Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, the local news did a half-hour on a tornado warning. I mean, I know that's a real thing, but you can actually just tell us what and where the one time! And extended information for people who are outside is probably not that helpful on the television.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

10/21 things on my weekend to do list done. That seems okay. If I can avoid adding any more tomorrow and knock off some of the quick ones first thing I'll be in pretty good shape.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I did manage to get some pruning done this afternoon, so go me: I triumphed over the bougainvillea! And I did a little writing.

In other news, apparently some asshole found a security leak and hacked a ton of famous people's phones and shared their selfies on 4chan. How... I just don't have words for that kind of shit.

How awful.

Me, too, Suzi. I really wish I could sleep.

Good morning, insomniacs.

That is kind of asshole. Though, if that was the only thing shared they were very lucky. I can think of lots worse things!

Am eating breakfast at the hotel after almost 11 hours sleep. Yes! Now to figure out what I'm doing today--it's raining so I'm thinking indoors.

Forgot it is the middle of the night where y'all are, mostly. So hello from the future! I wandered in circles for a couple hours. Granted, I only vaguely had destinations in mind, but dang, my sense of direction is usually much better! Am now back at the hotel to treat a blister (sadly after about an hour was like "hmm, I can feel a blister forming, better head back to the hotel!" But didn't managed to find the hotel for another hour or so, so too late to prevent the blister) and eat a sandwich. Possibly will then head back for a tour of the Jewish museums/synagogue etc. Was confused because the ticket price is listed as "tour"? And then there's an additional 80Kc charge for an English tour, maybe. Or something--I'm not sure if it's an up charge for English, or ticket vs tour guide, or what--seems like to enough for a tour guide ( it's about $4) but the ticket price didn't seem to include a tour guide, so who knows. They wouldn't sell it to me earlier because there have to be at least two people.

Enjoy Praha! Trying to think what I did that was visitory indoors, but drawing a blank. The castle?

I'm up and mobile but probably not making an 8 am pool time. Getting some coffee into me and trying to type around an attention seeking Pumpkin.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I have a really excellent sense of direction... except after long plane rides, it's like my Inner Compass misplaces its needle.

(I rather imagine it's like a little Egyptian 'ka', a winged skull flapping along gamely after the airplane, not able to keep up, but getting there eventually.)

meara, it's also a holiday weekend, so a large number of people who would be regularly here are sleeping in, or away on vacation. I sure hope you get to see the Jewish museums, they sound really cool!
