softly, softly catchee monkey // 2002-03-04

last night i had all this pent up energy, like i wanted to do something, go somewhere, break something. i just didn't know where i wanted to go, what i wanted to do, or what i wanted to break. i never feel like that, so restless and irritable.

i finally felt ok enough to play some scrabble before bed, even though i lost yet again. i think the secret really must be knowing all the little two letter words.

i'm appreciating life without that stupid ulcer on the side of my tongue. yesterday it felt like it was finally 100% gone, which is such a relief. i couldn't eat anything without cringing in pain. and tomorrow i get to go to acupuncture and talk about my allergies. i'm sure i'm not allergic to dairy after not eating it for one whole month, so i can't wait to hear what she has to say so i can go out and eat a big ol' slice of pizza. mmmmm. and speaking of allergies, this has got to be the best site in the world. yay! now i can obsess about the pollen count, in addition to all the other things i obsess over.

i also finished two great books yesterday that everyone should read: the dud avocado, by elaine dundy, and something light, by margery sharp (which has the best cover i've ever seen--i was browsing powells and picked it up for that very reason). funny that they seemed so similar. i guess they're ridiculous and fluffy, but so entertaining and funny that they're worth it.
