Sounds like the other commenter got it. I'm commenting because the only time I've ever posted about a book o couldn't remember was "The Dark Lord of Derkholm" also by Diana Wynn Jones! Great book of you haven't read it. She wrote Howell's Moving Castle too.

People who can don't get mad and just go with the flow, how do you do it? in c/[email protected]

Drink more water! Whenever I find myself grumpy, the culprit is usually dehydration... It makes everything harder IMO. Ymmv etc etc anecdata

Do you drink tea and if so why? in c/[email protected]

I second this. I have one small cup of strong black coffee in the morning since that's all I can take, and then I switch to a thermos of hot loose leaf mint tea -- probably 4 cups a day or more. It's just so much more interesting than water, and helps keep things settled

If Earth were a penny, Antares would be the length of a basketball court! (skyandtelescope.org)
 

We noticed a bright twinkling red star around 10:15 pm GMT-4 about 20° (complete estimate) above the horizon to the SE as seen from east coast USA. I googled it and matched up the rest of Scorpio that was visible, and thought I'd share some cool facts about Antares :)
