Note to self (and free advice to all those prone to making the same mistakes as self, which hopefully does not include many...)

Have recently learned that sleeping on bed with polar fleece sheets, wool blanket and down comforter on steamy-hot summer night is not best path to restfulness and relaxation, although it may in fact be best path to waking up in middle of night thinking you are floating serenely atop cool, blue waters of swimming pool only to find you are dangerously close to drowning in pool of own sweat.

Am really excited about sleeping on cotton tonight after embarking on mad laundry spree and replacing hot, sweaty winter blankets with soft, thin Jersey-knit (almost as good as sleeping with Laura) cotton sheets. Also placed Hershey kiss pillow on bed (all other pillows being some shade of orange in color failed to match scheme of pink that was room in high school) and, besides the random and shockingly powerful cravings for chocolate at midnight, am feeling slightly more comfortable in old bed. Am heading there now in fact.

Will dream of you all.

Maybe.

Have not yet mastered art of lucid dreaming and will most likely end up dreaming about something entirely irrelevant and divorced from daily life. Am quite used to it by now.

Besitos,

Cata
