its a relief to know that my mom made it through her knee replacement surgery fine, not that i was extremely worried, but any surgery is a little un-nerving. i took off of work tomorrow night to go visit her. i'm not sure if i want to see what it looks like...just the thought of it grosses me out really bad.

i've been consumed by thoughts of summer nights recently. there's nothing better than hearing the crickets chirp while relaxing in the summer night--not too hot but just crisp enough to need a light sweatshirt but no shoes. it sounds gross, but i look forward to the 4 month span of unwashable dirt on my feet from being barefoot all the time.
the first house that i own will have a stone patio, with plants surrounding it, creating a tropical, outdoor room. i'll have one of those firepits for chilly nights, a barbeque grill and a comfy set of patio furniture. i want to host summer get-togethers and parties, lit only by bamboo torches. sitting around a table with the best of friends sipping on summer drinks is all i want at this moment, i feel like it would rejuvinate me if i could have just one night of that.
