today was lovely in many ways. i spent time with beth and jay, i hung out with great kids, i ate thai and peruvian food and topped it off with gelato. i bought the new mewithoutyou and love it. i finished my paper with ease and without feeling that awful pressure that comes when i procrastinate on assignments. i visited my pets and saw my parents. i witnessed a beautiful lightning storm. now i am off to my wonderful bed to sleep the sleep of a well spent day.
