saccharin

the flame burned my fingers.

today's patients were a lot more work than usual. no one was feeling very chatty, so it was like pulling teeth to get them to chat. tis ok, i'm sure next week will be smoother. sometimes it seems like i have more in common with old folks than my own peers. we have the same hobbies (knitting, reading, traveling), care about connecting with people in small but meaningful ways, and we have pets to keep us company. i wonder if i'll still enjoy old people when i'm old.

i'm on a raspberry kick right now. i could just eat a bunch and not grow tired of them. i'm so happy that it's berry season.

sometimes i talk in my sleep. it's one of those things that you don't realize that you're doing it until you realize that you're doing it. apparently i was talking a lot last night until brendan interrupted me, so i snapped back at him "i'm talking to my dream", then rolled over. the thing i find amusing about sleep-lesley is that she does unpredictable things and she's quite funny.

i'm here, but i'm not all there.
