I'm pretty pleased with myself that my parents' phone has wrung four times in the last two hours, and I have answered it none of them. Each ring tends to grind my flesh, and I sit there smacking my head til the ringing stops, and inevitably, nobody was calling because nobody leaves a message. I feel very little guilt, sipping my cup of coffee at 7:49, because if it were important, they would leave a message.

Recent nice things: ( a list for old times' sake)
- I got to help in a sterile procedure to put a PICC line in a patient today. The sort of stuff that made me want to be a nurse in the first place. A PICC line deserves a lengthy explanation, but this is a list, dang it.
- Yesterday I made cookies with Lauren and walked Oscar for an hour. We played funny board games made out of pigs, and Dax gave me a whole bunch of watercolor paper. (very nice,
Gina)
- listening to new bands and old bands
- eating junk food
- reading and writing

I'm actually sort of looking forward to this fall semester, which is new for me.
