After reminding the other people going to Hecate's Sickle, not to wear cotton long underwear; I have discovered that my non-cotton long underwear is at Tyson's. *headslap*

I need to bribe Chris into driving me to Freddy's when he gets home at eight-thirty. I'm too shaky to walk. That, and it's dark and raining, which makes it really un-fun anyway.

So while I'm at Freddy's buying food and Scotchguard and an umbrella, I need to grab non-cotton long underwear. Hopefully they have some. Gaaah.

For those of you who don't know, cotton is pointless if you're going to be out when it's raining. The second it gets wet, you're toast. The phrase among tree-sitters is "cotton kills." I'm going to be wearing jeans over the long underwear because that's all I have (I wore wool pants from an army surplus store when I was tree-sitting), but my cape is pretty long anyway, and it's what's against the skin that matters the most.

I just drank the last of that powdered soy drink mix. When I've absorbed enough of the calories not to have shaky hands, I'll work on my cape.

There has got to be a way to bring some of your health issues around, at least a little bit...

*hugs*

If I could eat some more and get more sleep, that would help a lot, right there.

and less caffeine and smoking. You would probably be much better off.

I need more sleep and better food as well. Too many late nights and t.v. dinners. So not good for me.

"Cotton kills" is also "the phrase" among long-distance hikers, too. I know it's serious, but when James was hiking I used to make jokes about death by cotton ALL the time. Hahaha.

*nod* Probably cross-over among those groups.

Death by cotton!! *lol*
