ok, so no brain leaks yet! hurrah!

it was a week.  it really was.  at least, I'm pretty sure it was.

( there's something about holding books in your hand )

( on tree planting )

god, i've got to start posting every day - there's too much happening but i'm too lazy to write it all in here.  This journaling thing is fun, but I forget that sitting down and doing the daily actually helps, and doing a week long data dump will really only hit the silliest highlights...

( a select few of the happy moments )

( the slightly less pleasing ones )

( then there was the car-epiphany )

and I skittered and slid through the rest of the week having weird nasty dreams and decent Japanese quizzes, doing my homework and turning in my prospectus and smiling at my love -- who's taking a motorcycle safety course this weekend -- taking my vitamins and working on the website and generally making it, one day at a time.
