Today started at 2:30 am. Lately I find it very hard to sleep through the night without taking a magnesium supplement at bedtime, and no matter how many times I am reminded of that to my sorrow, if I don't remember to take it before I get into bed, I will not get back up to remedy that. So: there was much sleeplessness, mitigated by random interior ( Read more... )

Such gauzy romance!

Okay, first I need a bed. But THEN ...

I have come out of whatever sadness was knocking me to my knees earlier in the week. Over the past few months I have been having a problem where I will start crying uncontrollably for no apparent reason. It happens a lot when I'm at work, and also a lot during choir practice before church. This is pretty scary. I've always been a crier, I've always ( Read more... )

I have a lot of crossover in my online communities. It's very hard to write about someone anywhere without someone who knows kir seeing it -- or often, ke kirself seeing it. Which is probably a good thing for me. I'd far rather go to everyone else I know and get sympathy for what so-and-so did than approach so-and-so and say, "That really bothered ( Read more... )

I really miss Taoist Tai Chi. I am sort of baffled that nobody does classes up here. I mean, I know there are other kinds of tai chi, but that is the one I learned (most of it; I never did finish the last bit of the 108 forms) and I suspect trying another type would just make me miss this one more. And there don't even seem to be videos or even ( Read more... )

I just got back from visiting dagnycat522 in Washington, DC and I really liked it

I am thinking about changing my LJ icons scheme (gasp, clutch pearls)

I cannot stop taking pictures of the cats

I am really excited for Fourth Street

Ugh, it's that time of year again. Came back from my noontime walk soaked in sweat and red as a beet. I am going to have to start rolling out of bed earlier and walking first thing in the morning if I want to keep the rah-rah-exercise-endorphins going through the face-melting days of summer.

I am going to The Avengers with David tonight, and ( Read more... )

I've had the worst mental block lately about talking about myself online. I can't journal; I can't join new communities or start new forum logs. I never did say much about myself on Facebook given that I have so many family members friended, so that's nothing new. But even on what dagnycat522 charmingly calls Message-Board-of-Note, I keep writing entries -- ( Read more... )

[at a fancy wine tasting]
Ellie: What are they offering at this table?
David: Let's see ... [peers through the crowd] ... ooh! That one is AWESOME!
Ellie: What?
David: It's called Ent Wine!
Ellie: ...
David: ...
Ellie: ...
David: ... oh. "Entwine."
 

The first book in a series should NOT be allowed to end with so many unanswered questions! #TheSecretCountry

(Especially not when your husband has to go to work and can't start reading the next one to you for days.)
