Silver linings!

The bad news: The storm last night kept me awake for about an hour with the crazy lightning and thunder.

The good news: I was already mostly awake from monthly cramping.

Good times!

I'm grateful that the two coincided on a night when I could sleep in the following morning.

Today is The Big Push to finish my costume for opening weekend. My goal is to completely finish it today so I have tomorrow and next week to make something to wear to next weekend's wedding.

For those who haven't seen it elsewhere, may I present the band Mariachi Connecticut serenading a Beluga whale. ( Click for video )
