I managed, after that earlier bit of whinging to fall back asleep. At least, after I read from some random pages of The Vintner's Luck. I like its cadence and find comfort in it. It was a book I read when I full with more specific grief than I had been possibly ever. Grief is different than other things, other forms of sadness and desperation -- it leaves you clear-heeaded enough to notice it -- unlike anguish or fear or misery.

I tend to want to quote from it when I am happy, but its happiness is so specific. Names, dates, places, complex incidents, that there's very little to take from it out of context. I always look anyway though. And come up only with "A year of blankness." That book marked mine. One of mine anyway.

I dreamed Michael wrote, although he hasn't in some time. I dreamed I told him about the book and how he wouldn't like it very much, which is true, although I think it would remind him of me. That might be why. It would be not just not to his tastes, but discomforting, I'd imagine.

Now that I'm actually awake, the pain is back -- I mean my leg cramps and so forth. But I'll spend the day being friendly with Tylenol, work, a casting (I've been told to dress "trendy" again -- that's a terrible word, and one I suspect I don't know the meaning of, not jsut because I am not so much up on trends, but because I lack an understanding of its current connotation and it seems to mean different wardrobe styles to members of different groups. I wish people wouldn't say it in castings - and so I just wear what I please and show myself to know nothing of fashion I imagine), fencing, pondering of the next immanent adventure. I hope I spelled that word right, I always have problems with it.

Life is good. I am pleased. Summer is rarely a powerful season for me, but oh this one has been rebel and alien - cooler than usual too, so maybe that's it.

Leg cramps...calcium? You might need a supplement.

Imminent, with an I in the middle. More I in imminent!

You need to wear a babydoll sleeveless top with little ironic hearts all over it. And capri leggings. Sorry, dude.

See, sometimes.
Sometimes they mean "dress like you're going clubbing with Britney spears."
Othertimes they mean "you need to look like a girl in a rap video"
Yet still other times, it's "you know, the Devil Wears Prada" it's very unpredictable.

I suppose if "trendy" just means "cutting edge" the Regency accents will always hold you in good stead.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Good luck at the casting! And I do hope you feel better soon.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Merci and merci.
What time did you wake up?
Also, LJ comments, still not so much.

I might, I mean calcium is a big problem for celiacs. But it really might have jsut been yesterday's dance class in which I was being a show off.

(Sorry, had to go away for dinner.)

About 11:30- I went to bed around 5:30. But I took a 3 or 4 hour nap late in the afternoon. Also, going to bed at dawn proved to be a surprisingly good way to avoid the bugs. I'd do it all the time, if I could get away with it.

[hakeber.livejournal.com]

And then I saw your earlier entry about the other sort of cramps. You should probably look into adding some calcium somehow. In whatever form is safe for you.

[rm.livejournal.com]

NP.

Well, when you get to run the digs, you can put everyone on a very eccentric schedule. I am glad you did not lose the entire day.

I do probably eat less dairy than I used to, as my body can handle it very erratically now. Does it generally help with crmaps of all types?

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Heh. Hey, it could work. Archaeology by floodlight! At least it would be cooler. And nope, though I did not manage to do anything actually productive during the day. Hopefully you've been having more luck.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Were you planning too? I suppose you did want to make use of your day off.

Eh, I'm getting done what I need to. And I ate a burrito bol, but essentially, no.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Eh. I was kinda planning to go into Nicosia, but I slept through the first two buses, and there's not much point in taking the 3:00 one when everything there closes down around 4:00. I'll go some other day, it's not like I'm leaving soon.

Mmmm, burrito bowl. I invented spaghetti for lunch out of tomatoe juice and rice noodles (the kind you get in packages of Ramen).

[hakeber.livejournal.com]

Yes. Otherwise your body steals it from your bones for your muscles to use. I'd say go for an actual supplement, and make sure it comes with vitamin D3 and magnesium. Hopefully you can find a preparation that is safe for you without having to pay too much. Calcium carbonate is pretty much worthless, so don't bother with it. Also beware of taking it with certain medications. Calcium blocks thing like thyroid hormone supplements.

Wow, that sounds like the type of spahgetti I eat. I mean, witht he rice noodles. Did it work? And dude, I just got this comment now.

[fuyukodachi.livejournal.com]

I usually find leg cramps to be a potassium issue. Have a potato with skin with your dinner, maybe.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Surprisingly well, actually. And boo on livejournal for the comments.

I so do miss Chiptole, though, or any Mexican food. You can't get it at all here.

Indeed, though it's worth noting that immanent is totally a word, and "immanent adventure" ain't actually the worst phrase to describe her general schtick.
