summer student season is upon us. i met the first one today. she seemed really excited to see another young person and immediately assumed that mayelin and i were summer students as well. funnily enough she knows melinda and went on about how she was this cool hippy grade 11 girl. it was funny, mayelin was laughing but i looked at her and nodded because it was true.
this evening i decided to go onto my back porch (it's enclosed but not heated so i haven't been able to use it all winter) and work on a puzzle. i got very carried away and ended up finishing the whole thing. i was extremely surprised when i came thru to the house to discover that it was after 10:00!! wow! time flies when you're doing a puzzle!
i could have used a roach clip to hold the garlic as i grated it for my dinner.
i've been very reluctant to commit to anything lately. if i feel people have expectations of me it makes me want to shake them off. sometimes i find when i do something consistently for a while, i end up forming others expectations of me. they expect things to continue that certain way. i like having the freedom to change things up. i need routine, but only a very loosely formed routine. so instead of resenting the expectations, i'm just trying to let them slide, like water off a ducks back. and hope that consistency doesn't ultimately lock me in to commitments i didn't actually commit to.
tell me what to say i'll be your mouthpiece.

should i ask what you decided about the salad?
i ate it. well half of it. i lost interest half-way thru.
those best before dates should actually say "probably best before..."
maybe they are best before the date and then just average after.
i can't believe you have summer students. we are still finishing up our term.
