4 things.

This is either a) me being a better flister and posting regular stuff a little more often or b) me spamming you just a little with random me stuff. Up to you which it is =)

1. I'm so sick of waking up in the early hours of the morning with cramps. 4am this morning and this has been nearly 2 weeks now. I think too that I'm possibly putting too much faith in the restorative power of make-up this morning.

2. After I'd gone back to bed after my nasty early wake-up call, I had a Primeval dream! I admit to being just a little pissed at my brain that it never, ever provides anything Merlin-related when I sleep. *sighs* Anyway, this Primeval dream was quite amusing really - standard monster-of-the-week kind of thing where geek-boy and soldier-boy save the day - which of course is how it should be as they're my favourite characters and yes, I do give them all different names to their actual character names =)

3. I had an amusing conversation with my 5 year old nephew recently. He very earnestly was arguing with me, pretty much telling me I was clearly stupid and that of course there was no such thing as ninja's, though it was highly possible that dragons existed. ORLY? This is the same nephew who once wet his bed when he stayed over at mine and told me in the morning - with a completely straight face like it was the most believable story ever - that a policeman had come in during the night and done it, and it wasn't him.

4. I've not recced any Merlin fics lately but any that I've loved (and there haven't been too many lately, sadly) have been added to my Delicious bookmarks. If you're only going to read only one, then read Four Things One Should Know About Merlin (and One Things Nobody Knows About Arthur because it's just wonderful and will put a happy grin on your face =)

*hugs all*

What kind of cramps? Muscle cramps? Had that too and it is nasty because when it was time to get up I hat to limp around because my leg still hurt. It probably means you are low on magnesium and calcium. Just get some from a drug store and you should be fine in no time.

*hugs* I get cramps bad too :( Fill an old sock with some uncooked rice (not instant rice, the regular kind) and heat it in the microwave for 2 minutes (more or less.) The heat feels really nice on the cramping areas :)

LMAO @ #3. Little kids can be wicked funny and say such cute things!

Awww!! That story you rec-ed was so adorable! :D

When I have more time, I'll check out those bookmarks you mentioned :)

LMAO, I love TV-show related dreams, they are always the most bizarre affairs, at least in my case.

Mwah!

Ugh. Cramps. Your poor thing! I finally told my doctor I wanted birth control, just for the non-birth control reasons. Now I am mostly cramp free and it is so much nicer.

Kids are dolls. I used to be a children's librarian (for like, 6 months because that job sucks) and the kids in my toddler time would do the most adorable things. I miss them, but not that job. Teens are much easier, ironically.

1. Yay, now we can suffer together... I've spent most of the afternoon in bed, because I've been having cramps myself... A problem shared is a problem halved? [Do you actually say that in English?]

2. Awww :D I'm envious, I've never had a fandom-related dream before xD Then again, I rarely remember any dreams, I have.

3. The stories little children tell are the best ever :D ♥ That's one of the reasons I enjoy doing children's service so much :D

*hugs*
