thanate*Yay rain.
*Boo rain when you're trying to send an already packaged package to Scotland.
*Yay foreign customers! Particularly ones who don't mind when postage & packing turns out to be a dollar more expensive than the item purchased. (admittedly, some people would have charged about the total for the item...)
*Apparently, when I am not sleeping like a rock through my husband sleepwalking out the back door (last night), I have recurrent dreams about a series of strange pizza restaurants with very poor service. And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
akgnome warning people about some event site where the police follow you around in the motel, and if they catch two people (at least of opposite genders) in the same room together without being married, they arrest them. Er, what?
*Has system updates to run (and sewing to do!) so a couple links:
**Has anybody been to either Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens in DC, or the Baltimore Zoo? Does anyone else desire to go to either of these places?
**Skimmed through a post on supposedly eco-friendly container gardening the other day (and have been considering how to manage winter-friendly herb window boxes for some time) and I'm strangely fascinated by this one, although the baby blue paint and randomly buried books are a bit odd. I always wanted to grow poison hemlock (it's such a pretty plant!) but it *is* invasive, and probably not the best thing to have around if one is planning on kids, either.
**Another Martha Wells story! with Ilias & Giliead. Yay!
**Sherwood Smith has a discussion about trying to get writing workshop feedback online and several people recommend absolute write in various capacities for possible commentary prospects. More later about the complete lack so far of starting a workshopping group.

*From the John Quincy Adams twitter project (apparently he wrote tweet-sized journal entries, which someone is re-posting 200 years late) today's entry is: 9/17/1809: Brisk gale and Squalls. Stopp'd by an armed brig. Attempt to board her failed. Read two Sermons of Massillon. Speaking of understatement...
*and, that thing with the sewing! (I am, after over a decade, and various floors, ping-pong tables, and other assorted venues, back to cutting out fabric on the dining room table.)
