in a world of my own, at the back of the garden

For some reason I've been plagued (blessed?) with dreams of Scotland several times this week. All manner of mental images of cool green forests, craggy mountains, deep lochs, brick and stone cities.

I don't remember many details of what I did; at one point I was on a train in the rain, looking out at very green hills and coming to a stop in a city with old stone walls and buildings. In another dream I finally found the Loch Ness Monster, and it turned out to be some kind of squid (?)

A lot of this probably comes from a family trip years ago and my childhood obsession with the Loch Ness Monster (other 5th grade girls want ponies - go figure :P), I just wonder why my subconcious is stacking it on now.

I should be trying to sleep, but as I'm wide awake (and hence, bored), I was inspired by shemhazai's latest post:

allison is dead
allison is at home on the web
allison is cool

the purging of the cat hair

I continued my cleaning jag today. D. removed most of the built-up cat hair from our various blankets and throws (forget knitting a new cat - I think we could get a whole litter!) and these are currently washing/drying as we speak. Kisia was rather disturbed by the temporarly loss of her favorite "seat", but she coped. What a trooper ;)

geekchick and I exchanged books and had coffee (evil dark Starbucks javaaah [maniacal laughter]!). The sky fell out just as I was driving home, but this was a good thing, as Proper Summer Weather has finally arrived and it was absolutely infernal in my car until the rain came pouring down.

Got home, lifted dumbells, sweated some more. Showers after prolonged overheating/exertion are beyond sublime, and this one was no different :)

Re-started "Plan of Attack" and washed more cat hair covered items. I think I can see the guest room bedspread now, but I am covered in fur and inhaled so much that I may be working on a furball of my very own :P Gack, gack gack....

I should probably try to sleep as I have that "work thing" tomorrow.
