(no subject)

The smoke alarm randomly screeched all night. So I got almost no sleep. Took a nap this afternoon and dreamed of tornados. Haven't had that paticular nightmare in quite some time. It was odd, being at this nice house beside the lake, and finding all these coins standing on edge. I was trying to find Melynda, and muttering about ta'vern when I saw the tornado coming and made a mad dash for a closet.

Still shaking off that image.

My grandmother however is giving me a food processor. She has one that she never uses, so when they get back to Alabama, she's going to send it to me. Rock. We were discussing things while she took my mom shopping and made her buy lots of clothes. I came out with a nice sage green pair of paints, a grey shirt, and a black sparkly one that makes me think of New York.

Spent half an hour in the post office this afternoon, which truly wasn't so bad given the crowd, and mailed presents and cards. It made me happy, to see all those people behaving fairly decently towards each other and the postal workers. I dread such scenes because when I see people being bastards I am compelled to say something. But everyone was very nice, and I even saw a woman give her ticket to another woman with two children in tow, so she could get out of there faster.

It's gorgeous weather, not December at all. It's warm and sunny here in Texas.
