at my parents’ house

I’m not using firefox, so pardon me if my spelling’s atrocious. Today my mom cut my hair. Then we went out for breakfast at El Pueblito. Also, I found a $20 bill on the ground. We bought Chandler strawberries. They’re delicious. In the afternoon, my mom and I went to Avila Barn to look at… Read More »

happy doesn’t have to have an ending

Yesterday my friend A was in town. I went to lunch at a Mongolian BBQ place with her and her husband and their two daughters. The older daughter wasn’t eating, and the husband was anxious. So A was worried about them, and I was too. But I liked sitting next to A and talking to… Read More »

reprieve

Last night my friend A was in town because of some doctors appointments. I got to meet her new friend S. They picked me up, and we went to dinner at a Thai place. My yellow curry had a delicious sauce, but the veggies were underdone. I liked meeting S because she is very nice.… Read More »

toil

Today starts a two day job scoring CSET. Something new is that Erik’s friend T is scoring for the first time. I’m wondering about sitting with him at lunch and how it will be to have him around.

Any time the men are afforded a privilege, I… Read More »

happy anniversary

This morning we went for a walk through Santa Anita park and the residential area behind it. On someone’s front lawn we saw two turkeys. “Whoa,” I said. “What?” Erik asked. Then he saw them. There are no wild turkeys around here, so they must have been pets. They looked very calm and content. Then… Read More »

media

Last night I watched part of a movie with Erik. It’s called The Taste of Tea. I liked the little girl. Today we got a book in the mail, written by our friend Matt Schwartz. It’s called Blessings for the Hands.

eccentric

We went to McKinley park today, for a walk. I couldn’t stand to walk around here or around Howe Park again. McKinley park has a duck pond. And a library. We went in so Erik could look at their CDs and DVDs. We got a CD of Indian and Pakistani music–it’s good. Lately I’ve been… Read More »

done

Well, I finished the book. “How do you feel?” my friend A asked. I said, “Moved. Like crying but not crying.”
