derien | the third stage of sleep

That wandering-through-the-morning-in-a-complete-daze-phase-of-sleep. I did do some dishes, called the management company maintenance woman back (because she wanted to come view the tub and fridge problems - but she wasn't answering the phone, so I left a message, and she still hasn't called back in well over an hour). Looked at my bank account (didn't balance it, but I looked at it), and went "eep!" but then realized that I have a paycheck coming in on Monday, so, yes, paying the rent IS an option yet again this month. Finished reading "One Last Look." Yesterday I think I located the characters in OLL in my history book of the British in India, "Raj"! In OLL there's Henry Oliphant who's the governor in Calcutta, and his sisters Eleanor and Harriet. Oliphant is releaved of duty after the Afghanistan debacle in which his aid (?) MacGregor is killed, and Ellenborough takes over as governor. In fact, Aukland was the name of the governor before Ellenborough, and the guy who was killed in Afghanistan wasn't MacGregor it was... Macsomethingelseican'tremember, but Aukland's sister, Emily Eden, also built beautiful gardens in Calcutta. (They were mentioned in "Raj" particularly because Ellenborough later let his men practice their horse maneuvers in her gardens.)

I'm dying to read Emily Eden's diaries now; they don't seem to be in print or readily available, but I've put them on my Amazon.com wish list. Have you seen this site? http://www.victoriamemorial-cal.org/ex_eden06.html I think it adds even more dimension to the story when you can see the paintings as well... :)
