ha. I've been ingmail chat with my sister, getting very tired. but suddenly, i remembered her last post had been in italy, so i had to ask her about fernet ( she didn't know it by name, but there were many things people gave her to eat and drink that she really didn't know what they were)

I am a bit put out about random things. I'm making our reservations to go to Moldova for this wedding, and my flight choices either involve 6 hour layovers or arrive at 4:30 am.

And I finally re-located a classical station, but 10 minutes after I tuned in they changed to Mel Torme and George Gershiwn. Not the same!

I'm hearing birds singing. And I'm still not asleep. Blech.

Sleeeeeeeeep ChiKat.

It is way late but this is not insomnia posting. This is "damn I had a fabulous night in a big foofy skirt surrounded by other pretty people with dancing and fabulous stage shows" posting. Jilli has stumbled to her bed and I am following to my room shortly. The cats, or at least Kittenish, are flumped in a pile of petticoats.

eta: Suzi, I got my package today and you are fabulous! My hairdryer is safely back home after its extended Bay Area vacation and the candle smells just wonderful. It is in one of the shrine-y areas of a bookcase currently but will give its nummy life of scent and fire soon. Thank you so much!

There's this strange light in the eastern sky. I think it's a fire demon.

Nope. That'll be the flames of my envy of Cass's Jillitime and flouncy skirtage.

ION, I think I have A Cunning Plan for a kids' book. Which is v. exciting. Need to go and poke idea with stick lots more, but I'm feeling quite bouncy and gleeful about it & think it should be FUN to write.

Poor Hil! I hope you're feeling better this morning.

ChiKat, yay for sewing! Can't wait to hear more!

Cass, sounds like so much fun! Get some sleep, love.

I know! It scared me! GO AWAY you evil fire demon!

Oh, wait! Is it the sun????? Don't go away! Stay FOREVER!

Also, you know what's really cruel? When your body decides at 5:30am that it needs to give you a really awful leg cramp. I've spent the last hour and a half trying to stretch the damn thing out. It's doing better, but it still hurts. And I was gonna sleep in today.

Oh, leg cramp is ghastly.

I KNOW! I finally called my mom about a half hour ago to see what else I could try. She was kind of annoyed that I woke her until I told her why I called. Then she was all, "Poor baby!" She gets them like something awful, so she totally understood.

Manatees have been taken off the endangered species list. Does that mean I can take one home as a pet now?
