| medical updatemom's not doing so well. bit of a decline. she was supposed to be discharged on wednesday but it's been a back-and-forth with the doctors. by yesterday she was screaming "get me out of here!" but she hasn't been reacting so well to the medicine, throwing up and refusing to eat. she's cranky, petulant and in major pain. it took a long time for us to cheer her up with a story and distract her long enough for the pain medication to kick in. i told her how this client? architect? stopped in her office yesterday and dumped in five goldfish out of nowhere into her fish tank, since our lone fish seemed a little lonely. (i mentioned that we were out of fish food and some arguing ensued.) anyway all the goldfish died this morning so my brother had to scoop them out. she seemed in a less foul mood after my story. she also asked what i was up to and i described bringing in the houseplants from the outdoors and attempting to revive them, as well as running around town searching for her 100% cotton requirements, mopping the floor and opening her mail. this did the trick and she ate some delicious jook that my grandma made. stay tuned.

| post-traumatic stress disorderi am a complicated woman
with complicated desires
when will you admit
that you enjoy my weight
in your arms
you who will not stand me straight
perhaps you are thinking of her
as i am thinking of the other
dancing, the past can be driven
away banished
only the present
or
i am consumed
i wish nothing else
for the unnamed
that shall not be
who dwells
not on me

a poem i wrote on my subway ride home.

| five little things that make me happy1. white hotel sheets. suzy taught me the classic, comfortable beauty of these, especially if you buy them cheap at chatuchak market in bangkok.
2. gossip girl. each main character is fully developed and explored. i love the vulnerable blair and the evil blair. i like watching dan's moral tussles, especially when it comes to serena. i'm envious of jenny humphrey's sass. she's actually my favorite.
3. wearing my apron (or two). it's like a large bib, perfect for eating spaghetti in your lap.
4. ok, i'll admit it....people magazine.
5. big, long, juicy updates from my friends.
