goodness!

   I been doing a lot of thinking, come to a lot of realizations, feelin' grown for it. I may not have made good decisions in the past but at least I learned from them!
   I think I rather liked being aloneish this past week and not having transportation cus really, where would I have rather been than sitting on Omi's couch in front of the picture window (sunshine!) reading, reading, reading.
   Ok, ok. Devin and others made me get out of the house. I am so so glad to be reconnecting with old friends.
Three-way phone conversation:
Devin: One of the dogs at my dad's house died last night and then my dad resuscitated it.
Me, stirring pasta: Shut the fuck up!
Amy: *cracks up laughing*
I had coffee with Sarah and that was lovely to sit in the sunshine and catch up.
I stay up late reading and texting Devin every hour or so exclaiming over some new thing that has occurred in the Dublin of the fever series.
   I made homemade pesto yesterday because I realized that I had all the implements!! Mum bought pistachios to eat in her hotel room and brought them home, and we have basil growing in a pot outside now. It tastes all nutty and earthy and smells strongly herby and lovely. I was really proud of myself.
   Yesterday I also helped at a funeral wake (sad) but basically spent the whole morning and early afternoon hanging out with really cool old ladies (I LOVE OLD PEOPLE), though I felt sick initially and then scraped the back of my leg really badly on a cart. We took home leftover salads and I am making healthy chicken tenders today.
   IIIII am tripped up sometimes, but right now, looking over the past week, I feel like threads are coming together. I don't have a lot to complain about, and I have a lot to be thankful for.
