last night my car wouldn't start. i missed the party i was supposed to go to, and so i walked to miriam's. we played gin rummy as usual. i ended up sleeping over because it got late and they wouldn't let me walk home, even though i only live a block away. i'm glad things worked out the way they did because i haven't had a heart to heart with miriam in a long time. she's so concerned about me and my troubles that i didn't know what was going on in her life. it was nice to be there for here and
*just listen.*
today miriam left around 1ish in the afternoon and i stayed until 5pm talking to her mother, mrs. nazmy. we talked a lot. it was the first time that we had a real conversation, and i feel as though i've gained wisdom and encouragement. it also reminded me a lot of my big fat greek wedding. she's sweet, even when she's forcing me to eat and drink tea.
