february

my first whole month free of work has been tumultuous in more ways than one. i've been getting a lot of what i wanted to do done too, though a lot has had to be pushed to the side.

it's gotten freezing in the past few days. i just got back from buying groceries(i'll be making the famous macaroni with tuna a la salah again, which makes me smile, and is also fitting since i'm working on finish my rabat memoirs). i decided to go to the nicer key foods on montague somehow remembering they have a bigger selection. which i remembered correctly. what i misremembered was their lack of bottom shelf variety; the other key foods has three or four cheap brands of everything - this one had one. i bought more than i thought i would so one bag didn't fit in my backpack; the hand that held it was numb when i got back to the apartment(an eight block walk or so).

i am looking forward to the spring; something's not right when dogs being walked, wearing full-body winter-wear, are shivering so bad they have trouble with their balance.

peace
