Oh, crud, Pix. Much ~ma for your back/neck and grading. And double portions of ~ma for recovery of ND's mom.

I hereby decree that the insomnia fairy should go visit the pain and sickness fairy and leave Buffistae alone tonight.

Sounds like ND's mom is going to be okay--just a bad infection. So that's good. He's down in SD until Sunday.

Well, that's some relieving news. Good. Now if your neck will ease off that'll be even better.

Aw, Plei. Sorry about the sick. Aiming feel-better ray southward toward you and Jilli.

I am so tired of being out of town. There were only two weeks off between trips this time and yet, here I am out of town and living out of a suitcase again. I'm just tired. Kristin and I leave town together on June 13th and I don't get back until July 14th.

Ugh.

Ok, Insomnia Fairy? Pain Fairy? That wasn't an invitation to meet at my house. Leave Daniel alone.

Oh noes, Windsparrow! Go away insomnia & pain fairies!

I think the pain fairy is gone, but the snoring fairy? Well, there's one I'd love to squash with a dirty shoe. I'm going to try to sleep now.

Wait, Liese, what are you doing up? (Meaning I haven't the foggiest idea what time zone you are in, or if you have wacky work hours, or anything like that.

Hee. We have the snoring fairy here too. But I snore too so I cannot complain. And yeah I totes should not be awake (AZ, West Coast time) but a) still coughing after a day of much exertion and b) the roommate has been up and moving around since midnight after sleeping through two obligations/expectations yesterday. But I will be asleep soon, as I hope you already are, as Mr. Pratchett is helping me.

{{{Pix, ND, and ND's mom}}}. I'm glad to hear she'll be alright, but really, so much ~ma to you. The universe really has to step off your case.

Health~ma also to Daniel, Jilli and Hil (with a healthy side of job~ma to the last).

And, ION: I'm having a it's-too-fucking-hot headache. I'm having a "seriously, Israel?" disbelief with the reactions of the Israeli public wrt Turkey. I'm crossing my fingers for Rachel Corrie. I was having a really disturbing Electra-like dream tonight. It wasn't my dad, but it was the guy my mom dated in the dream, and I'm all "ewww!" this morning. I was having a divine watermelon, but it's all over now. Booo! I need to start doing my homework, ASAP, but again - too. Fucking. Hot.

Edit: oh, joy! Israel agreed to pass the cement (don't know if the other things) that was on the flotilla to the Strip.

Now, of course, it's been detained by Hamas, which for some reason don't want it to be transferred to the civilian population of Gaza right away.

(Sorry, all of my sources about it are in Hebrew, so I can't link. Also, I can't believe that right now, I need at least three political commentary blogs just to understand the nonsense I read in the papers. Which is a big part of the answer to the question, how on earth a lot of people think this was a lynch in IDF navy commando - they simply read the newspapers alone).

Good thoughts for Pix and ND.
