Well, hello, October

[brightlotusmoon]

This isn't my favorite season, but it is my favorite month, and it is also the last month of the year according to certain calenders. The god is dying, the world is turning, the veil between worlds is thinning. Welcome to the harvest.
Also, I just love saying the word "October."
Also, eight is my favorite number.

I wanted to endure the migraine without drugs, but screw it; I took a Flexeril and drank it down with coffee. Much better.
Adam wanted to go to GameStop, and after that we hopped over to the Trader Joe's on the other side of the shopping center. I got their Charmingly Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. They're amazing. Best store-bought packaged cookies I've ever eaten.

The fibro flare has wound down, and now I am merely aching all over with occasional twinges and random bursts of minor pain. This is my Doing Better.

Oh, gods, Rose is lounging on Adam's lap and she's smiling. Like, actually smiling. Adam is lying on the long couch playing on the PlayStation, and Rose is doing mashy-paws on his belly and she's smiling. And earlier, Luna gave me kisses for twenty minutes straight. Damn, I love my cats.

I have been having the most bizarre, awesome dreams lately. I'm actually looking forward to having dreams tonight.

I want to hear about the awesome dreams!

Also, October is indeed a great month. And, if Terry Pratchett is right, it's the most magical month, too :)

I wish I could remember enough to transcribe them@ All I remember is small bits of awesomeness.

I do love this month, and autumn in general--it's when my favorite apples start appearing (Winesap & Winesap offspring/blends, Arkansas Black, Cox's Orange Pippin & its cousins--all late harvest apples), I can start sleeping better again in the coolth, and all the gorgeous intense colors. I wanted an October baby, to counteract all the blasted January-when-we're-broke birthdays in my family. I stupidly listened to someone else's advice on late-start babies (after 35), being harder to produce due to age & even mild caffeine intake (2 c. tea most days, no coffee/lattes then). She said it'd take a while before I caught. Yeah, sure. TWO cycles afte we left off the "kitty booties". What'd I get? A January baby. Feh.

Eight is also my favorite number, in spite of 47 and 29.

I am a heretic to chocolate lovers: I have never liked chocolate *chip* cookies--choclate chunk in the same dough, I might consider, but I really like chocolate doughed cookies better. The cardamom cookies they get some Yuletides are fantastic, and tiny. My favorite currently is their Carrot-cake cookies iwth the frosting inside. The Maple cookies aren't too far behind.

I no longer seem to get much in the stream of consciousness dreams, but I get plotted stories. That changed with topomax or the next mood stabilizer I took. Hate not getting to the end.

Sleep well and dream awesome.
