I'm wearing myrtlewood perfume today. I don't wear it very often, because I don't wear any perfume very often, but I felt like it today. It's pleasant, it's understated, and unlike most florals, it does not make me want to sneeze. Plus, it can adapt to my moods; it's not one of those incessantly-cheerful sorts of scents (which are usually "cloying" in my dictionary, and almost inevitably make me want to sneeze).
Right now it smells of home (Oregon) and the coast. It also smells of sorrow, and confusion. My day is still going pretty well, actually, though I have a bug I can't touch, which is the confusion part. I mean, the crash dump goes off, but - there's no file where there should be! Run the program that does the crash dumps and IT claims there was no crash, when it just said it was logging it a minute before....
The sorrow? Perhaps premature - I hope so, but it really doesn't sound that way - because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cadhla has two cats (one hers, one her roommate's) at the vet, with symptoms of what may well be black widow bites. She's written about that already, I'm just sitting here, not even in the same state, and wishing that all the magic I love to read about in books were, even if for just one brief moment, real enough to intervene.
