Today…

…I picked up my shoes from the shoe repair place.  Fixed old shoes are even better than new shoes! They’re like old jeans that you gotten too muffin-top-y for that suddenly fit again!

…While driving to pick up said shoes, on the radio heard Blues Traveller for the 20567379606th time on the radio here in the Eug. I have an undying hatred for Blues Traveller.  The combination of that dude’s voice AND the harmonica makes me want to kill myself.

…I feel lighter than I’ve felt in awhile.  Haven’t been sleeping all that well lately—I think because of anxiety about being gone for a month soon (so soon!)—but I feel lightsome despite the rain and the long to-do list and the reading that I was looking forward to being cancelled because of flooding in Corvallis.

…I wish I could corral all the people I love into the same town.  I wish that I could have some of my very favorite people who will never meet meet at my house around a dinner table full of good food and wine.  I wish that I could go for walks with my mom every day.  I wish someone would go ahead and invent a tele-porter already.
