Wednesday night

Today has been about visiting with Papaw, tatting, and Good Eats. Nothing exciting has happened, but nothing horrible has happened, either, so all is well. I woke up with an eye issue that resolved itself easily.. ie, a warm washcloth did it, no drops required. It went away completely, but now tonight it's feeling very tired. Magnus said that I seemed unusually sleepy this morning, in general. I didn't sleep well at all.. I had crazy dreams. I hate it when that happens. When I woke up, I was dreaming that Keith Whitley came back from the dead and wanted to hide out at my grandfather's house.. the one who just had surgery and was just then home from the hospital, and he was asking if it was okay and also why was he willing to help him.. I have no clue why he didn't just go home.. if he was actually at my grandfather's house, he would be less than five miles from his mother's house and I suspect that he would sorta wanna see her after all this time. He sang Brother Jukebox, too and gyrated wildly, which seems a little out of character. This is particularly weird, really, since I am (or was) actually related to him, but not on that side of the family. He was my grandmother's great-nephew, I believe, so, whatever that would make us. Third cousins? I think I met him, but I was quite young and could care less about this particular grownup. He wasn't all that famous then, either. He is in lots of the pictures from the festivals and such the parents went to, though.

That was incredibly random.

I've been fascinated by a site with pictures of snowflakes today. Actual snowflakes made of ice, and all. And I, of course, keep looking at them and thinking "oooh, I can tat that!" Of course, I can't, but I still think I can. I haven't tried my hand at designing yet.. I don't really think I'm quite ready for it, though I'm keeping the idea firmly in mind. Especially since I happen to like doing snowflakes.

I talked to my mudbaby tonight for the first time in a while. I was explaining to her that she should get together with this particular guy. You know how when like, you're watching a tv show and it's so completely obvious that two of the characters will fall in love, but they don't realize it or pretend that they're not interested and just keep dating other people? Early Friends, Ross and Rachel type thing? It's that exactly with her and this guy. They claim they love each other, but then explain all the reasons that they can't be together. I was pretty close friends with the guy for a while, though we haven't talked much for three years or something. I heard it all from him, and I've heard it all from her. After a few years of distance, I feel like it's especially obvious, and I'd like to be able to snap my fingers and make their problems dissolve so they can move on with the business of being happy again. I'm so hopelessly naive.
