten minutes now and I can’t seem to will my body into actually moving. How the hell do doctors pull these double shifts with little to no sleep and still manage to perform surgery? I don’t know if I could be trusted with a butter knife to spread peanut butter on toast, let alone surgery.

I am so overwhelmed by the generosity of my sponsors. So far I have a total pledge amount of $1477.30. I can’t believe it.

As you likely know, I write over at PittWatch where I report news and share photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It was Angelina Jolie who really made me sit up and pay attention to the UNHCR several years ago, made me realize what the organization does for refugees, and it’s because of her that I’m doing Blogathon for the UNHCR. Because of that, I nervously posted about it over on PittWatch, worried I’d get blasted for putting something like that on a celebrity fan site. Instead, I got encouragement in comments over there, emails, and comments here. And with the incredible number of readers over there, my pledge total shot almost five times higher than I had three years ago. I could not have asked for this and am thrilled beyond belief.

Thank you for your pledges, and thank you for the comments, everyone.

I have one hour left. The support has helped me get through 23 hours, and it will help me through this last one.

Now I’m going to force myself to get up and walk around a bit.
