sometimes it's just the most comfortable place

it's been a relatively busy past few weeks. and it's not ready to start slowing down yet. boo.

on that note, Ini, i am working on a letter to send to you and Hutzi, but we have been so busy lately! now that our summit is over, elections are over, i should have some more time soon! i still, as well, need to find you the notebook binder! oy! i'm such a bad big brother, and a terrible foreign "son"!

tomorrow evening is the first KEC board meeting that i'll actually be attending as a board member! i'm in charge of taking minutes. i hope i don't fuck up. as i tend to have a habit of fucking up. blarg.

i spent a little bit of time doing some yard work today. i cleared out the peony bushes, and trimmed down the dead purple cone flower stalks. scott also helped me clean out some of the leaves and spiny ball seed things from the sidewalk. it's starting to look much nicer! i can't wait to get the garden up and going! (and to see if the seeds i planted decide to sprout)

unfortunately, spring always means two (bad) things for me.
1) terrible allergies. blerg.
2) sun rash. (gross, TMI, sorry) but it's flipping terrible! all over my hands, my elbows, and on my legs. it's itchy, and painful.

okay. i'm going to go eat a cookie. and get ready for bed. gn8!

verbal vomit

"the joker, please..."

still feeling sad, and i don't know why.  but i guess i'm feeling better?  i think i'd feel better if i were a bit more certain on some things in my life, but, life is rarely certain.  i think tomorrow after class, when i should be working on classwork, i'm going to watch a sad movie, and drink a bit of wine (or partake in some herbal refreshment).  

i have been stress eating recently, but thankfully it hasn't become a big problem yet.  (by which i mean, i haven't ballooned too much yet)  

on the subject of food, i found two new recipes i am going to try this week.  one is called "cheddar chowder" and the other is a recipe for pumpkin pankakes.  (they were both from this survivalist handbook, but i won't let that turn me off... completely)  i'll let you know how both of them taste.  (i'm hoping delicious!)

i have so much to do in the next week, and so very little time to do it.  but, i'm just taking everything one day at a time.  kinda like that soap opera right?  and btw, my phone has cocked up yet again.  at least once a day, i get the "white screen of death" and have to pull the battery out for 5m or so.  i cannot wait until i can get a new one...

final note.

one of my neighbor ladies (from my parent's home, who is pretty much my grandmother) was mugged last saturday night in her own driveway.  she was attacked from behind, her necklace and purse were stolen.  when i found that out, it made me feel sick to my stomach.  i can't believe someone would do that.
