~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

my back itches.

and i can't scratch it.

rats.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

it's raining outside. it's wet. i'm ok with that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

just made some browines - they're in the oven.

with a "k" written on top with white chocolate chips...for a coworker's birthday celebration tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

got the carbon monoxide detector. during work hours (!!!!!!!). but i'm ok with that too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

while i was out (getting item listed above) i decided to run into the grocery store to get some lunch from the deli.

took forever for someone to come to the counter.

and then... the express lane? the woman 2 spots in front of me had difficulty with her credit card. i mean DIFFICULTY. probably 7 or 8 minues. now, i'm all in favor of waiting patiently in line...but it's kindof a bummer when it happens in the express line, on your lunch time, after you've been to the hardware store and need to return to work as soon as possible.

dad's open heart surgery is next thursday... a week from tomorrow (well, for some of you that's a week from today). they said there's an 80% chance of things going well. which is the positive way of saying there's a 20% chance of things not going well. i tried to ask my mom what that meant, which she said it meant he wouldn' necessarily survive the surgery. but i don't think that's going to happen. he's such a stubborn man - he'll stick around for a while longer. i asked if he's doing any self-reflection on his life, etc. ...it's hard to tell, sometimes :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the brownies are out of the oven.

they smell very, very yummy.

am listening to a news program about new ammendment we will vote on in November re: stem cell research (both embryonic and adult). i'm fairly certain how i'll vote - but it's interesting to hear both sides so polarized... the program host had to do a lot of intervention - both guests were quick to overlap turns and interrupt one another. i'm sure the host went home exhausted.

love working with children who have autism. autism and behavior. that's my favorite. they're so interesting. and like trying to figure them out. we got a new student a few weeks ago. he's now my favorite. i enjoy trying to anticipate how his little mind works... and what it understands...how it perceives the world...and what he needs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

that's it. goodnight. and good morning.
