Yeah, I think they are doing staggered ground delays so we should leave at 11pm as planned. I just hope my arrival doesn't go much beyond midnight or I really won't want to go in to work tomorrow.

Sorry, megan, it's gusting here with a heavier downpour.

Ugh, I feel for you Kat and Kristin.

It's not raining here yet, so we went to the open-air ice skating rink tonight. So much fun! Franny was lapping the big rink like a pro, and Isaac went from too scared to go on the ice to skating on the big rink, so I consider it a win. Between that and the trampoline I feel like we made proper use of the sun while it was here today (despite being home and carless). I expect it to be wet tomorrow.

Not raining here yet but it's supposed to break after midnight.

Just came back from my 4th Natural Resources and Environmental Commission meeting in 5 months. I'm still shaky from anger. And depressed because anger with no outlet and no hope turns to depression. Gah. The first time I had this feeling, I wrote it up here: [link]

I've never been the sort of person people follow so while there are So Pas gardeners, even gardeners who'd sign up for a community garden, I can't get any of the few I know to turn up at these meetings consistently so I got blown off tonight as "just one person". I've got so much crap going on in my life that it's hard for me to continue mustering the energy to try to show the city how unreasonably NIMBY they're being. I may make do with my raised bed (which I didn't know I'd be able to have when I first started showing up at meetings) or I may sign up for a plot at the El Sereno Community Garden, which miraculously seems to have plots available. Most community gardens I know of have waiting lists for 1 or 2 years.

Woke up 30 min ago. Do not like.

Yikes, msbelle, I hope you can get back to sleep.

I just took a Sudafed. Couldn't breathe and I've had a raging headache all night. I suspect my sister got me sick. I also suspect that taking that Sudafed won't make sleeping happen just yet. I had to choose and I chose breathing.

Not asleep yet. Lousy day since I got back from my Big Outing. I didn`t think the Arby`s breakfast was worth it, plus it made me sick. Back to rice. And so tired! But not asleep.

This is a rare occurance for me, I am gonna blame sharing a bed with mac who is a bed hog. 3 hours of sleep will not work though. Worse still is I have no book or knitting upstairs in our room. Unsure if I could get downstairs without waking people.

I'm home!!! And off to (hopefully) sleep.

Kat, Panera wins. Coffee and iced tea. Yum. I'll text you tomorrow and we can talk when/where. Yay!

Glad you finally made it home, mw.
