Sleepy. Cute Mac. Poor thing. Poor sweet thing.

Hey, when it tells me to let the pears ripen in a paper bag with an apple or a banana, what's the other fruit for? Say, you don't have an apple or a banana...can I substitute something, or do I just trust in the lessened power of the brown paper bag?

Uh. Just remembered a disturbing dream I had a few nights ago that I wanted to discuss with someone and have kept forgetting to mention to them. And now they're out of town for a week.

I think any fruit is okay.

I was supposed to go to bed early.

Tried, even. Oh well.

Bananas give off loads of (memfault ripening gas stuff), which is why they are used. I assume apples is the same.

I should really stop trying to use my brain at night. It not work right and lose words.

Ethylene gas

Because of *course* I am going to remember right after I hit post and not, say, before I post.

I took a two-hour nap earlier tonight and am now wide awake. Whee?

Hey Kristin. Sorry you overnapped.

I am reading a commentary on a fic and it's near the end. The story doesn't want to stop to breathe and so neither can I.

It's cooling off outside drastically after a warm day and I am loving the air coming in through the windows (let's ignore allergies and bless Claritin and Benedryl for the time being) tonight.

I am at least being productive. I've created a study guide for Macbeth and reread the entire play. So I got that going for me.

The breeze sounds lovely. It was ungodly hot today (90 even down by the ocean in some places!), so I too am basking in the AC.

90s? Santa Anas, I assume.

Blech.

I am doing that reading of the end where I want it to go on forever but I also want to get to the end thing. I think it is the reading equivilant of a kid that needs to pee.

Which? Remind me not to ever use that analogy in feedback. It has none of the charm of "bees".

Okay, I'm going to try for a four-hour nap before ye olde alarm goes off. Night!

Anyhoo. My kid, especially cute the past couple of days. also a moody moodihead, but cute. He picked out Mother's Day gifts for grandma and great-grandma and then wondered who was getting him stuff for Mother's Day. He also agreed to draw a picture for his aunt back in Ethiopia and actually told me for the first time that he had a different mom when he was a baby. I think he was worried I'd be upset, so he was relieved that it didn't upset me. brave little strong boy.

Oh, mac. I woke up with my allergies in full bloom, and now they're acting up in a totally different way.

I had dinner tonight with some adorable kids, and now I want one! Crap.

Blame the season. I've seen more people mention this sort of thing in the last week.

Me too! I'm starving.

Hee!

What they said, but I always trust the lessened power of the brown paper bag, and it works just fine (with plums, peaches and nectarines, too).
