So today is starting out real well
I didn't get to sleep until close to 11pm because I touched up my roots when I got home from work and that takes about six hours. Then I woke at 4:09am from a weird and stressful dream (see below) and couldn't fall back asleep. Decided to get up at 4:30. Got some clothes together and headed downstairs to shower. Only after my shower, and after ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mckitterick had relocated to my (quieter and more comfy) bedroom did I realize I'd grabbed the short leggings instead of the long ones, the tight knee-length skirt instead of the loose mid-thigh one, and (worst of all) no bra.
I'm gonna have to go upstairs soon to get at least the bra because going braless is incredibly uncomfortable for me. Ugh.
So, the dream: I was on a flight to no idea where, just it was an intercontinental flight on one of those giant planes with multiple stories. This one even had separate small rooms. Odd. Dreams, wtf. I got seated with my two companions (just dream people, nobody I know in waking life) and realized I'd left my leather jacket in the airport. I had a fit/breakdown because y'all, my leather jacket is really important to me. I bought it during my first trip to Chicago in the early 90s and of all the items of clothing in my wardrobe, it's the one that probably has the most of my character in it--not just because I've had it for so long. It's just...very me. It's a men's size small traditional biker jacket, and it's slightly too big for me, especially in the arms. I've never treated it (yet--I really need to), so the leather is worn and thin in several places. It looks tough and cozy at the same time and I just feel so good in it. It's gone to countless concerts, and has actually been on a couple (8+ hour) motorcycle trips. I can't find any pictures of me in it that show the full jacket, but here's probably my favorite picture of me while wearing it:
Look at that beautiful wear on the shoulders. All the seams are like that, and the arms and back are pretty weathered, too.
Man, I love that jacket.
So anyway, I left the jacket in the airport (along with my ticket, somehow, I have no idea, it was a dream) and I was begging the flight attendants to let me go back to get it. I was even willing to ditch the trip in order to get the jacket (and would probably do so in real life as well I am not kidding that jacket is hella important to me). I kept talking to person after person after person and I was getting so frustrated and exhausted that I decided there was no getting off this airplane or out of this dream in a satisfactory manner, so I woke myself up and then couldn't fall back asleep.
So I guess I've got a good head start on the day. I'll be at Steve's Meat Market in DeSoto to pick up the half cow right when they open at 8am. Yay.
And now I gotta go get a bra. Sorry,mckitterick

I got this... years of winter weather treatment for motorcycle gear
I do mine in an evening movie watch.

You can get the Dr. Jackson's right from Tandy Leather here. (http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/product/dr-jacksons-hide-rejuvenator-21978-00.aspx)
I love the stuff. It lasts forever, too, I still have a container from the 80s on hand! It does have a lanolin odor, but that dissipates out to leave the original leather scent. For anyone else reading, it does darken light color leather, but we're talking black leather here.
Oh, and if your jacket is really dirty, saddle soap first. You can leave it a wee bit damp when applying the Dr.J, it will hold the moisture into the leather. (Good)

Glad to be of service!

you're embarking on a new journey of healing (taking flight) with someone you don't know and on some level, you fear it may mean having to give up a great comfort that's been a part of yourself for a long time.
Did you know that there really are planes with separate sleeping rooms? I have a great desire to fly on one someday!
no subject
I haven't seen the planes with separate rooms, but when we went to Italy, first class had close-able sleeping pods. Alas, we were in business class.

Perhaps alas, I may never have the means for a separate suite flight, (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2157687/Airline-offers-passengers-luxury-private-suites-complete-double-bed-Italian-stitched-armchair--theres-need-worry-leg-room.html)but it's nice to dream, innit?
