Susan, that sounds like what my daughter went through as a child. I didn't know what it was and never thought to ask. It was horrible. And it didn't stop until she was probably around 5-6.

peace to Chino - and you and nic and the rest of the furry ones.

Thanks very much, Jilli; sorry I missed your reply.

Quick passage to Chino, and my thoughts with Deb and Nic.

Damn, I really want to hire Kristin to do something. Too bad I got my hair cut or I'd have her put it up.

I'm back from Coach's Clinic. It was from 9-4, with a pizza break in the middle. They brought in a guy who has coached everything from 4 y.o's (at special baseball summer camp programs) through the college level. He was really good - enthusiastic, well spoken, not only completely steeped in baseball, but a near inexhaustible wealth of coaching techniques from the most basic to the most sophisticated. Ya gotta like competence.

I presume JZ and Emmett are out skating (or watching Vin Diesel wrangle kids), but since she left her phone I have no idea when they'll return.

They stopped by the bar, and got in a conversation with this fluglehornist from Sweden, but they still would have been home on time, except then the miniature ship-builder from Ocala came in (he doesn't build miniature ships; *he* is miniature and builds full-size ships) with a one-eyed toucan on his shoulder, and you know he's got interesting stories. Not to mention Buster. The master of interpretive dance who only speaks words without the letter E.

So they're running a little late.

This is not my day. I decided to go to bed early, because I fell asleep watching a movie. So, took drugs and went to bed. Only, my athsma was bothering me, so I got up and got the inhaler. Took a couple of puffs and tried to go back to sleep. Started caughing hysterically. Did the thing where I caugh until I puke and puked all over both pillows, the bed and myself. Lovely. This is one of those days where I wish I was a little kid so my mom would be here to give me hugs and clean it up. As it is, I cleaned everything up, got the sheets in the washer and now I'm headed to the couch to sleep since this is the only set of sheets for the guest bed.

Poor bug! What a rotten way to end the day. I hope Toto and Bastet are nestled up with you.

Yuck, vw. I hope the coughing has stopped. How uncomfortable. Much sleep~ma to you.

Oh VW that sucks so bad. I'm so sorry. Can you throw it all in the washer and just go sleep somewhere else and put it in the dryer tomorrow? :(

Gah. THat sounds REALLY good. I want one!!

I went to a Georgetown basketball game, and played with the pep band (I'm an alum). I felt very old, becuase I was talking to this girl who's a senior...and the people who were seniors HER freshman year? Were freshmen my senior year. Sigh. (Also, she's going to the Diplomatic Ball with this guy who was a freshman my senior year, who I hooked up with at the very end of the year, and have always kind of wished we'd tried that earlier...). And then we LOST the game, in the last like, 10 seconds. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I'ma go out dancing later.
