tiriaq

See?? ain't he feckin' cute? and the thing about ermines, and all weasels, really is that they are the fast and furious rodents of the world. his summer coat is sweet, too. white throat and belly with a nice chocolatey-caramely-coloured coat. and the biggest they get is like 30 cm. cuu-u-u-uute.

i think a big chunk of my funk is coming from bad sleep. it's full daylight by 4 am, and wingman's dog wakes up early and wants to go out. no big deal, i don't have to let her out. but lately, when she's outside, she's been howling. right beneath my bedroom window. so i get wakened up and because it's full daylight, i have trouble getting back to sleep. it's making me irritable. a girl needs her beauty sleep, you know? a girl also needs her exercise, and i've been slacking. it's too miserable to be outside doing stuff, and yet to be inside the weight room (no windows, even) is the most depressing thing i can imagine. i might force myself anyway.

i am craving new people, new connections. really, some good conversations with old people would be good enough, but i need some shake-up from this routine.

oooh... i just heard the first plane since monday! we've had such crappy weather; the planes haven't been able to see through the fog to land. it's dangerous here, because if they can't see the mountains, they could hit one. maybe i'll get some fun mail this afternoon.

i hear ya. i didn't realize that meeting new people was so crucial to my mental health. i hope you come across some clever people during the remainder of your time there.

thanks les. i hope so, too, but sort of in the same way that i hope to win the lottery without buying any tickets. :p
