Thank heaven for EKnitting. They have a good selection of yarn and needles, they ship priority mail (or overnight or 2nd day, if you want), their site is easy to navigate, and they gave me 25% off the first order (three balls of "raspberry pink" cotton/alpaca yarn, and two sets of Brittany birch needles). We'll see how good the service actually is or is not. Patternworks also looks good, so I might try them next time.

Other than that, I got a good night's sleep and awoke to the N-cat, who is supposedly "mine" but who has been treating me like I'm a plague zombie, snuggling into the curve of my stomach with his head resting on my leg and one of his back paws in my hand. So endearing. I moved the hand into which he'd set his paw, and petted him, and he rested his head in it. I guess we're friends again.

Last night, among some of the usual common themes in my dreams, I dreamt that my mother had bought me a number of fish and hamsters and guinea pigs but had made no provision for their care and when I came home from somewhere, there were little fish flopping about in my kitchen and hamsters running around in my garage. I also dreamed that I was Felicity (yes, from the show) and my house (in this part of the dream, not my normal house) was used as a "club" and I was throwing a party there, and some boy tried to steal my PPG barettes and a pretty case they came in, and I chased him down and made him give them back, but then his mom came and tried to kill the N-cat and tried to sue me for assault and battery. Where's Ben when you need him?

You know, I have the too-many-animals dream a lot. I'm always put in charge of them and can't keep up. I just attributed it to my panic about not being good enough and failing miserably. I wonder why it's such a common theme in dreams?

yes! in my dream I thought they were all dead, but then I saw the fish "gasping" and flopping a little, so I rushed to get them into water. It ended up being OK I think...

I have too, too many dreams about junior high and high school. I still live right across the street from the ones I went to, and in a lot of my dreams I am trying to come home but they're between me and my house, and there's some kind of football game or carnival or something otherwise populated going on, so it's stressful and maze-like. When I think about these dreams they're usually pretty easy to interpret, though.
