Wednesday

The universe hates me. Not much sleep, then early-morning tree trimmers next door. Ah, the sound of chainsaws at dawn! And dogs barking. And guys yelling to each other.

Sunny, 75 degrees (23.9 Celsius). Still reading Empire of the Summer Moon, almost finished with it.

Very cool reportage from the BBC last night -- boy buried at Stonehenge with amber necklace was from the Mediterranean. The news is also in the Telegraph, which has a lovely shot of Stonehenge in snow.

Oh, I find ancient things so intriguing. Excellent link; thank you.

And it is now ... afternoon?!! Good heavens. I guess I'd better get out of bed and actually eat something. That is, provided I have any food in the house, which I may not.

ETA: thank God for noodle-soup packets.

I didn't sleep well either, and will probably have a second cup of coffee in a few minutes. My bed is comfy and warm, but there's a huge amount of light in this room pretty much all the time - the trade-off of city living. I feel like I should take a vacation out to Montauk or something where there's less light pollution.

Bummer about the chainsaws and endless racket. *passes over the six-pack of hard cider* That is fascinating about the boy -- never knew there was such a thing as heavy oxygen before -- and the archer mentioned later in the story.

Work was frantic today and I got home late to find that Rocket Dog had peed on the carpet and my son had brilliantly decided to deodorize it by pouring a pile of laundry detergent powder on the wet spot. Jeeze.
