Dear AIM,
Given that you are one of my primary mediums of communication, it is totally not okay to crash. It's especially not okay to not-quite-crash, leaving me to believe that various people are just writing really really really long responses to me. And 3 times in one night is just overkill.
Thanks,
Cat.

So, I had this weird dream last night. Weird it it's almost normality, really. I mean, I was watching birds outside my window, and then someone told me about a job they thought I should apply for. Except that, you know, there was a lion outside my window as well, and it was Jack from Torchwood suggesting a job in the interstellar fleet. Apparently Kentucky is like a whole 'nother planet.
It's stuck with me all day. Partially because my reaction to the lion was to think that Mom would be annoyed that it was messing up the brush pile, and possibly for my excitement over seeing a grosbeak and a hummingbird, even in my dream. (Albeit a hummingbird that was potentially going to be reclassified into the same class as dragons. I love that even in my dreams Mom is up on the latest bio news.)

And I got my vegan baking books, so yay. And the strawberry cupcakes were good if not really strawberryful. And I'm reading Ursula Vernon's new children's book, and I'm definitely enjoying it more than I think my niece will, but that's okay. She's a tad young for it anyway.
And I have an appointment with an allergist next week. I should have gone a long time ago, but now that I think I'm developing new allergies I'm concerned enough to want to go. Especially since I'm worried about soy, and you know what soy's in? Everything. But worst of all, chocolate.

I can see how a soy allergy would be a big problem for a vegan.

Well, I haven't actually gone vegan. Just that I'm allergic to eggs, so the vegan baking books are terribly useful. But since I was only just discovering the wonders of tofu as an egg substitute, I'm more than a little miffed.

maybe I'll send you a care package of organic single-source fair trade chocolate bars? Surely they wouldn't have soy in them..?

I don't know-what would they use for an emulsifier? I think that's what soy lecithin does, anyway.
I'm still hoping that it's something completely different, or some sort of bizarre coincidence or something. I hate having to be suspicious of food all the time.

I couldn't catch you on aim today but I thought you would want to know that I saw today that they have hired someone for that Children's job. Apparently JCPL doesn't want either of us in a full time capacity. I'm sorry. :(
