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?

Potassium. Electrolytes. If you have some potassium-based salt substitute in the house, a quarter or half teaspoon of that, washed down quickly with water will help a lot.
Bananas. Smoke 'em if you got em.
The Doctor: Don't drop the banana!
Jack: Why not?
The Doctor: Good source of potassium!
Hil, I hope you start feeling more hydrated soon. Sounds uncomfortable.
I, too, am jealous of Cass. My daughter's roller derby league will be participating in a tournament in Seattle in September, and I was hoping for a good reason to travel there, but she didn't sign up to be part of the travelling team this year. I'm bummed.
Sleep~ma to all the Bitches who are having trouble sleeping. I'll include myself in that list. Kept waking up during the night and every time I fell asleep I started dreaming about cats chasing mice. In one dream I found not only my own cats chasing what seemed like a herd of mice, but at least two other cats that looked like Tucker that had gotten into the condo somehow. Verra wierd.
ION, the mouse and/or its carcass is not evident. Guess I'm going to have to go on an extended search to see if I can find it. Sigh.
