My mother turned an ungodly sum yesterday. I got her an awesome birthday present. A kick ass computer! Yeah, I am quite happy with myself!

The news regarding my little self-published gem is… I decided to wait. It will arrive tomorrow. I am ready to push the approve button!

Why is it that other people bring life into focus? What I mean is, I thought my house was clean. Or at least clean enough. I asked my exterminator to lay down a perimeter of death to stop the ants from marching through… he arrived today and immediately I realized that my house was a mess. Things I hadn’t noticed were suddenly glaringly obvious! Luckily he left and so everything is back to fuzzy perfection!

I wish I weren’t so convinced of people’s depravity. There’s a person in my life who is very kind to me YET I can’t help but cast him as an Ellsworth Toohey. Perhaps he really is kind and meaning no harm… or maybe he is undermining and planning for my downfall. I don’t quite know. It’s odd but when we are together, I get the distinct feeling he is my pilot fish.
