it gets colder arms & shoulders.

for dinner i made vegetable rice pilaf & braised brussels sprouts. very delicious.

now i am eating chocolate chips out of the bag & making myself sick. genius.

i finally took my air-conditioner out of the window today & my apartment is 4314 times warmer & quieter now. because the a/c is heavy as fuck, & because i am irrationally afraid of the basement, i did not take it down three flights of stairs to store it.

it is cold & blustery out. my cat is curled up on my bed very cutely. i love her intensely. i have six different grains in my kitchen, & this makes me content. dear you, i love you, you don't worry please, i don't mind having these conversations for another six months. if everyone could please update your wishlists that would make things much easier. here, i'll start. my first applications are due in two weeks. i have to go edit my writing sample now.
