Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Kat,

at this pont, maybe you need to sleep for your own health and sanity? You know what's best, but getting proper sleep is very important.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh Kat, I hate those ragey nights. Sending you vibes for a good night's sleep.

I am considering adding GABA to my night routine on those nights when I can't stop perseverating on something, but not sure. The best article I read on the subject said GABA probably doesn't pass the brain-blood barrier and so any relaxing effect is mostly placebo. But it seems it does relax the body, so I'm thinking that might be enough. Relax my body and my brain should follow, right?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is this the right version of the Evanesence song?

Because I'm ripping it now if it is and I can send it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sarameg, the Tom Bihn Aeronaut is highly recommended by light travel fetishists. I recommend onebag.com or [link]

Bob and I used an Aeronaut each as our sole bag during 3 weeks in Thailand, for what it's worth. It's expensive, though, and the extra strap is also a must. [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think that's the right version. Anyway, insent to ita and Jilli.

That's about the size of my old duffly thing. Which wasn't that much! Drives me nuts I can't find its kind anymore. It was the standard carryon in, oh, 1990? 1985? Held SO MUCH, yet compact.

So this is a slightly out of focus picture of the tangerine lantern. [link] Super fun!

I, too, have heard the love of Tom Bihn--and since they're in Seattle I've contemplated going over to their factory and checking it out (they're open one or two days a week)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, Hec!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I used to use GABA when I was stressed out at work. As did a friend of mine. I can't believe I forgot about it. I ought to get some more. It wasn't Xanax-levels of relaxation, but you know... sometimes a little relaxation is enough.
