Barb. Don't worry about having the fic up by Halloween. I don't think I'll be ready either. It doesn't necessarily have to be on the holiday. It doesn't matter if it's a scary/spooky story. Just as long as it's finished, that we are satisfied with it, and will hopefully have readers who are satisfied too.
I hope you got some sleep and some more food by now. Goodness! That's just wrong, the way they're treating you at work. I have another friend that works in a hospital and she gets those kinda days too. Sorry for you both. For anyone that's over-worked.

WW. You keep falling asleep while writing? So, what happens...you dream of an idea for the fic(s) and wake up typing?

Maybe I should give it a try. I seem to mess up a lot when I'm wide awake.

Good luck with staying awake. Don't work too hard on the writing, and go crazy from sleep deprivation.
Later girls!
