Last night's nightmare that woke me up at 4am? I was late to aikido practice because of subway problems.
This morning's actuality? The bus never came, I'm on the subway, and I'm going to be late to aikido practice.
Tonight's dinner was brought to us by the letter "C":
chicken
carrots
cabbage
cumin
coriander
And then I ruined it was onion and garlic and salt and paprika, but how can you cook without those?

"You wouldn't happen to be the famous android bounty hunter, Arrivederci Jackknife, would you?" The cyborg's sizzling red eye glared at the mysterious stranger across the vantablackjack table, who pounded back another shot of synthwhiskey in reply.
"Maybe I am," he growled. "Depends on if you want to stay quiet and walk out of here alive, or if you want to get perforated with 837 rounds of EMP-tipped nano-lead."
Outside the rain fell like contraband diamonds from God's 3D printer in the sky.
Just woke up from a dream about my sister. I was holding her and we all sang Happy Birthday. I hugged her and thought that I wasn't going to see her again for a while.
My sister passed away 20 years ago. I'm sitting here crying because I miss her and smiling because I got to hug her again.
If any of my toot friends are also celebrating, #EidMubarak!

Today's exercise tally: aikido, 1 hour. Bicycling, 1 hour. Heavy air conditioner carried from the basement to the second floor: 1. Heavy table carried from the house to the trash: 1.
Time for a nap.
I have been on this business trip for too long now and my mind is slowly leaking out of my ears and I still have a day of meetings left.
I'd ask you all to send me some spare sanity but it's too late for me, save yourselves.
Currently on Day 3 of my Europe Jetlag Cycle. Day 1 I have just arrived, am exhausted, and sleep 12 hours (usually 9 pm to 9 am). Day 2 I am rested and have insomnia. And Day 3 I sleep well but wake up before 6 local time.
The cycle ends the day before I go home, and then I have another week re-adjusting.
Hooray for hotels that give you a room when you arrive at 9am and just want them to hold your suitcase. Time for a nap.
At the airport, about to fly to Germany. Soon I will be tooting from a more easterly time zone! That's probably the only noticable difference.
In further aikido news, my sensei told me to start wearing a hakama. Last month I would have told you the people with hakama are the senior students, but I still don't feel very senior...
Back to morning #aikido, hooray.
Ow ow ow my shoulders are sore.
Eid Mubarak to anyone else celebrating today!
Ramadan mubarak to everyone joining me in fasting today!
It is proven! I am katre on Keybase: https://keybase.io/katre/sigchain#0f8e621a28481f2588b7ec107734d6b703fa1ff56401a2907ad7cc557882864e0f
I am going to have to change my schedule next week when Ramadan starts and I am fasting, so it was good to practice with the morning crew today.
Despite high levels of "I don't wanna", I did go to aikido this morning, it was a good class, and I am happy I went. Also, I didn't stain anyone purple this time!
@vicorva I love the microfic you sent. Thanks so much!
