[Somehow, Alexis has managed to make it through the day thus far without wandering too far into rather depressing thoughts. From holidays to love experiments to the draft, Alexis made a point of bouncing back from each and every one and treating the next day as A Normal Day.
It's wearing on her.
She goes shopping today after school: looking in the Item Shop, ducking into the bakery, rifling through clothes in the clothing shop. She even goes to Seventh Heaven for a nice lunch she doesn't have to cook for herself. She's on her way across town, heading for the library, when she opens the journal and leaves a message:]
So I was thinking of doing some baking again. Everyone seemed to enjoy the chocolate chips cookies last time. Should I make them again or try something different? I'd be willing to take requests.
[Afterward, she goes into the library and finds those books of her father's. She'll find a place back in Seventh Heaven and will be found idly thumbing through the books, reading and rereading phrases she already knows too well.]
[[ooc; I'm still a bit slow -- computer issues and spending break with family -- so please have patience. :)]]
