That made me laugh. I hope you did not get stuck in the same traffic I did. That did NOT make me laugh. Did you know that I was five miles south of LC the whole weekend? That made me laugh.

This was during Pixieland's last gasp-1975-many rides were sold/gone already. I had a too-old-for-me boyfriend (he was 23, I was 16) who played the Villain (typecasting?) in the Melodrama.

Today it was sheer adrenaline cuz i have so much to do after being gone for 4 days -- errands, laundry, yard, homework I've been shirking. Too funny you worked at Pixieland -- tell me more. Did you love the vaudeville house? I did. Almost as much as the crazy ride with the pastel bears. (No, it wasn't the Grateful Dead, it was a haunted house.) Yeah, sometimes it’s worry.

Something that sometimes helps for me, (WARNING: UNSOLICITED ADVICE AHEAD!) is to make lists. Cuz often I'm wakeful cuz I'm anxious about stuff I need to do. If I make lists & write out plans, it takes away enough of the anxiety that I can go back to sleep. BTW, one summer I had a job in the Arcade at Pixieland (I lived in Lincoln City during High School). I had a headache EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. All those pinball machines (remember them?), etc. Insomnia REALLY SUCKS! Something that sometimes helps for me, (WARNING: UNSOLICITED ADVICE AHEAD!) is to make lists.
