The world spins madly on
Happy First Day of Summer!
Man, it gets dark early here. It's amazing how much of a difference a few hours north makes. June 21, and it was dark by 9:00. Something's not quite right with that picture.
Hmmm... I got sick. Gotta love A/C. It's murder on the throat, and it's been really hot and humid all week, so going from an air conditioned classroom to the hot outdoors all week, combined with the fact that I actually slept on Saturday, which automatically gives my body license to get sick, meant that I spent two days with sinuses that were going to explode. And wow, that's a long sentence. But not technically run-on. Although that one was technically a fragment.
Okay then.
On the bright side, I did find my perfect Nyquil dose. Usually, if I just take it before bed, I wake up all sweaty in the middle of the night and have really weird hallucinations. So last night, I took a full dose about 2 hours before bed, which didn't knock me out right away, and then I took another half-dose right before bed, and it was perfect! I slept all night--a full 8 hours--but I didn't wake up in the middle of the night, and I didn't wake up groggy in the morning.
The moral of the story, kids, is to play around with drugs until you find the right combination for you. Mmmkay?

Aww, we were probably sick buddies. Normally for me though I get hallucinations without the help of medication. So, guess what we're calling your (hopefully) room? Spare Oom. And we will call it that even if it's going to be occupied (hopefully) by you. Kristin and I want to name our rooms too, but yours is by far the coolest!
Alida, I'm a sick buddy with you too - I spent the entire weekend feeling like I had been run over by a truck. Fun times. Stupid allergies. (Don't worry, I'm done with the sentance fragments now).
Besides being south, being on the eastern edge of the time zone makes a big difference, too. I just knew you were craving that bit of wisdom.

Too bad everybody's sicke! I'm not, though I'm afraid the heat/AC thing could happen to me in Japan; it did when we were in Williamsburg.
And when I went to bed around 10, it was still pretty light out, more so than usual because of the storm clouds running around! Auntie Beth noticed the difference between here and Belize--there it's dark around 6 or 7, even in the summer!

What are you trying to teach us about drugs? :P There are those who read your blog who are young and impressionable (moi) and could very easily get themselves in trouble! lol
Yeah, Dad asked me about the drug bit, too. Maybe he's impressionable.
Mom
What, exactly, did he ask you about the drugs?
Probably commented about "playing around with drugs," just like you said!
Why, what do you think he would ask? You think he thinks you're really taking drugs?
