I am. I was getting to bed early at the end of the school year, then I was in Europe for a month, my first trip ever!
12:47 am
TraderKate
wonderful!!! well worth getting your circadian rhythm out of kilter!!! where did you go?
12:47 am
melonheadjujube
Actually, school starts tomorrow, but the odds of a sub job on the first day are remote.
12:48 am

12:49 am
melonheadjujube
Ahm the trip. All in all five weeks, I took the Amtrak from CLE to NYC and stayed a few days, the IcelandAir to Amersterdam, and trains to Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Regensburg and the Bavarian coutryside, a week in Paris, 3 nights in Iceland, back to NYC for a few days, and the train home.
12:50 am

The Iceland stopover actually broke up the jet lag a bit.

12:51 am
melonheadjujube
It was. I used airbnb for Iceland, New York, Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris. Prague and Vienna were hotels, and Regensburg was at the home of a friend from music school; it was she who urged me to travel. So glad I finally did.

I did fall hook, line, and sinker for Paris. It was my longest stay, and I do understand French. I surprised myself at how much French I could speak; those years of french 8th grade thru sopjomore year of college were still hiding out in my gray matter!
12:56 am
harpjane
looking for the bunny....
12:57 am
melonheadjujube
Of course, English is spoken everywhere I went. Iceland was a nice way to decompress from all those capital cities. I was in a little harbor town, so small, no-one locled their doors!
12:57 am
TraderKate
don't want to mislead you jane... the word actually means thick fog/mist.... but looks like a dutch word for bunny...
12:58 am
TraderKate
funny how the long unused languages pop out when you are immersed? good for you!
12:58 am
melonheadjujube
thanks.
12:59 am
melonheadjujube
I was in Marais, not far from the Hotel de Ville. I was in a 5th floor apartment with a terrace. My neighbor was a tiny older lady who had been Pierre Boulez's copyist. Boulez is held in muh esteem in Cleveland, and as I am a musician, we had much to talk about.
1:01 am
TraderKate
so lucky to have had such a lovely pied a terre and neighbour too! I'll bet she was glad to have someone to "talk shop" with.
1:03 am
melonheadjujube
She was, and I was happy to have someone to say "bonjour" to everyday. as a solo traveler, I really enjoyed using airbnb for that reason, among others.
1:03 am
harpjane
there actually IS a bunny today, you know.
1:04 am
TraderKate
yes jane there is... now make it look dutch...
1:04 am
melonheadjujube
indeed a bunny
1:06 am
melonheadjujube
great clue, TK, thank you!
1:07 am
TraderKate
a bit fuzzy... but every time I see the word (thick fog/mist) I think dutch word for rabbit...

busyish. spent most of it on the phone trying to track down a marquee for wednesday which isn't going to cost the church an arm and a leg to hire
3:11 am

your vicar is so so lucky to have the two of you in her corner
3:12 am
grannyrose
tomorrow we go to do the shopping for the day. we are the lucky ones to have her.
3:13 am

will you take care of yourself? Doing such big shopping is not easy on the ole bod.
3:14 am
grannyrose
i will. i know exactly where everything is in the supermarkets. i will send don forward if it becomes too much.
3:14 am
sprite
you are awesome.
3:14 am
grannyrose
how are you today, honey?
3:15 am
sprite
groggy. Bad night, slept in a little, still half in dreamland, or so it feels like. Not much pain, not nauseated, physically pretty ok.
3:16 am
grannyrose
okay. as you wake up i hope you start to feel more alert.
3:17 am
sprite
sometimes those bad dreams feel like they have a vacuum pomp behind them... sucking me right back in
3:18 am
grannyrose
i know. those are the ones i call waking dreams. you know you are dreaming, but you are equally sure you are awake.
3:20 am
sprite
those, I know as well. This is different though. This is after waking up, washing, dressing, and still feeling like being sucked right back into the dream, fighting to be aware of the here-and-now
3:21 am
grannyrose
ugh. not nice at all.you poor girl!! * gentle hug*
3:21 am
sprite
*hugs back* It'll be ok, at some point it stops. Will take terra out for a spin after babble :)
3:22 am
grannyrose
that should help. some fresh air, some real world stuff happening around you.
3:23 am
sprite
exactly. Wish it still was storming outside. Storm is the best cure, lol. Blows it all right away.
3:24 am
grannyrose
well yes, but the storm brings it's own stuff with headaches and feeling blah too.
3:25 am
sprite
true. Especially thunderstorms. We had one last night. Things are quiet now on the weather front.
3:29 am
grannyrose
btw, the vicar and i decided to use disposable cups and plates on wednesday. the washing up logistics are a nightmare otherwise.
3:30 am
sprite
I think that is a wise decision. You can always opt for the paper variety in stead of plastic.
3:30 am
grannyrose
i am buying the type of cups take-away coffee is put into.
3:31 am
sprite
the kind that is bio-degradable?

corvid
small grid today??? I'm so bad at these ones :(
9:37 am
penquis
i don't think anybody here likes grids this small....
9:38 am
corvid
it's because there's never enough quick small words that are easy to get you have to start getting clues from people like so quickly?? and that's not as much fun
9:39 am
penquis
agreed....
9:46 am
penquis
congrats!

9:58 am
rururocks
