je vlkho dneska

My mother emailed me with good news this morning. My grandmother has been given the green light to travel, and they'll be driving in from Houston on Friday. Of course, now I must really clean the apartment.

Working on a scholarship essay this morning. How do I write about my future plans when I feel so little actual motivation? I'm scared I will wind up as one of those people who constantly talks about doing something but never makes it. It's okay. I've written essays like this on the fly before. The more vexing part is recreating my resume.

Very grey outside. Sort of flat and pale. Je vlkho. Rain already.

Last night I attempted a little yoga move inspired by Razorart. Very soothing actually. I slept well, thank you.

Today the store was filled with wailing children. Such fun. I'm glad I worked a shorter shift. Even though going to work interrupted an important conversation. For me anyways.

I did find a copy of Lewis Carroll's Russian diaries for $1.50, which made the day worthwhile. With Liane's help, I managed to cut my stack of young adult fiction in half and fill the shevles nicely. We also have almost an entire book of stuff to go out on the clearance cart.

Finished my resume, but no progress on the essay. Much work remains. However now I would like to eat something.

Highlights of my day: news of my grandparents, email from someone who understands so well, good conversation and a new book.
