So, it snows here in Portland. I knew this when I moved back in August, but somehow it didn't sink in. When I stepped out of the airport yesterday, I stood in wonder of the "Really Small Hail" falling from the sky.
Its very pretty to look at. Much less pretty to be in. On my way home last night, I slipped on a spot of ice and landed flat on my ass in the middle of the street. Some homecomming.
I was lucky eough to spend the holiday in Long Beach with my mother. Thanksgiving saw a walk on the beach, then a long drive to West LA to visit my brother. I could write pages about that particular experience, but I'm still too tired to think it all through. I can say that I'm more comfortable with some of the decisions I made regarding my brother, no matter how cold they may seem to anyone else.
The birthday was lovely. Thank you all for the fabulous b-day wishes. Being twenty-four does not bring any new advantages. However, I still like the sound of it. A lot. Something about it makes me feel more confident and assertive. After all, if a twenty-three year old can speak her mind and get what she wants, a twenty-four year old should be comfortable with commanding power and respect.
The apartment is cold and the cat is peacful. Must spend some time runing errands.
