Notebooks and hospitals

Pop woke me up this morning by poking me on the shoulder and sticking a beautiful handmade notebook about two centimeters from my face. "Look what I found at a yardsale," he said.

"Look at what I found," I said, holding up my alarm clock. "And look - it hasn't rung yet." But then I took a better look at the notebook and forgave him instantly. It's a wonderful piece of craftsmanship, hemp bound and closed with a piece of bamboo that fits through two small holes in the front cover. It's almost too pretty to write in.

Little sis is still in the hospital, recovering from foot-draining surgery. Lots of digusting fun. I spent something like seven hours with her yesterday, watching Animal Planet and Anastasia and talking about various random things. I love that hospital - it doesn't smell like a hospital, which is a great relief. My sense of smell pretty much determines my comfort level in strange environments.

LiveJournal was being screwy yesterday, so I didn't manage to make my daily post, but that's okay, because hey, nothing much to report. Just the usual drabble. And since I didn't get to post it, you get an extra bonus two drabbles today!
