bodum

my nose is runny. i always get sick after spending an extended period of time with my sister's kids. i should have been washing my hands more frequently. brendan keeps telling me "you're fine", i kind of like it went he tells me that. it's good to hear from time to time. however, i'm not sure if he's right. he keeps telling me that he avoids colds by sheer will power, and that i'll get sick if i concede. i'm don't know about that, but i suppose denial is something i haven't tried before, so it's worth a short.

last night we went out to the west end for dinner at nancy + gerry's place. i figured while we were out there i might as well run some errands. but in true lesley fashion i ran out of time and only made 4 of my 7 stops. i got up this morning and did the rest because they didn't necessarily HAVE to be done in that part of town. i really need to get a better handle on time. it's tricky. i've been enjoying this week off because i can get stuff done around the pad. i wonder how long i could putsy around my house for until i feel a need to get out and be active and participate with others. like, if i didn't have to work, could i contently do chores and run errands with little to no human interaction for a couple days? couple weeks? indefinitely?? a month of saturdays? a year of saturdays?? i dunno. i'm curious. it's an interesting thing to ponder when i'm not in that situation. for now it's very refreshing.

i should get back to my chores. my fridge is in rough shape.

if only they could turn around, they would know they weren't alone.
