i got the h1n1 vaccine this evening. my arm is feeling a little sore, but other than that it was ok. i'd heard it was an especially painful needle but it really wasn't. i uncharacteristically felt nervous about getting the shot, but once it was in my arm it was totally fine. i kept reminding myself that i'm very accustomed to needles and it would be fine. i used to get allergy shots, and at the beginning got them as frequently as twice a week. i'm kind of glad that i'm so familiar with them, i feel like it's a good skill to possess – getting needles without batting an eye.

i've concluded that i really like december. not because of christmas, and not because of my birthday. it's truly a good month. even the word december is aesthetically pleasing.

i had a lovely time at book/knitting club tonight, except i didn't actually do any knitting. i'm at a bit of a tricky spot and i really need to concentrate to get past it. however, it was fun getting together and swoping stories. michelle gave us really lovely mittens for christmas :) and the girls all really liked my hair which was nice because i was having some doubts about it today.

sometimes it's funny to read back over old emails from years and years ago. awesome.
