"My head is starting to feel tickly."

I'm being invited to Moscow by a photographer/violet friend. That makes my 2014 plans *so* much easier! Ima come back wearing everything I packed, cos my suitcases will be full of plants. lol

Also, Shinju has advanced dropsy, so I will euthanize him tonight. :(
