    My daughter seems to understand when I tell her some things. She made her usual fuss when I was walking out the door this morning. I kissed her on the head and told her I didn't want to leave her, either. She blinked, let it process for a moment, then kissed me and waved goodbye.

    Got some stuff done earlier, but now my motivation to get through my to-do list is waning.

    I keep waiting for the crash from today's adrenaline... it's not coming.
    And I'm running on 3 hours of sleep. Feckin' bulletproof coffee at 10:30 am yesterday didn't wear off until after 1am.
    Maybe a bath and some Brandon Sanderson, followed by Hemlock Grove or Northman's ass.
    Either way, this day needs some Skarsgård in it.

    Heh. Got my husband to lounge around in his undies just because it looks nice.

    I dead-headed balloon flowers for the first time today. It was sticky. Also I took the heads off some dead daisies. They were rather resistant.

    I spent a solid year or two running on three hours of sleep. Keeps life "interesting", especially the 'will I stay awake driving 10 miles to the second job game?'.

    From a recent photo trip to a local garden.This must have been my 28-80mm FD lens but for some reason I could have sworn it wasn't this sharp.

    Not many young(ish) white guys can pull off the bald look; it worked very well for Micheal Rosenbaum.

    It's cool enough that I might make shokupan today.

    This 6 year old I work with just kills me. Not only did she tell me she HAS to say the "f-word" back at her daddy when he says it to her, but she's convinced that this button on my car key shoves you out of the car when you push it.

    Sure looks like the button for an ejection seat to me!

    My brother-in-law wants to go to White Rock for dinner tonight, but that's dangerously close to the U.S. border.

    That's like being in Minas Tirith and suggesting we dine in Osgiliath.

    Seriously?

    You can wave to my cousins from there.

    We used to go to Semiahmoo Resort, across the bay from White Rock, for a retreat every year when I was growing up.

    In response to your observation, not even close. You've still got an enormous buffer of general Cascadia before you get somewhere like, say, Idaho or Utah. We're more like British Columbia than not, and vice-versa.

    What's in White Rock, besides dinner?

    It's apparently a great replica for Santa Barbara, as it's where large parts of Psych were filmed.

    Sometimes I just need a small kick to get me out of my own head. TFP is my small kick. :) Thank you.

    Dear Cat,
    I hear you complaining about coughing and throwing up.
    Your yowls of protest are at a volume that can't be ignored.
    Stop killing and trying to eat cockroaches, flies, and dragonflies.
    This issue will likely resolve itself if that happens.
    Love, Noodz
