1. i love getting mail. today i got a card from my mom that said she had always wished for a daughter. belkis sent me a card too! it has lovely deer and birds on it. i bought them cards a few weeks ago and am excited to send them out.

2. i know that life is essentially a lonely experience, but i also know that i have been very touched by others.

3. pumpkin cookies! Dr. Welser said, "i think pumpkin cookies in the morning taste like victory."

4. mom's excitement over having a girl's night out, just the two of us. hopefully i don't turn into a bitch upon seeing her this time. i don't know where this sleeping rage is hiding.

5. although i worry about my dad's health, he seems so happy with what he's doing in arkansas. watching him drink and sink into sadness and pennilessness--i am so glad that's over.

6. Bon Iver spontaneous a cappella.
