I wish all Engrish speakers merry Christmas, and some delicious chinese (food).
Christmas can be fun, if you only do it for like,...
Today I took the kids Christmas shopping (“the kids” being younger siblings). We went all around downtown and bought reindeer antler headbands from the dollar store, and wore them. The antlers had jingley bells on them. We were like a happy herd. Driving around, all I could see in the rearview mirror was the antlers, bobbing around. The car was full of antlers and jingling. And I...
notebook excerpt from Nov. 21
I went to get a handful of Frosted Mini Wheats and while I stood in the pantry munching them, I read the backs and sides of the cereal boxes. The Mini Wheats one said ” Eat together”, “Take your family grocery shopping” and I thought “what the heck is the good of that.” I am quite sure somebody just made that up, but reading it, you somehow get the feeling that...
Almost any time that I begin to become too squirrelled in my head and depressed, I realize that it is because I do not have enough things to do, or am not doing the things that I should be doing. Is this because I don’t notice these causes for depression when I am busy, because I am too busy? Or is it because they only appear when the business abates? Is there a difference?
Last night, I dreamed we went to this family’s house, the people for whom I occasionally babysit, for Thanksgiving. I had to wash my hair in their tub, which was awkward, and then the rest of the dream was me trying to get dressed, but I couldn’t do it except for reeeaaaaaaaally slowly. I always hate that sort of dream.
I actually did spend the day in bed yesterday. And you know, it worked.
Happy once, happy twice
I will be happy if I can just get the dinosaur shirt for Christmas.
Now I have a cold. I sing the chicken noodle soup with rice song in my head. It goes like this.
In January it’s so nice, while slipping on the sliding ice, To sip hot chicken soup with rice. Slipping once, sipping twice, sipping chicken soup with rice. In February it will be my snowman’s anniversary, With cake for him...
Sometimes, one has to take medicines that make one sleepy, and I like this. I like taking sleepy medicines at around the time I would fall asleep anyway, because then falling asleep is so easy. I have always had a strange relationship with sleep. Sleep is like a cat. It is going to do what it wants to do, and you just have to accept that. That is the only way you will ever have a nice time with...
I don’t know how valid of a reason not wanting to regret it is for not doing something you want to do. Part of me thinks it’s a really good reason, and part of me says what a lame reason that is.
I love presents. I am not so into present-giving times, like Christmas, but just presents out of the blue are the best things ever, I think. One of the best things, anyway.
