well, it seems like i'm awake...
i'm in the dangerous circumstance of not being able to tell if the smell is from a gas leak or from the pollution outside. i'm keeping the windows closed despite the headache; i'm waiting until the weather comes up a little, so i can see if the smell dissipates with the pollution. if i get light-headed, i'll have to open them.
i'm going to get something to eat and then get mixing. today must be productive. and i think it will be.
