I have ordered a wedding dress. 🙂 I have mail-ordered through jcrew.com. If I don’t like it for whatever reason, I just box it back up, drop it in the post, they keep $7 for shipping and refund the rest.
Not a bad deal, really. 🙂
P.S. Darnit. I said “post”. I’m being assimilated, aren’t I.

For a man who listens to everything with a loving heart
So, I have finally come close to running out of Ambien, after a year of taking it almost nightly. For a light sleeper, it’s heaven to go to bed within 20 minutes of taking a pill and waking up 7 hours later. It’s good sleep. Why can’t I do this sleep thing naturally?
I have 2 pills left. I could wean myself off slowly by cutting them into quarters. I only took half anyway. I can’t believe that, at one time, a whole pill was required.
“Pah!” to the people who say it eventually loses it’s effectiveness.
In desperation, I bought some Benedryl. I figured, if nothing else, it would alleviate my allergies. It also gave me a nice nap for some of the afternoon.
Having not slept for a lot of last night.
So far, the withdrawal symptoms:
But at least I feel more like “me”.
I expect that tomorrow, I can add “irritability” to the list. I AM going back to work, afterall. 😀
Hot…
Cool
“Plenty of the signs are going through a period of relief. Depending on what’s going on in your personal chart, you might be lucky enough to be feeling that relief too. But for most Cancerians you’ll have to wait a week or three for some real relief. It’s because you still have the Sun in your 12th house, meaning that you’re still running on reserve energy. The best thing you can do is: a. count your blessings (really, if you’ve never tried it, do so now!); and b. go really, really easy on yourself. Reserve your right to do as little as you like, no matter what the outside pressure.” (spot on)
I have loads of blessings… I really do. Maybe I should start writing them down and putting them in front of my face. It might stop the whining about waiting for things to happen. (just roll with it) 🙂
I don’t know about you, but I love animals so much that the really graphic commercials about people mistreating them makes me:
a. Turn the channel (almost in tears); or
b. Want to run down to the shelter to see what I can adopt. I’m sure I can fit a horse in my apartment. Anyone litter train a horse recently?
Why can’t the world consist of intelligent human beings who don’t abuse animals?
I seem to be stuck in the 70’s today. First, I’m talking to Ian about knots and macrame and all those nifty plant holders I used to make. Then, I keep hearing
How long has this been going on – Ace as part of an ice cream commercial.
I love this song, though it has no real pertinence in my life. I’m just putting it here because I like it. 🙂 It reminds me of roller skating on the weekends and laying by the pool in the summer.
Plus, I don’t mind the guitar. 🙂
I have ordered a new bed ensemble with the aid of Mr. Ian.
The motivation for the tree-like motif:

I can’t wait for it to get here. I tried to get by with a less expensive zen-ish comforter, but we picked the tree theme out together and so it’s special. I know it’s “just a duvet”, but where you sleep and what you sleep in is a big deal. Feng shui is a good thing.
Still considering what to do with wall hangings/other decorations. Any ideas?
It started when a certain office made 9 people redundant in a matter of 2 days. Scary stuff, and sad, really, to see the recession so close to home. Most of the redundancies were shocking, really… staff you wouldn’t expect to be made redundant. It was difficult.
I was wiped out Friday, when I got home from work. I figured it had just been a stressful day, but at 3am, I woke up very sick. It wasn’t pretty. At least I could email Ian and talk to him about it, since the time difference works in our favour, at times.
When I was finally able to go back to sleep, I took a trip to England in my dreams. It was good to be with Ian again (even though he was out running errands a lot). My daughter was with me, too, which was nice. We had just gone for the weekend, and Ian said, “Why don’t you get your tickets changed and stay a few more days?”, which sounded good to me. As it is, I probably won’t see him again until 渺渺在公车被灌满jing液, but we’ll be fine. We’re used to spending these long periods apart and we just compensate for it by talking loads, really.
I have been doing simple laundry (just towels), talking to Ian, laying down a lot and pet-sitting for my friend, Stacie. It’s not far to go, and once I get there and let the dog out, I can lay down while TLK and I spend some time with him. He’s an Aussie Shepherd, and a really good dog.
What are YOU up to?
you’ve found the right person when, even from 4,000 miles away, they can tell you’re upset by the slightest change of your voice and:
1. “Nothing’s wrong! Gotta go!”, even in a cheerful tone, will not get prompt them to let you go.
2. Whatever thing you pick to say is bothering you, doesn’t work as an excuse for why you’re upset. (“No, what is it really?”) 🙂
3. They want to hear what is bothering you, even though you precursor it all by saying, “I know I’m being stupid, and that’s why I just don’t want to talk about it. Can we just not talk about it?”
4. They skip dinner just to listen to your sad, sad (stupid) story and call you back when Skype disconnects… to talk to you from the middle of the street, just to make sure you’re ok.
5. They do everything they can to make it all better. 🙂
(and they say there is not a God. Wait… ) (j/k on that one)
I recently picked up a book called, http://www.amazon.com/Follow-Your-Dreams-Except-Where/dp/07407636, which I felt I needed to have after it made me laugh out loud in the bookstore.
My favourite page is hard to pick, but I’ll try. 🙂
