My buddy relays tales from medical center where she works. She sees crude shit everyday, nevertheless the way she lights right up whenever she discusses the woman work is gorgeous. She mentions she actually is queer, that I never knew. I need to begin assuming people are queer until shown straight.
time SEVEN

V and I also have a beautiful early morning: a sidewalk purchase, a brunch of pupusas and plantains, that I successfully get in Spanish. I purchase three brand-new flowers and phone my mom. I make a carrot meal and unexpectedly hit a slump because I’m by yourself once again on a Saturday.

I deliver a picture of my personal apron that states « the latest part of the kitchen! », associated with emphasize my personal chest.
