Dry lips
How appropriate. I've had dry lips all day today. Dry lips, dry skin, dry hair, drippy sinuses. Headachy, but not an actual headache. I think they call these types of winds the Santa Anas, and I hate them. I don't even feel bad for Santa Ana to have these winds named after her, because she's a saint and therefore religious and I kind of hate religion. Our neighbor's child is crying and its sibling is telling it to shut up. I am convinced that most of the problems people have, with having bad attitudes, being grumpy, finding it hard to do things, being fussy, etc, are because they are sleep-deprived. And I believe our neighbors are setting their children up for failure in not ensuring that they get enough sleep. And I feel bad for them, and I feel like a judgy mcjudgerpants, and there it is. I am already a person who tends to believe that I am kind of better than other people, but not in a way that makes me a jerk, except maybe in private, but more in a way that makes me magnanimous and wonderful (you see? I would make myself sick except I don't, because I'm me) and I am pretty sure parenthood is just going to keep making me feel this over and over. But maybe Lochlan will be an absolute wreck!
A photo I took of a plant that fares
well in dry weather, unlike me.
PS My god you are all going to get to know me better than I might like.
