brain end

well, it is finals time again at suffolk law school. this time I am bereft of Tyler, my usual partner in these mentally blistering weeks.

i have stepped just outside my apartment door three times now, just to see the sun. it is cold and windy, but when i am only outside in 10 minute increments it feels very nice.

salem street is interesting at 8 in the morning... all the young urbanites walking, always leaving the north end. women in suits hustling down the street in flats, heels in their bag. men in pea coats with coffee from the boston beanstock.

next week: christmas shopping. and lattes and book stores and movies. friends i have neglected and prayers i need to say. pedicures and baths and every fun thing i can think of doing.
