Indeed. Snow onscreen is much easier to clean up, isn’t it?

I love the new theme. I’ve recently moved away from the and love looking at snow scenes. The idea of snow on real streets is something else.

Hi Paul! Good to hear from you! I’m glad the new look gave you a smile.

It was absolutely adorable. I smiled until my cheeks hurt, and my best friend issue an in-person thanks to all. Which prompted quite a bit of internal screaming and jumping about. It was fun all around.

If we get any real snow at all this year, I’ll definitely send it express post to your door.

How wonderful! I love it when the little ones are brave enough to speak up like that.

I get that sometimes. I assume it’s because I’ve awoken from the wrong part of a sleep cycle. Sometimes I don’t really believe what time it is until I start my shift at work. I need that geographic distance before I can reset myself. It’s like the whole world is just pretending that I’m awake or just pretending to be real or something until that happens. (I think half of it is that I want to convince myself that I should go back to bed.)

It usually follows, incidentally, believable and quotidian dreams. Once I dreamt that I went to bed and put something on the table next to my bed. When I woke up the next morning, it took hours to shake the feeling that that object ought to have been there.

My point is, it’s a normal but disconcerting phenomenon. I think, personally, stress triggers it. At least, I’ve been getting it increasingly the last few months and I’m increasingly stressed for the same period.

And I’ve known lots of folks who can’t remember their dreams. (The only mammals that don’t dream are tree anteaters, incidentally. Unless your father had severe sleeping abnormalities, he dreamt.) I’ve tried convincing them that they dream and just don’t remember it, but they never believe me. I have given up since.

Kate, sorry it took me a few days to respond. I’m sorry, too, that you’ve lost friends because you trusted them with your background. It makes me furious when people who lost so much to ritual abuse in the past lose things to ritual abuse long after it’s over. My best to you, Kate. Take care and keep yourself safe!
