the thing is, i think i’d be dead right now if it wasn’t for the whole permanence and messiness of it.

i really like that whole three days in the grave thing. i suppose i could go for a long weekend in haverhill, and that would be similar.

seriously: not happy right now. hope this helps.

1. joined the national bone marrow donor registry today. can’t donate if i’m dead with this one.

2. although rain was predicted, it did not rain. it’s sunny right now.

3. all cats are healthy, and shots are now up to date. they also don’t hate me too much.

4. dug out my old exercise bike and brought it to my dad to use. he just had knee replacement surgery.

5. last few poems did not suck. (edited to reduce qualification)

6. i’m off the most debilitating of my meds, seroquel, for a test period.

7. my mockingbird is back for the fifth year in a row.

8. i’m home alone working on a paper. i’m back in college, and i’m keeping up.

9. i have incense lit and feel like a friggin hippie and don’t care.

10. i don’t feel that naming these things is an invitation to have them disappear. at least, not this minute. i’ll take this minute.

(thanks, d, for the inspiration.)
