oh my goodness, it's -9º outside (with the windchill), no wonder i was frickin cold when sarah and i drove home tonight.
sometimes i think it's too bad we only get one shot at life. earlier this evening i was at aphra's birthday party, and she has two pet birds. they were quite fascinating, and it made me think having a pet bird would be really neat. they are more interesting and more low-maintenance than fish. but i really like my cats, and i can't see myself opting for a bird over a cat down the road when on the market for new pets. myron said i could have both. perhaps he's right, but i don't think i have room for a birdcage right now. but i'm serious, i wish we had more than one go at life, because there's a lot of things and experiences i'd like to have had – places lived, professions studied, summer jobs, relationships with grandparents/other family members – but really, we can't always have it all ways. i know there are other desires that will come with time, we can't have everything at once, and it's ok to leave those other things (like dreadlocks) to down the road when it's more appropriate.
i sent you something in the mail. it'll be there in 5 to 7 business days.
i woke up this morning feeling like a load of bricks. and i realized, i'm simply a bad-waker-upper. it doesn't matter how many hours i sleep, or at what time i went to bed (mind you it was after 2 a.m.) i still feel exhausted when i wake up. i really liked staying in all day today and not rushing, but it's also kind of annoying that on my ONE free day of the week i just spend it at home instead of downtown. and it's worse now, because daylight is so limited, and i didn't have time to pluck my plants in preparation for winter, i guess that'll have to wait til next weekend, unless i find some time tomorrow.
i hope you're well.
i want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real".

HEY i just realized, some day i'd like to have a dog (like in my 40's), i could TOTALLY have a dog and a bird at the same time. no problem!
right on, problem solved.
umm... is the thing that you don't want one pet to eat the other? i hate to burst your bubble... but my dogs would eat a bird. but i guess maybe you could keep the dog outside.
dog-bird questions aside, i totally know what you mean. except i'd like to continue leading my independent woman lifestyle all the way to menopause, but i'd also like to settle down, get married, have kids etc.
i know, i had a dog that was a bird-catcher. BUT the difference between cats and dogs is that a dog isn't going to climb up my furniture and sit on top of the bird cage.
i can't help but wonder if that mail is for me... ooh the excitement!
i'm glad i waited until the dreadlocks were more appropriate, and oh so glad that i've got them - otherwise i think i'd have always regretted it.
hmmm, maybe/maybe not. i'm not saying anything..... ;)
see! just goes to show my more appropriate time plan makes good sense! thanks dawna, and i'm glad you got that chance :)
