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?

Math is hard.

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.

From my own state:

Someone who had a really bad time with the DMV

Holy Hannah.
