I’d dance if I had something to say

This morning I went to the park. A fly was biting me, so I stayed in the car and wrote a letter to my friend J in Chicago and talked on the phone with my best friend E. It was a different kind of morning. I watched a guy throw a ball and his dog… Read More »

weird chili

Today I wanted to make chili, so I did. But I forgot the tomatoes. Chili without tomatoes just doesn’t work for me. The other thing that made it weird was the mushrooms.

home safe

I had a fabulous birthday weekend with my parents. I also got to see my best friend E–we went to the park. Some highlights were enchiladas, cheesecake, apples, and beautiful crocheted warmnesses. The lowlight was slight car trouble: a malfunction light came on this morning, and I think we need to take our car to… Read More »

good mail day

I received Asylum Letters #0 and Calendar Girl #5. Today we worked an in-person job. My mind is still overwhelmed with too much social contact. Tomorrow after work we go on a journey. We plan to leave straight from work, so there are preparations to make this evening.
