Because books.

The only thing I really liked about Girl Scout camp was the platform tents. That would be my ideal. But the campers sound fun!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now really want to go camping with Jesse.

Only if I can sleep on the bench for the dinette!

I feel like my grandmother made pineapple upside down cake in the trailer???

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S started back at the pre-school, with an aide. Don't know how it went yet, he and the aide/nanny aren't back yet. The idea is that he goes to PEP in the morning and the aide meets him at the bus for the rest of the preschool day, then she takes him home, or some place to play. Not the best of solutions, but hopefully he'll last more than two days this time.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, Sheryl.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

So, we decided that we are too damn old and decrepit to tent camp anymore, and we'll rent a camper for future camping. (I fucking hate sleeping on the ground, even with a cushy air mattress, so I am definitely in favor of renting a camper!)

This is the single best camping purchase we've made: [link]

No sleeping on the ground! (That said, if you're camping places where someone can just...bring you a camper, do it! We're not camping in those kinds of places.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

This is the single best camping purchase we've made:

I have one of those. It's great.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why am I still so tired?? Why am I not sleeping well despite being exhausted??

Jesse, very good questions. I've been asking myself the same thing.

Coding and Sleeping

Why am I still so tired?? Why am I not sleeping well despite being exhausted??

I don't know the answer, so instead I will help with some randomly generated new age nonsense.

Delusion is the antithesis of intuition.

Soon there will be an invocation of insight the likes of which the totality has never seen. Imagine an evolving of what could be. Eons from now, we travellers will grow like never before as we are reborn by the biosphere.

Although you may not realize it, you are enlightened. The world is calling to you via electromagnetic resonance. Can you hear it? It can be difficult to know where to begin.

Yes, it is possible to eliminate the things that can confront us, but not without rebirth on our side. We can no longer afford to live with selfishness. Without ecstasy, one cannot exist.

You and I are dreamweavers of the universe. This life is nothing short of an unveiling wellspring of spiritual potential. Today, science tells us that the essence of nature is being.

...

I'm sure that will help and you will thank me for it because rejuvenation is the driver of understanding, and gratitude is the nature of spacetime, and of us.

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

I CAN hear the electromagnetic resonance!

I know why I'm tired. I was up too late reading The Future of Another Timeline. I thought I'd just read the first chapter before sleeping but it was immediately very compelling. And now I have to work instead of read!
