02. Good news, the car is fixed!

03. More sister hang-time, trying to make out the writing on a postcard dated 1949 (“attempeneh”?)Hearing from friends: “Sure do miss ya” – “You’re one of the reasons this city feels like home to me”

04. A celebration with friends. Fireworks, a walk around a crowded city block, seeing old friends (C, L’s sis), texting even older friends (B. B.), Smashing Pumpkins on the drive home.

Love these good talks. I know I keep writing entries about them, but it really feels like it’s been so long since anyone has talked with me and not at me. And so it makes me feel really good to be a part of that.

Coffee Fridays!

Upcoming birthday party.

- My apartment is clean! Dishes washed, clothes laundered.
- Working AC. Extremely happy about that.
- Funny midnight texts.

What the heck did I do on Tuesday? I think I just went to my mom and dad’s… Oh yeah! Went to their house and mom, out of nowhere, decided she wanted to get the first manicure she has ever had in her life. So we went and got manicures together.
