How I did it
How to say goodbye to that ONE person...for good.
It made me
more me

How I did it: I thought a lot, I cried, I lost my head and felt pain and anger, and then I stopped being such a fool.I also wrote him a good-bye letter (and burned it) and the last e-mail (but it was an answer). And that’s it. Read how I did it…

learn a poem by heart every week
Pushing forty by Alison Fell

Just before winter
we see the trees show
their true colours:
the mad yellow of chestnuts
two maples like blood sisters
the orange beech
braver than lipstick

Pushing forty, we vow
that when the time comes
rather than wither
ladylike and white
we will henna our hair
like Colette, we too
will be gold and red
and go out
in a last wild blaze

It’s not even spring yet and I’m not forty… well, I’m not procrastinating this time.

stop procrastinating (read all 2 entries…)
Snowstorm and lazyness, and too big a list...

Well, at least lazyness and a tendency to list too many things aren’t gone anywhere. We will see how it’ll be about weather.

This week I’ll try to:
  1. transcribe the interview;
  2. watch two or three films in Spanish;
  3. write a blog post; or two; or three;
  4. read a Spanish story;
  5. throw out 25 papers or other things;
  6. meet J.;
  7. attend a discussion on feminism;
  8. dress up for it;
  9. prepare and send that sample;
  10. run;
  11. go to the library;
  12. clean a bit;
  13. find a notebook for poems;
  14. learn one poem;
  15. maybe buy a new parfume.
