So tired. Tiiiiiiiired. Social filters dropping out from under me tired. Which is handy timing, considering my need to entertain school busses full of strangers. I just have to carefully balance it...on the tiredness meter, right after total lack of social embarrassment comes incoherence.

I also have Phantom Hat twinges on my scalp. Odd.

It was another beautiful day at the castle. Thanks to everyone who came!! My parents were charmed by everyone they met, and struck everyone as Quite Nice. Heh.

After I found them in the parking lot (they'd left several hours before the end of the day TO SIT IN THE CAR ((because they're just! that! strange!)) ) we tried to find Captain Carlo's. No luck whatsoever. We wound up driving for a half hour along the coastline of Gloucester and finally stopping at a place called The Catfish Grille, which had no catfish on the menu. It did, however, have an elderly man at the next table on his first date with a tracheotomy and his little speaking box turned up to max. An hour of conversations like:

Me: So, what did you see?
Mom: Well, we liked your--
Guy: MY FIRST WIFE MOVED TO FLORIDA AND MY SECOND WIFE IS IN COLORADO.
Dad; Now, did you shoot into the ocean on purpose?
Me: Um, well,
Guy: DO YOU LIKE SWING DANCING.

Must go drink beverages and rest. xoxoxo
