dear blog (and blog readers),

here is a list of good things from recent days:
- reading a lot of pages of this month's book club book.
- finally picking up the stuff? junk? mom and dad collected for me to take from their house (not the end of it, lest you be fooled) and sorting through it right away instead of just dumping it upstairs like i usually would. also, for condensing what was a large duffel bag, a large box, a shoe box, and a large shopping bag full of stuff into a shoe box, a jewelry box thing, and a very small stack. the rest went into the trash or in et cetera boxes. because i picked up this stuff and sorted through it, i actually held in my hands that note from a boy i said i'd saved; it does indeed still exist.
- moving our new deep freeze out of the living room and into the basement (without really injuring my back or dropping the entire thing and myself on brian while going down the stairs) and filling it with the pork from butchering a few weeks ago and chickens brian's parents have been storing for us.
- ordering our dining room set. i think it's going to be beautiful, and i cannot wait. thanks, mom and dad (and others)!
- spending almost six hours baking cinnamon rolls.
- waking up saturday not feeling as sick and weaning myself off the tussin.
- meeting brian's grandparents for pizza hut buffet for lunch today.
