Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is it real money, or is it Amazon dollars, or something?

It can be either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You mean something like the costume I played with last year in LA?

Exactly!

I need to learn a lot more krav before I can enter a class here dressed like this, either to TA or as a student.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just opened my birthday present from my aunt and uncle. It's a cookbook of Jewish vegetarian foods from around the world. I keep opening to random pages, and finding all this stuff that I've never heard of (a lot of middle eastern foods) that look so good. I think I might be cooking stuff from this book for the next several weeks, at least.

Yay for new foods! And yay for birthday presents that actually make you happy!

Nora! How are things going with you?

Ooh, that's a great present.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I feel very accomplished, or at least very socialized, this morning. I just got back had a nice snarky breakfast with Kat, followed by an irritating trip to the San Jose Airport. (Alaska Air can bite me.)

I've also put together my to do list for the day, but the first thing on it is nap.

Things are going pretty well... I am taking a graduate class (going for a Masters in Higher Education Administration) and right now, at this very moment I am procrastinating working on my second paper for the class by Nattering! I did well on the first paper, and I don't know if that is helping or hindering the process this time around though. Probably a little of both.

Other than that, Tom and I are enjoying our home. Did I tell you that we hung up the blessing plaque that you gave us? It's always in my line of vision when I'm watching TV so I am often feeling blessed and loved by Nilly while lounging around at home on the couch.

Perkins' to-do list must be a really good one.

Masters in Higher Education Administration

Oh, go you! Good luck with that.

I did well on the first paper

This deserves yet another "Go you!", I think.

What's the current paper about? Whenever I have to write something, I find it helps me if I talk about it to somebody, even if that somebody is myself.

Did I tell you that we hung up the blessing plaque that you gave us?

No, not until now. I'm so glad you did, too. Thanks for letting me know.

Now my present saw your new home, but I still haven't. Heh.
