this will be short because it's too late and i have class too early.
but what a week, eh? what an emotionally draining week! i feel like i just went on some crazy journey but i haven't even left provo. so many things have happened.
other than what's going on with my sister margaret (who's in paris), my mom got knee surgery just a few days ago. i'm going home thursday morning. not just to take care of my mom, i'll be getting more tests done, but at least i'll be able to take care of her a little bit.
today was super rainy. in a great way. it wasn't warm like texas rain, it was cold like fall rain. i love this type of rain. the clouds were so low on the mountains, they hung in such a thick gray curtain, it was so beautiful. and all the gold leaves were being plucked off the trees by the wind and carried like some precious gift to my doormat. it was glorious. even though i hardly talked today, even though most of my thoughts were to myself and i didn't do too many productive things, it was just such a great day. i walked to the grocery store. i saw my friend kelly. i saw melinda for a little while. i colored. i cooked breakfast for dinner.
i think a lot of times i just get caught up in everything important that i must, i absolutely must do, that i forget how wonderful simple things can be. like rubbing my bare feet on carpet. or finding something i thought i'd lost long ago. a dollar falling out of the dryer. a newly made bed. i always forget how absolutely intoxicating life can be.
