i know some of you are wondering where i've been.
i've been listening to leonard cohen (pre-monk), starring out of windows, and drinking herbal teas until i have to pee. i took up embroidery for a while, but where did all my string go? i'll have to ask my cats.
it passes the time.
i also spent and evening at a mental institution, not because i did anything really crazy, just to get some free help. i don't recommend passing time in mental institutions unless it's absolutely necessary. i ate candy, watched nbc, and managed to fall asleep a few times while people waited on me and talked softly. the soft talking was like a vacation from my house, but otherwise it was depressing. sometimes poor people have to do certain things they don't want to do in order to get by in this country... especially the ill or those with children.
i have since learned many "poor people tricks" and in turn get relief from recent stresses.
when we were children our elders always told us not to lie. the truth is really in when and how to lie and how not to get caught.
