It's supposed to be nice!

Dear Person Who Operates The Furnace For Our Apartment,

It's 60 degrees, in April. Turn the goddamn radiators off already. I should not be sweating in April in New York.

No Love,
Meg

Spring glee!

5 Things That Were Good About Today
1. The weather. It's so pretty today!
2. The Stop 'n Shop has express checkouts now. (I have an irrational fear of cashiers judging me by what I buy)
3. The Boy absconded with more office products for me
4. Seeing the neighborhood full of people walking around
5. The scale says I have lost 4 pounds since I last weighed! The pants concur.


3 Things I Did Well
1. Have kept up with embodiment solidly in my spiffy new journal
2. Vaccuumed, cleaned and almost did laundry
3. Extremely reasonable eating


2 Things I Look Forward To
1. More nice weather
2. The street fair tomorrow


Yesterday, when I was walking by the elementary school that's near the apartment, I looked at the kids playing and I thought: Wow. I am so glad that portion of my life is over. When I was much younger, someone once told me that adulthood never ends, so I should treasure being a kid.

And now, I'm glad I'll never be a child again. Whatever bright spots there were, and however difficult being an adult is, it's better this way.

When you're an adult if you don't like how your life is, you can change it. That change might be hard as hell to do, and it might require making sacrifices - but at least you have the choice. You can change jobs, you can leave your spouse.

When you're a kid, you can't give a two week notice and go to a school you like better, and you can't get divorce of your parents if they're lousy to you and emotionally crippling you.
