?פֿאַר װאָס זאָל איך אײַך געבן דירה-געלט אַז די קיך איז צעבראָכן

The weekend continued sleepless af with a double whammy of financial stress and I got nothing done that I had wanted, but spatch took a picture of me when I got back in from my walk that I liked, which these days is vanishing. I am not confident a normal amount of summer actually happened.

It is a nice picture. I'm sorry about the sleep problems; I understand how frustrating they can be. Last night was one of those nights where I slept, for hours...in what felt like dozens of fifteen minute intervals separated by minutes of axial rotation and overheating.

Tonight I started reading a story that reminded me of you and your story "As the Tide Came Flowing In" -- which I enjoyed a few weeks ago in the Bodily Autonomy anthology -- since this story, at least the beginning of it, as I'm only a few pages in, involves the ocean, a lighthouse, and a ghost visiting his widow and child. I just now looked it up and discovered that it won the 2007 World Fantasy Award for short fiction: "Journey into the Kingdom" by M. Rickert.

Hey, you've still got somebody's tarot card in your cabinet of Maybe Not On Full Moons Maybe Never. [Edit: I looked again and it's a very cool print I can't entirely see, but tarot cards don't just up sticks and wander... I think.]

It really is a striking picture. I remain glad you have someone who sees you so truly.
*hugs*

....it isn't the stove again, is it?!

That's a wonderful photo. I am sorry about the lack of sleep and the financial stress. This evening I watched Joseph Losey's King and Country, which I knew nothing about and which knocked my socks off. Have you seen it? It seems relevant to your interests.

It feels like the coldest summer in a long time, seriously. We had blazing hot days but it now feels like proper autumn in a way that I haven't experienced since I was a teenager.

This summer - this year in general, really - has been going by in turbo mode.

It is a good photo! <3

I am so sorry about the rest. I wish you at least some improvement asap. *hugs*

(I spoke to Youngest Nephew today, as it is his birthday. He got a microscope and a shark tooth fossil and was enjoying himself hugely looking at the fossil under the microscope, so the future of natural science is in good hands. When he's finished building lego giraffes and flamingos, of course. XD)

I am not confident a normal amount of summer happened either! But here we are.

It's a beautiful photo, all the more so given that it's taken in the face of health, sleep, and financial stress.

That's a lovely photo!

I hope your sleeplessness and financial stress improves soon. *hugs*

[davidgillon]

That is a particularly good picture of you!

I am not confident a normal amount of summer actually happened.

Today we had bright sunlight alternating with hammering rain, which strikes me as a more typical summers day than almost any we had in August.

I am not confident a normal amount of summer actually happened.

It really doesn't seem possible!

I'm sorry about the lack of sleep and the financial stress, it's all really unnecessary, isn't it? On a happier note, I like your photo (and your cabinet of curiosities)!
