as i sit here in a hoodie that is 6 sizes too big and that is marked with a university that i never attended, with a messy apartment and no clean towels, with an empty fridge and a long to do list, it seems so very strange that it will be christmas in just 4 short days. my apartment will be clean, my fridge and linen closet stocked, gifts will be wrapped and under the tree. my family will be here and turkey will be cooking and i will sleep in every day for a solid week.
i fear that my legs might fall off at any given moment. i sleep with heating pads to help ease the pain and i worry about the idea that your twenties are supposed to be your 'prime'.
but, that said, my headaches are gone. and that is a good thing.
when children are screaming and running around like mad and tattling on each other and throwing their lunches on the floor, it's hard not to shudder when you hear yet another 'kaaaaaaate....'. and then you clench your teeth and say 'yes?' and a darling little boy says, quite out of nowhere, 'my dog REALLY likes salami !!'
i gave him the biggest hug i had.
